Do wedding photographers travel for weddings?

Yes! I often venture out of sunny Essex for weddings. I travel up and down the country, and abroad for destination weddings and elopements too. So, whether its the Cotswolds, London, the Amalfi Coast or the Scottish Highlands, get in touch!

Do you have to pose for wedding photos?

I'll take your photo how I'd want mine to be taken. . .and I hate having my photo taken. There's no awkward posing or anything cheesy. I'll just ask you guys to chat away, be smiley, and maybe pretend to laugh at my jokes occasionally. I also don't believe in taking you away from your guests for an hour long shoot and keeping you away from the party. After the ceremony we'll do a quick 10-15 minute shoot, then maybe another 5 minutes after dinner for some sunset pics, and then a quick couple of night time snaps if you fancy it. That's all you need!

How many weddings do you shoot every year?

I try to cap it at around 30 weddings a year. I like to limit the number of weddings I photograph so that I can give my all to each wedding. And I don't want to rush the editing either, each photo deserves the same amount of time and attention.

Are wedding photography packages set in stone?

Not at all. If you want to add an extra hour of coverage to Package One, or a Second Photographer to Package Two, then go for it! You can build your own package to suit your day and what you need.

Are there any hidden costs?

Nope. Nothing. There's no hidden costs, no surprise VAT charge, nothing unexpected.

Will you take natural/candid photos of our wedding guests and us?

Yep! Loads of them! The bulk of my day is spent documenting the wedding day and everything that's happening, capturing those little moments you might miss.

Do wedding photographers take group photos?

Of course! I don't post many group shots on my website just because they look a little bit more formal, and I try to keep everything natural and candid. But they're an important part of the day! I do however recommend limiting the amount of them that you have. They can be pretty time consuming sometimes, and we want to get you back to your guests and enjoying the day.

Can we use our wedding photos on social media?

Yes! There's no funny contract rules that stop you from posting your pics. You can put them online and spread the love. Go for it!

Do you have backup equipment?

Yep, loads of it. Throughout the day I shoot on two cameras, both with backup cards in them, so everything is safe. In my bag will be two back up cameras, loads of lenses, stacks of batteries, and more memory cards than I can count. It's all covered, don't you worry!

Will you visit the venue before the wedding?

No. Now, hear me out. . . So much can change between my initial visit and your wedding day. If the weather changes, the light changes. If the season is different, the grounds look different. A pre planned route for your photos kills creativity. And we don't want that! On the morning of the wedding I'll of course go for a look around to scope out some potential spots, but a full visit before the wedding isn't always for the best.

Hey lovebirds! Planning a belter of a wedding?

That's proper exciting, and I want to hear all about it! Forget the awkward poses and stiff traditions – I’m all about capturing the wild moments, the real laughs, and everything that makes your day feel like you. Think of me as your extra bridesmaid, but with a camera instead of a dress.

Whether you're planning an epic rock 'n' roll bash or a laid-back day with your ride-or-die, I'm here for it, the colours, the dance floor, I want to know everything about how you’re planning to make this day uniquely your own.

I'm David. I take photos of people having the time of their lives. It's pretty frickin' great!

I've been taking photos at weddings for the last 7 years, and it's been pretty banging. Imagine every day you go to "work" you get to hang out with people having the best day of their lives. It's pretty great

I'm not there to pose you though, or to make you feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. I wanna document the day as it unfolds, letting moments happen organically with all your personality and inside jokes left in. I want to get photos of you guys as naturally as I can, to get photos that represent you both as a couple and this wild ride you’re on together. I wanna be there for all of those once in a lifetime moments on the day, and to capture all of the moments happening around you that you might miss in the blink of an eye.

That's why I won't try to turn you into models or ask you to do anything cringe-worthy. I just want you to chill, be yourself, and do your thing. I want your photos to represent you guys and who you are, not some false or fake version of you. I want to capture you and your day authentically.

I say it to every couple, but you gotta bring the vibe! Whatever it is you want for your wedding day, you've gotta bring that energy. Want a chilled one? Kick back and put your slippers on, and everyone else will do the same. Want a sick party with big energy? Then bring that vibe! Everyone else will soon be on board. I'll be in the background documenting it all so you can relive the rad times for years to come.

I get it. When someone points a camera at you, it can feel awkward, and no one likes it
