Hey,
I'm Paul
Alongside photography I have worked in the emergency services for the last 15 years - something that I'm very proud of. What started as a creative escape has become a huge part of my life, and now I really love the balance I have between the two. When not working I love to be outside, especially when hiking and exploring new places with some tunes on. Travel is also a big motivation for me, and I have been privileged to tick off some very cool places on the scratch map including Iceland and Chernobyl.
Prioritising authenticity + real moments
Photographers do more than just point and shoot; we're there to capture the details and the fleeting moments that make your day unique. So you can relive your wedding day endlessly. My work begins well before your wedding day. Getting to know you as a couple is essential, as it helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I specialize in both digital and analogue photography, catering to couples who value the experience and details, whether in the UK or worldwide.
On your wedding day, I focus on the details that matter most to you. From intimate moments to the lively, unpredictable energy of the night, I'm there to capture it all. Often, the unplanned moments are the most magical. With experience in handling the unexpected, I'm always ready to capture the perfectly imperfect moments that tell the true story of your day.

The Process
01. Initial enquiry
Get in touch
Fill out the contact form on my website or email me directly with details about your wedding date, location, and any specific photography needs. I will respond within 24 hours to confirm my availability and discuss your vision for your big day.
02. Consultation
Lets talk about your plans
We’ll schedule a consultation—either in person, over the phone, or via video call—to go over your wedding plans and photography preferences. Based on our discussion, I’ll provide a customized proposal outlining the packages, pricing, and contract details.
03. Secure your date
Time to get excited
To secure your wedding date, review and sign the contract included with the proposal and submit the £200 deposit. Once the contract is signed and the deposit is received, your booking is confirmed.
04. 6 weeks out
Essential details
Around six weeks before your wedding, I’ll send you a questionnaire to gather the essential details needed to prepare a timeline. We’ll then schedule a video call to discuss your final plans and ensure everything is in place for your big day.
05. The big day
The “I do’s”
My approach is to blend into the background, allowing events to unfold naturally while I document the authentic emotions and interactions that make your wedding unique. This results in a beautiful, unscripted narrative of your day.
06. Gallery delivery
Show me the pictures
I’ll provide you with a handful of sneak previews within 24 hours of your wedding. Your full gallery of high-resolution images, including a mix of colour and black-and-white photos, will be sent to you within 6-8 weeks.
WOW! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. WE AREN'T USED TO POSING FOR PHOTOS BUT STRAIGHT AWAY PAUL MADE US FEEL AT EASE AND IT WAS SO NATURAL. THE RESULTS ARE BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU AGAIN AND I COULDN'T RECOMMEND ENOUGH!
