In a few words
- 01
Said in advance
How many pictures, how many hours of coverage, in what form and by what date — in writing.
- 02
A relaxed day
Directed enough that you know what to do, left alone enough that it looks like you.
- 03
Backed up twice
Everything copied to two places the same day. Nothing has ever been lost that way.
- 04
Yours to print
Files you can actually use, with permission to print them wherever you like.
What I photograph
Weddings
From the morning to the first dance, or just the hours you want covered, with a second photographer where the day needs one.
Pre-wedding shoots
An hour beforehand, which is mostly about getting used to a camera before the day that matters.
Families
An hour somewhere you already go, with children allowed to be children.
Portraits
For work, for applications, or because nobody has taken a good one of you in years.
Newborns and christenings
Quiet, unhurried, at your pace and around feeds.
Business and product
Photographs for a website that do not look like stock, with a usage licence so your marketing people can get on with it.
Events
Parties, openings and the days a company wants to remember properly.
Editing
Colour and light corrected, and retouching kept to what you would recognise as yourself.
Prints and albums
Made up properly, so the pictures exist somewhere other than a phone.
Restoration and copying
Old family photographs scanned and repaired.
Recent work
Weddings, families and portraits, shown with everybody's permission.

From the first message to the finished pictures.
- Step 1
Tell me the plan
What it is for, where, and the feel you want.
- Step 2
The date is held
A deposit holds it and comes off the price. What is covered and for how long is written down.
- Step 3
We plan it together
The place, the time of day and a list of the people who must be in a photograph.
- Step 4
The shoot
Relaxed, with direction when you need it and none when you do not.
- Step 5
Your gallery
Edited pictures in an online gallery, ready to download and print, by the date agreed.

The workPhotographs of people being themselves
The best pictures from any day are the ones nobody posed for: somebody laughing at a joke you cannot hear, a child who has forgotten the camera is there.
So I work quietly, direct when it helps, and stay out of the way when it does not. What you get afterwards is the day as it felt rather than a set of arrangements.
