Documentary wedding photography is a natural, story-led approach that captures real moments as they happen—without awkward posing or staged shots. It focuses on genuine emotion, connection, and the unscripted beauty of the day.

In the UK, wedding photography typically ranges from £1,000 to £3,000 depending on experience, coverage, and what's included. It's important to look beyond the price and consider the style, approach, and personality of your photographer.

It's best to book your photographer 12–18 months in advance, especially if you're getting married during peak season (May–September). Popular dates go quickly!

A good package usually includes full-day coverage, high-resolution edited images, an online gallery, and pre-wedding consultations. Some photographers also offer albums, engagement shoots, or sneak peeks.

Look for someone whose style matches your vision and who makes you feel comfortable. Read reviews, browse full galleries (not just highlights), and make sure your personalities click—this matters more than you think!

Traditional photography is more posed and structured, focusing on key moments and formal portraits. Documentary photography is candid and observational, telling the full story of your day as it naturally unfolds.

Not at all! With a relaxed, documentary style, the focus is on real interactions. I’ll guide you gently when needed (like during couple portraits) but the rest is captured naturally as your day flows.

Rain doesn’t ruin your photos—it adds atmosphere! I come prepared for all weather, and we’ll find gorgeous indoor or covered spots. Plus, umbrellas and moody skies make for magical moments.

Most couples receive their full gallery within 6–8 weeks, but I always send a few sneak peeks within the first few days so you can relive the excitement while you wait.

Absolutely—and you should! Highlights are great, but full galleries show how a photographer handles every part of the day, from prep to dance floor.

It depends on your guest count, venues, and priorities. A second shooter is great for larger weddings or when you want both bride & groom prep moments captured at the same time.

For a full-day wedding, you’ll typically receive 500 beautifully edited images, depending on the flow of your day and the number of events.

Many do! I offer a simple 25% deposit to secure your date, with the remaining balance due closer to the wedding. I’m always happy to chat through flexible options.

Yes—but with a relaxed, documentary approach, I focus on capturing things organically. That said, I always work with you to understand any important moments, people, or traditions you want captured.

Yes! Engagement sessions are a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera, and they make for gorgeous save-the-date or wedding website content too.

Stick to outfits that feel like you, but avoid bold patterns or clashing colours. Neutral tones and soft fabrics work beautifully, especially during golden hour.

Definitely. I always suggest a Zoom call when you enquire and another closer to the day to finalise all the details. It’s important we connect and feel comfortable with each other!

Touch wood, this hasn’t happened yet! But I’m part of a strong network of trusted photographers, and in an emergency, I’d arrange for someone with a similar style to step in.

Yes—every image you receive is individually edited in my signature natural style. I don’t batch-process or outsource, so you get consistency throughout.

Absolutely! I regularly cover weddings in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and beyond. If you're planning something a little further afield, I'm in!

Definitely — planning a wedding day timeline that flows well is a big part of ensuring a relaxed and well-documented day. I’ll help you figure out how much time to allow for getting ready, couple portraits, group shots, and golden hour light — all while ensuring there’s time to actually enjoy your day! With experience from dozens of weddings, I’ll guide you on what works best while staying flexible around your plans. Having a photographer who knows how to manage time without stress can make all the difference in your day running smoothly.

Yes — I come fully prepared with professional-grade cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment, along with backups for everything. I shoot with dual card slots so your images are saved to two cards at once for extra security, and I keep backups of all files until your gallery is delivered safely. It’s part of the professional service I provide — peace of mind knowing your wedding is being documented safely, no matter what happens.

Yes — I have full public liability and professional indemnity insurance, which protects both you and me in the unlikely event of an accident or issue. Many venues require this as a condition of working on site, and it's something every professional photographer should have. It's just one more reason to choose someone who’s established and experienced — so you can relax, knowing the important things are covered.

You'll receive full personal usage rights to your final images, which means you can download, print, and share them as much as you like for non-commercial purposes. The photographer typically retains the copyright, which is standard in the UK — this means they may use a few select images for their portfolio, website, or social media. If you have privacy concerns or want to keep everything under wraps, just let your photographer know — most are happy to accommodate this where possible.

Every photographer has a unique style. I specialise in documentary-style photography with an artistic twist — which means I focus on real moments as they unfold naturally, while also capturing beautifully composed portraits and details. My goal is to tell the story of your day in a way that feels authentic, emotional, and visually stunning. You'll get a mix of candid, emotional images with a few relaxed, gently guided portraits sprinkled in.

That really depends on the kind of day you’re planning. Most weddings benefit from around 8–10 hours of coverage to tell the full story — from morning prep through to the dancing. If you’re having a shorter celebration or an elopement, a smaller package might be more suitable. I’ll help you work out what’s right based on your schedule and what moments are most important to you.

It’s super easy! Head over to my contact page and send me the key details of your day — the date, venue, and a little about your plans. I’ll check my availability and suggest a Zoom call so we can chat and see if we’re a good fit. If you’re happy to go ahead, I’ll send over a contract and invoice for the booking fee (25%). Once that’s signed and paid, your date is officially secured!

All the final photos in your gallery will be professionally edited to reflect my signature style. This includes colour correction, contrast, cropping, and light retouching where needed. Editing ensures consistency throughout your gallery and enhances the emotional impact of each photo without making them look overly processed. Some photographers also offer advanced retouching on request (e.g. skin smoothing, background clean-up), but this may be charged separately. The goal is always to enhance the image while keeping it authentic and true to the day.

You’ll receive a curated selection of the very best images that tell the full story of your day — usually around 500 images, depending on your coverage. Photographers take thousands of images on a wedding day, but not every shot is a keeper (think duplicates, test shots, or blinking guests!). The final gallery includes everything meaningful, beautifully edited and consistent in quality. If there are specific moments you want captured, communicate those in advance — I will make sure nothing important is missed.
