Warwickshire Wedding Photographer based near Kenilworth and Coventry keeping it relaxed and natural
My Approach & Your Day
My goal is to create THE story of marriage, capture REAL life by not turning your day into a posed photo shoot. A wedding is one of the happiest days to be part of. Every single person will share so many emotions throughout the day and this is why I adore being a wedding photographer.
Throughout your day I work behind the scenes capturing natural, documentary style images with some romantic portraits of the two of you whilst keeping it relaxed for you both - you won't even know I'm there a lot of the time! Your portrait shoot is a lovely opportunity to spend some time together - let it sink in that, yes, you just got married! This realisation gives you that warm glow helping you with those romantic shots. This is one reason why a practice shoot is perfect to show you there's nothing to worry about when having your photo taken.
To capture true emotion, I work really hard to blend in by becoming a wedding guest - which is why I dress for a wedding (usually involving some tweed). Throughout the day I'll get to know everyone celebrating your day and they'll start seeing me rather than 'the guy with a camera' - and boom, people become more themselves!
It’s really important to me that you enjoy the day you’ve worked so hard to create. You’ll never find me ordering you or anyone around, but if I do see an opportunity I’d regret missing, I’m not too shy to ask. This skill comes in handy when organising the formal shots, which I do as quickly and smoothly as possible.
I’m a big softy when it comes to grandparents. It’s not unusual to have Grandma trying to find an excuse to "get help" from the photographer when she pretends she’s not good on her feet. For those who do struggle, I always make sure they’re looked after and never on their feet too long during the group shots.
I put as much effort into post-production as I do on the day itself. I don't buy presets, it's all me and I go through every image individually, colour correct & check that all the images work together as a whole to suit the style of your wedding. No one is the same and every wedding is different. Your images will showcase the best of your day and more importantly, your love for one another.
Coverage
My day starts around 10-10:30 when it's not too early to be drinking bucks fizz! I'll be capturing all the little details with the bride and her bridesmaids getting ready and also the laddish antics between the groom and his groomsmen. I’ll be with you throughout the day, ducking and diving around unobtrusively and will make my departure when the dance floor is no longer bouncing.
Consultation
I want to get to know you before your big day, so meeting up for a consultation is the perfect way to do so. Since covid arrived I've been doing these via video chat which have worked really well. But if you'd prefer to meet in person (local to Coventry) I'm more than happy to do so! We’ll cover your wedding details, what style of photos are important to you, and go through my samples. If we have time I sometimes throw in a complimentary shoot - it’s not as scary as it sounds, honestly! I'm very used to people saying ''I don't like having my photo taken'' but I work really hard to make sure you're comfortable and relaxed and you soon forget I'm even taking photos.
A place your photos will call home
My signature wooden box and wooden USB drive is included in most packages. This includes all digital images and also a good wad of prints. Yes, actual prints that you can hold and look through whenever you like. Not only will the box look great on your mantlepiece but you can show people some of the best wedding photos without having to go on an electronic device. (Please note, wooden box designs may change by the time you receive your images). If your package includes a music slideshow, this will also be saved on your USB drive. You'll have your own password-protected online gallery, where you will be able to share your photos with friends and log in on your phone while you're out to reminisce (again)! Your gallery can be shared and downloaded free of charge (with watermarks), or they can purchase high resolution copies or prints without watermarks. I always include a discounted rate for the first month too!

Wedding Photography Packages
I present my pricing in an honest and open way - no hidden charges. There are three packages; including a variety of components, from digital images to albums, large prints (9x6") and thank you cards. Travel up to 50 miles (from Coventry) is included in the price(s), my travel fees are very reasonable though and we'll talk about this during your consultation. A package with limited time is also restricted to 10pm. If you have something different in mind, packages may be tailored around your individual wedding so please don't hesitate to send me any queries.
Albums can be purchased from £500. I usually arrange this after your wedding. It's much nicer to see your photos first and then build the album around them. Decisions such as album size, covers, number of pages are all easier to make once you have seen the images. All my albums are handmade in the UK and are of the highest quality - you will not be disappointed.

Booking me in
Once you’ve filled in the Enquiries Form on my website, we will arrange your Pre-Wedding Consultation. I prefer to meet in person local to Coventry, but if you're miles away from The Midlands we could organise a video chat - we've all become so use to it these days anyway. Booking is confirmed with payment of your deposit (£300). You're also welcome to upgrade your package before your wedding date, bookings can't be downgraded though. You will then receive a hand made package which includes loads of useful information and tips that I've put together to help you on your journey to saying "I do" - it's almost like a wedding planner guide. My couples have commented that this information pack has been a Godsend when organising their day. As this is likely your first wedding, I would really like to share the knowledge I’ve collected to help make your planning easier.
