Weddings, families, portraits and work for businesses. Told what you get and when you get it, before anything is booked.
In a few words
Said in advanceA relaxed dayBacked up twiceYours to print
- 01How many pictures, how many hours of coverage, in what form and by what date — in writing.
- 02Directed enough that you know what to do, left alone enough that it looks like you.
- 03Everything copied to two places the same day. Nothing has ever been lost that way.
- 04Files you can actually use, with permission to print them wherever you like.

What I photograph
- 01WeddingsFrom the morning to the first dance, or just the hours you want covered, with a second photographer where the day needs one.
- 02Pre-wedding shootsAn hour beforehand, which is mostly about getting used to a camera before the day that matters.
- 03FamiliesAn hour somewhere you already go, with children allowed to be children.
- 04PortraitsFor work, for applications, or because nobody has taken a good one of you in years.
- 05Newborns and christeningsQuiet, unhurried, at your pace and around feeds.
- 06Business and productPhotographs for a website that do not look like stock, with a usage licence so your marketing people can get on with it.
- 07EventsParties, openings and the days a company wants to remember properly.
- 08EditingColour and light corrected, and retouching kept to what you would recognise as yourself.
- 09Prints and albumsMade up properly, so the pictures exist somewhere other than a phone.
- 10Restoration and copyingOld family photographs scanned and repaired.
First place that told me what would not suit me instead of just agreeing. I have been going back for four years.

We plan it together
The place, the time of day and a list of the people who must be in a photograph.

The shoot
Relaxed, with direction when you need it and none when you do not.
