Fun-Loving Birmingham Wedding Photographer
Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a celebration. A gathering of your favourite people. A day full of laughter, happy tears, questionable dance moves and moments you didn’t even realise were happening.
As an experienced wedding photographer Birmingham couples trust, my job is to document your day exactly as it unfolds, naturally and honestly, while you get on with having the best day ever.
my story
I’ve been building my wedding portfolio for over 10 years, starting in Ironbridge and as far as Scotland and Crete. While I’m proudly a wedding photographer based in Birmingham, I mainly shoot weddings across the West Midlands, Warwickshire and Worcestershire and I’m always happy to travel for a great love story.
My approach to photographing weddings is simple. I capture real moments, genuine emotions and all the in-between magic that makes your wedding uniquely yours.
Am I the photographer for you?
YES! If you…
♥ Have fallen in love with my images
♥ Don’t want hundreds of posed and formal photos
♥ Want a photographer who feels like part of the family
♥ Plan on having an awesome wedding, not a photoshoot
♥ Want to fill your walls with laughter, tears and hilarity
♥ Live in The Midlands, Worcestershire, Warwickshire or Derbyshire

I’m A recommended SUPPLIER FOR some incredible venues:
Pendrell Hall, Mill Barns, Foxtail Barns, Ashes Barns, Hanbury Barns and Whistle Barns

Pendrell Hall, Mill Barns, Foxtail Barns, Ashes Barns, Hanbury Barns and Whistle Barns
Having photographed weddings at these venues, I know how to make the most of their light, layouts and outdoor spaces, whatever the weather decides to do.
I regularly photograph weddings across Birmingham, Sutton Coldfield and the wider West Midlands. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer Sutton Coldfield couples recommend, or someone local who knows the best venues and hidden photo spots, you’re in safe hands.
My Approach to Photographing Weddings
The best thing about photographing weddings for me (apart from the food) is that I get to be part of your family for just one day.
If we end up working together, we’ll spend a fair bit of time hanging out on your wedding day so it’s pretty important that you actually like me. My aim is always to blend in, capture everything as it happens and never be a distraction. I love it when couples tell me I did a great job before they’ve even seen a single photo. Honestly, that’s the biggest compliment.
When it comes to your couple photos, I see that time as a chance for you to take a breather together for the first time after the ceremony. A quiet moment to reconnect, have a laugh, take it all in and just be with each other. I’ll gently guide you if you need it, help you relax and give you something to do, but I won’t force awkward poses or make you feel uncomfortable. I’m there to capture the way you naturally look at each other, not make you perform for the camera.
The only time I properly step up and take charge is during group shots. I’ll make sure we get the photos you want and then get everyone back to celebrating as quickly as possible.
wedding photography Portfolio
It’s honestly so hard to narrow down a selection of my favourite images because no two weddings are ever the same.
The best part of post-processing for me is that very first scan through a wedding day, spotting the little moments you might have missed as well as the big, emotional ones. Sometimes I can’t even wait until the next day to have a look.
Have a wander through my portfolio to see how I tell the story of a wedding day as it naturally unfolds, from the laughs and happy tears to the slightly questionable dancefloor moments.

FAQ's
WHAT IF WE CAN’T RELAX IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA?
It’s rare that my couples feel comfortable in front of the camera, that’s why a big part of my job is to put you at ease. I’ll guide you as much as you need. It’s also the beauty of candid, relaxed photos. You just need to concentrate on having the best time and I’ll do the rest.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO WE NEED TO BOOK?
Get in touch as soon as you have a date, it’s never too early so get in there before somebody else does!
CAN YOU HOLD A DATE FOR US?
Unfortunately not as I get enquiries for the same date so whoever puts down the £200 booking fee first gets booked in.
CAN WE MEET BEFORE WE BOOK?
Of course! In person if you’re in the Birmingham area or we can zoom if you’re further afield.
OUR WEDDING ISN’T IN BIRMINGHAM, CAN YOU COVER IT?
Yes absolutely, UK travel is covered in my pricing and I love to explore.
CAN WE SWAP OUR PRE WEDDING SHOOT?
Pre Wed shoots are complimentary as they’re great opportunity for me to get to know you, as well as chatting through the details of the day so unfortunately they can’t be swapped for anything else.
CAN WE HAVE A DISCOUNT?
The most important thing to me is working with couples I love. I don’t want to turn away anyone who has fallen in love with my style but if you have an immovable budget then we can chat about shorter coverage, especially if it’s not a peak date (summer Saturdays). Mind you if you’ve spent all your budget on snow machines and tap dancers then I’d urge you to reconsider and spend some of it on the one thing that will capture all of the wonderful memories of your day.
DO YOU TAKE GROUP PHOTOS?
Yes of course! These are really important as they ensure I capture all the important people but Ideally they won’t take up too much time – I suggest 6-8 groups. Of course you can have more but just be aware of how much time they can take up.
DO WE HAVE A COUPLE SESSION ON THE DAY?
You do yes! It’s the perfect opportunity to sneak off for a bit of time together after the rollercoaster of the day so far. I won’t drag you off for hours on end, just the right amount of time to get a beautiful collection of images before you head back to your friends and family.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU’RE ILL?
Now let’s not tempt fate, I would have to be extremely ill to not make your wedding but I know how important this day is for you so putting my sensible head on I realise there is a slim possibility of something disastrous happening. If this was the case I would contact my network of amazing photographers, find you a replacement and pay them. I would still edit your photos in the style you fell in love with.
WHAT INFO WILL YOU NEED FROM US?
I’ll send out a questionnaire about a month before for the details I’ll need. Mainly timings for the day, group photo info and any details about anything special going on. We can also chat if you’re having a pre wedding shoot or would like to have a phone call/zoom.
WE DON’T WANT TO GO AHEAD WITH THIS WEDDING WITHOUT YOU, HOW DO WE BOOK?
Drop me an email and if you’d like to have a chat just let me know. We can work out the amount of coverage you want and just chat weddings. Then you fill in the contract, send over £200 to secure the date and I’ll pop you in the diary.
WHEN WILL WE GET OUR PHOTOS?
You’ll get a sneak preview a few days after your wedding, while you’re still riding the wave of excitement to keep you going until you get the rest. Then over the next 6-8 weeks (hopefully less in off peak times) I’ll work my magic getting rid of the blinking people, repeated images and extra chins. I’ll upload the final gorgeous collection to an online gallery so you can easily view, share, download and print your photos.
DO YOU DO ALBUMS?
Absolutely! It’s so special seeing your photos in print and holding an album in your hands. Choose from Layflat and Luxury albums with gorgeous thick pages, a choice of covers and colours.
WHAT IS A PRINT RELEASE?
Basically this means you can print and share your images as much as you want to but you can’t edit them or use them for marketing without my permission as I retain the copyright.

Pre-Wedding & Engagement Photoshoots
Engagement or pre-wedding photoshoots are a brilliant way to help you relax in front of the camera. It’s a chance for us to spend time together, get to know each other and make sure you feel totally at ease before the wedding.
You’ll receive a lovely collection of natural images and feel confident knowing exactly what to expect during your couple session on the wedding day.
You can book a couples photoshoot with me even if I’m not photographing your wedding for £150.
Let’s Tell Your Story
If you’re searching for a relaxed, friendly wedding photographer in the West Midlands or Birmingham, and you care more about moments than poses, then hi, we should probably talk.
I’m all about weddings that feel like you. The big laughs, the emotional hugs, the happy chaos and the dancefloor shapes that probably shouldn’t be spoken about again. If you want photos that remind you how it felt, not just how it looked then we’re on the same page.
Fancy seeing if we’re a good fit? Drop me a message, tell me about your plans and let’s see if I’m the photographer you want hanging out with you all day.
