Wedding Photography That Captures the Real Stuff

Wedding Photography That Captures the Real Stuff | Honest, Cinematic, and Unapologetically You

It’s the way they look at you when you’re not looking. The chaos before the ceremony. The quiet after. The weird, the wild, the wonderful. These are the moments that matter – and that’s exactly what I’m here to capture.

Whether you’re eloping on a misty hilltop with your dog or dancing under pub lights with your chosen family, I’ll be there. Queer love. Offbeat love. Wild love. Quiet love. Your version of it deserves to be seen, exactly as it is.

Documentary Wedding Photography With Soul

I shoot weddings through a documentary lens – always searching for real connection, raw emotion, and that perfect mix of beauty and honesty. I’m all about telling the truth of your day, while making it look like the artwork it already is.

My focus?

Honest emotion
A strong sense of place
Unscripted moments
The magic in the mundane

Your wedding is already a masterpiece – I’m just here to frame it.

Expect:

A relaxed, unobtrusive approach that lets you stay present
A blend of digital and dreamy 35mm film for texture and tone
Frames that feel like memories – not poses
Documentary coverage with cinematic flair
A few portraits that channel “accidental renaissance painting” energy

Perfect For:

Couples who want photography that feels like them
Intimate weddings, creative elopements, and DIY love stories
Those who care more about connection than perfection
People doing things their way – unapologetically

Why Me?

With 11 years in film – including work on Game of Thrones, Ant-Man and Downton Abbey – storytelling is in my bones. I’ve travelled the world shooting documentaries, learning to chase light, anticipate emotion, and embrace whatever the moment throws my way.

Now, I bring that same cinematic eye and grounded presence to weddings. No stiff posing. No pressure. Just honest, emotive storytelling with a quiet touch.

If you’re after wedding photos that reflect the real energy of your day – the quiet, the chaos, the connection – I’d love to hear your story.

Let’s capture something true.
