A documentary wedding photographer

 

I'm a useful source of knowledge for all those wedmin questions  - in fact I've written a few blog posts on wedding tips and planning your timeline - which comes from having photographed nearly 250 weddings.  Trust me - I know what works and what will make your day smooth and the party swing.

I describe my style as documentary wedding photography - which means I have a hands off approach on the day.   I capture the wedding as it unfolds and limit my direction to the handful of group shots (read my take on group photos here) and even the couple shoot is informal, fun and relaxed - it's more of a bit of a stroll together where I'll help you relax, laugh and enjoy the short time away from the rest of the wedding (you won't have much time alone for the rest of the day so enjoy it!).  We'll have a chance to meet up for a coffee or speak face to face on Skype before the wedding to chat through the timings of the day so nothing is a surprise and that you feel you have a friend arriving to photograph your day and not a total stranger.

About me

 

I have been a photographer for ten years now, having spent the first half of my career as a director in a marketing company. I love to travel - you can read about my trips to Sri Lanka and Nepal on my blog. I do the usual amounts of yoga and swim in my local lido in East London. I have the most beautiful little Beddlington Whippet (see pic!). I believe in a healthy work/life balance so I minimise the amount of weddings I shoot to ensure that I have weekends with friends, family and my girlfriend.

I also own a photography agency called Raccoon London and have an wonderful team of creatives who either shoot alongside me or are out capturing parties, events and other things.

I have a wandering soul and an open heart. This job is probably my dream job. If you want to know anything at all about me I am an open book and would love to chat.
