Wedding Photography
Capturing the Moment
I am expert at taking very natural looking photos without being intrusive or making people feel uncomfortable. I will also take some posed photos, but you decide how many and when so that this does not take up too much time. There is no need to pay for two photographers as I will capture all the key moments.
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.

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.

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 Session Prices
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.
