I’m a Birmingham Wedding Photographer who loves to shoot in an unobtrusive style
A Birmingham wedding photographer specialising in taking a mix of candid moments and lovely relaxed portraits. I’d love to be there to capture your day. There is real magic in the everyday moments that happen, which if captured with photographs can tell a story of the events which shape our lives.
As a documentary photographer, my purpose is to see and record those special moments, to document them and pass them on to you.
The most significant times in our lives
I believe photographs may be the most important way to lock our memories into that moment, a doorway to looking back and remembering the good times we share as family and friends. A photograph is a gift more valuable than money to pass on to our children or loved ones. After all, what is the one thing we would look to save in the event of a fire?
Some days in our lives deserve moments and memories captured to be looked back upon and treasured. What day is better to re-live than your wedding day? The special moments caught in time, family members gathered to celebrate, smiles and glances.
You make the moment
A documentary photographer shoots photographs in a journalistic way, and while I will be there capturing your day from getting ready until the end of the first dance. It’s your day, your decor, your wedding dress and family, bridesmaids, best men, guests and you, the Bride and Groom. You are the ones who make beautiful photographs. I will be there to capture that moment and memory. Providing images for you to keep that memory alive.
Natural Poses
We spend only about half an hour on ‘formal’ photographs or set-up shots. You want to celebrate with your friends and family so we will take a little time out after the ceremony to get some amazing photographs of you as a newlywed couple; I feel this is your day – you are the stars of the show. I won’t pose you heavily, just pure, natural compositions to try and capture the love you share.
A reference point for a lasting memory
The wedding photography I produce is created with integrity, honesty, and, if I can help it – without any influence from me on you or your loved ones.
Being based in the midlands as a wedding photographer Birmingham is the ideal location as I can reach any part of the UK in many cases in just a couple of hours. I can photograph any destination wedding (travel and hotel expenses will be extra).
What inspired me to become a wedding photographer?
My wife and I married in a small town called Tyringham in Massachusetts. We were looking for a photographer to capture the day. I quickly realised after looking at other photographers’ beautiful work that I wanted to be a wedding photographer. I loved the work I saw and felt a deep connection to the images. I ended up photographing our wedding and managed to get some great photos.
Starting out
On our return from our trip, I set up and began to photograph friends’ weddings and discovered I had a knack for capturing joyful expressions, unscripted moments, and relationships. I especially like the fact I don’t direct the flow of a wedding – I document moments as they organically occur.
Finding beauty everywhere
Beauty can be found everywhere. I try to document it wherever I go. You’ll find easy access to all of my work right here – from weddings to landscapes, engagements to commercial, street photography to cityscapes.
My work is centred around Birmingham but I have many photographs of America, including Los Angeles, New York and the American National Parks.
Telling the story
For me, nothing compares to people. A photograph of a person can tell a story a thousand words cannot. There is nothing better for me than to capture that ‘moment’ – the look, smile or laugh which tells a small part of the story of a wedding. I believe every person has a story to tell sometimes in just one image.
Let me tell your story. Enquire today if you want me to photograph you. Whether it be for a single portrait or your wedding day. To capture images of your family or to document an important moment in your life. I will help you to capture the memory and help it live forever to be passed down through generations of your family.
