Looking for a natural wedding photojournalist?
maybe you've just stumbled upon the perfect fit?
Finding it tough looking for a natural wedding photographer to capture your day? It’s a minefield, isn’t it.
Finding a wedding photographer can feel overwhelming. With so many options, how do you choose someone with the right eye, experience, and calm presence for your once-in-a-lifetime day?
You’ve spent hours scrolling through identical-looking images and generic websites, but you’re after something different—someone who captures the true essence of your wedding. The atmosphere. The raw emotions. The unexpected, joyful moments you didn’t even see.
If this sounds like your search, you may have just found the right match.
Below are the most common things couples say when they book me—see if they resonate with you.
"We don’t like having our pictures taken."
I get it—I’m not a fan of being in front of the camera either. But don’t worry!
On your wedding day, I’ll blend in with your guests, capturing real moments without you even noticing. No awkward posing, just natural, genuine memories.
My photography is often called documentary, reportage, candid, or photojournalistic—labels aside, it’s all about storytelling. I’ll observe, anticipate, and capture the true essence of your day, so you can relive it for years to come.
One of my favourite compliments? When guests assume I’m a friend of the couple, simply capturing moments as a favour. That’s when I know I’ve done my job right.
"We want natural images, not posed ones."
Perfect! 98% of my coverage is completely unposed.
Aside from a few group shots or lightly guided couple portraits, I don’t direct or stage anything. My approach is quiet, patient, and observational—capturing genuine moments as they unfold. I look for unique angles, subtle interactions, and the beauty in the everyday, turning fleeting moments into lasting memories.
By anticipating and documenting real emotions, I create honest, emotive, and timeless images that truly reflect your day.
"We don’t want orders from a bossy photographer."
That’s not my style.
I work quietly in the background, capturing real moments—many you won’t even notice happening. You should be celebrating with friends and family, not standing around posing.
While my focus is on documenting human interactions, I also take a few detail and location shots to help set the scene. I’m quick, unobtrusive, and always respectful, especially during the ceremony.
Group photos? I keep them minimal—just 20 minutes for a few small family shots. Couple portraits? A relaxed 10-15 minutes, no awkward posing.
And when the dancing starts, I’ll be right there, capturing every epic move. By the end of the day, you’ll hardly know I was there—but your photos will tell the full story.
"We want to trust and feel comfortable with our photographer."
Your wedding should be stress-free.
You need a photographer who is professional, calm, dependable, and easy to be around—someone you can trust. That’s exactly how I work.
I won’t take over your day, give orders, or stage moments. Instead, I’ll blend in, connect with your guests, and create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels at ease.
The result? Natural, honest images that capture the true essence of your day.
"We value photography, and it’s vitally important to us."
You appreciate great photography, and it’s high on your list of priorities. You won’t compromise.
Instead of spending a large chunk of your budget on flowers that fade or a cake that’s gone in hours, you want something lasting—authentic images that preserve your wedding story for generations.
You’ve sifted through countless photographers staging moments, chasing trends, and filling galleries with endless details. But that’s not what you’re looking for.
You want photos that capture the laughter, the nerves, the joy—the real moments. The way you stumbled and giggled during your vows. The reactions during the best man’s speech. The emotions that made your day unforgettable.
In 25 years, when you share these photos with your children and grandchildren, you won’t just see the day—you’ll feel it. The love, the anticipation, the happy tears. And the presence of those who are no longer here but will always hold a place in your heart.
Most photographers focus on décor and details. But to me, the most important thing to capture is real people, real moments, real emotions.
Maybe, just maybe, you’ve found the right photographer?
A wedding photojournalist who keeps it real
I’m a wedding photojournalist based in Blackburn, Lancashire, but I travel across the UK to document weddings with a natural, unobtrusive approach.
My job? To capture your story—not stage it for my portfolio. Think of me as a camera-wielding ninja, blending in while documenting real moments as they unfold.
With 18 years in the industry and over 450 weddings under my belt, I’m ranked 4th in the UK, 16th in Europe, and 20th globally as a WPJA (Wedding Photojournalist Association) photographer. But titles aside, what matters is my ability to create timeless, meaningful images that truly reflect your day.
No bossing people around. No endless portraits. Just a quick 15-minute couple session and up to eight essential family shots—because even your nan wants to get back to the party.
Not big on social media? Same here. I focus on capturing real memories, not chasing Instagram likes.
So, if you want an ego-free, down-to-earth photographer who values authenticity over trends, we might be the perfect fit. Let’s make your wedding unforgettable—for you, not for the algorithm.
