I photograph weddings using a photojournalistic or documentary approach, so I work towards gathering a collection of images that tell the story of your wedding as it unfolds, utlising available light, locations, and ambience.

I rarely use a speedlite, and work to use the natural environment and candid moments to portray my subjects in their best light. I attempt to be as unobtrusive as possible as a courtesy to the wedding guests and participants, and often use a telephoto to follow authentic, unscripted moments in time.

My aim is to deliver you the images your wedding deserves via a flexible series of service offerings that you can adapt to your needs and budget. I supply the full collection of digital negative files from the day as a standard part of the package. I also include the 'best' post-processed images in full resolution, in electronic form. You're then fully equipped to order prints as and when you like.

Naturally, if you would like me to optimise prints for a particular purpose, or develop a Queensberry wedding album then I am happy to do so. I aim to make the wedding photography process as transparent and flexible as possible.

You're welcome to browse through my recent wedding photo collections here, or you can check out selected portfolio images here.
