“He captured every precious moment”

– Paige & Matt

the guy behind the camera

My wife, Daiga says I’m a bit of a geek but in a good way. I’m a self confessed Star Trek loving, Game of Thrones watching nerd. We are both Marvel fans, found DCEU a bit boring (Wonder Woman is the exception!). And I love to take the mickey out of my wife’s Star Wars obsession.

I spent over two decades working in corporate IT which is about as boring as it sounds. To be honest I didn’t know any different and there are worse ways to make a living. It was only when I picked up a camera and started photographing weddings that I realised what I was missing.

I love helping people and capturing those most precious memories still gives me such a buzz even after a decade in the industry. It sounds cliched but I genuinely think I have the best job in the world!

Over the years I’ve won a few awards, been published in some magazines and blogs. But that’s not what drives me. The real buzz for me is when I see your big smiles when you view your photos for the first time. Seeing your newsfeed blow up when friends and family see those stunning portraits. And don’t forget mum getting all teary eyed when she sees how beautiful you both look.

4 random facts about me

01.

We have two ragdolls nicknamed Master Luke and Princess Leia. Daiga insisted on “Master” and “Princess” so she can giggle when the vet calls out their full names.

02.

I grew up being jealous of people who were bi-lingual until one day realised I am bi-lingual!

03.

I’m constantly singing or humming some cheesy tune. It drives Daiga nuts. At weddings, I’m usually singing the last song that was played.

04.

My party trick is that I can waggle my ears without touching them.

My motto is work hard and play hard. I absolutely love my job and whilst I take your wedding photography very seriously, we can enjoy the day too and have a great time.

If you’ve had a good look around and like my photos then the next step is to get in touch and make sure I’m not some mad axe murderer and I’m the type of guy you’re happy to hang with for 10+ hours on one of the most important days of your life!

The quickest way to get in touch is to DM me via Instagram or click on the big button below and tell me a little more about your plans. I’m usually pretty swift with a response, typically within two hours – just bear in mind it might take longer during weddings (or when catching those zzz’s!).
