Welcome to my website, my little place on the world wide web. I guess if you\u2019re here you\u2019re looking for a wedding photographer for your amazing day.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pretty well known around these parts now for what I do, having photographed what must be in excess of 600 weddings in the past 15 years. It\u2019s a full time job for me and a passion (mind you, so are ginger buscuits, collecting vinyl and watching movies) and a job I\u2019m forever grateful I can get up every morning to do and it not feel like I\u2019m doing a days work! (Sorry, not sorry).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So why would you choose me to capture those special moments? Well, hopefully if you\u2019re still reading this you\u2019ve had a look at my photographs and you love my style of photography. I\u2019m not a budget wedding photographer and I\u2019m not a \u2018traditional\u2019 Yorkshire Wedding Photographer or a \u2018documentary\u2019 wedding photographer. I\u2019m somewhere inbetween. I love the emotional moments at weddings \u2013 you know, dad crying when he sees you in your dress for the first time or your chief bridemaid struggling to hold it together as she helps you to get ready, to a nervous groom \/ partner when you walk down the aisle.\u00a0 But I also love those magazine \/ editorial shots and the moody evening wow shots. And, no, posing doesn\u2019t need to cheesy or arkward or last for hours. Ask ANY of my couples \u2013 it\u2019s 20 minutes and a lot of fun! So if that\u2019s your kind of thing \u2013 read on, pop me a message and let\u2019s have a chat. It’s all about the sparkle!<\/p>\n
