Wedding Photography
Capturing the Moment
I am expert at capturing key moments and natural expressions without becoming intrusive or making people feel uncomfortable. I also take more formally posed photos, but you decide how many. There is no need to pay for two photographers as I won't miss anything.
Added Value
The price you pay is not just for my time on the day. All images are professionally edited before you see them. This takes time but I do not cut corners as editing makes a huge difference to the final results you see. See Blog
3 Years Online Support
More customers now want high resolution image files on DVD but may not know how to make the best quality prints. I offer free telephone and email support for all image files purchased, including replacing lost or damaged files.
Maximum Choice and Flexibility
You can tailor-make your own package from my À La Carte Menu or try the Set Menu of my most popular packages. There are options for Storybook Albums, Slideshow Movies with Soundtrack, Image Files on DVD or Traditional Prints. You can even change your mind on the package you choose after you've booked.
Reliable Quality
I have now covered well over 600 weddings. I know how to cope with any tricky conditions or situations.
I am a fully insured SWPP Associate with over 25 years experience. I will ensure that your special day is captured both creatively and professionally.

Asian Weddings
Over 25 Years Experience
I am a very experienced Asian wedding photographer and have covered most types of Asian and Indian weddings and receptions. I am familiar with the traditions and religious ceremonies of Hindu, Sikh, and Muslim weddings. Please visit the
A Fresh Approach
I find the colour and ritual fascinating to photograph and an opportunity to record both formal ceremonial aspects and more candid moments. I guarrantee to capture all the key symbolic elements but also to bring a fresh visual perspective to capture mote natural expressions and spontaneous moments.
Value for Money
The price structure for Asian weddings may be slightly different from my standard wedding ceremony packages due to the often longer time requirement, so please call me on 01234 823081 or contact me to ask for a tailor-made quotation based on your specific requirements.
I usually take 80-100 photos per hour, so you will have plenty of images to choose from.
Flexible Options
I offer a variety of Storybook Albums or Traditional Prints, or you can simply purchase the Image Files on DVD. I also offer a Slideshow Movie which is a great way to make use of all the photos and makes an ideal gift for relatives who could not attend on the day. Please take the time to view my Asian wedding portfolio. There is also a brief sample of a Slideshow Movie plus a video demo of a Storybook Album.

Family Portraits
Family Portraits
Everyone has a different idea about what makes a good portrait, so I will work with you to get the type of photograph you want. Whether you just want an individual portrait or photos of more than one person or maybe a whole family group, I will take a wide selection of different shots during the session. I can work at your home or at my own studio using either a professional backdrop or a more natural setting. I work digitally so you can view the results as we go until you are happy with the results. See more extensive portfolios.
Pet Portraits
You may want to include your pet(s) in a family portrait or have them photographed on their own. Like kids they can be uncooperative when it comes to posing. I am very patient and experienced in catching the right moment and if necessary I can combine different images on computer to get the best results.

Portrait sessions start at £50 for up to an hour. There is no limit to the number of shots taken or subjects photographed, so you can get poses of the whole family, both individually and together, and the dog or cat as well.
