Authentic and sentimental photography in a Documentary Style

Hello and Welcome to my website! I'm a British wedding and family photographer in the south of France. I specialise in friendly, relaxed imagery that captures natural and spontaneous photos. I create image collections that - above all else - capture genuine emotion in a way that's natural, easy-going, and timeless.

Depending on the time of year, I flit between the French Riviera, where I live with my wife and children, and Warwickshire in the UK, where I'm from. A former photographer for the UNHCR, my style is led by authenticity, sentimentality, and spontaneity. I care deeply about every image collection I deliver and love creating and sharing images I know will be treasured forever.

No awkward posing during couple photography sessions

My experience and friendly, easy-going relationships with people allow me to create amazing results remarkably quickly. I never force people’s behaviour to fit my vision and instead give people the space and freedom to laugh, have fun, and be themselves during photo-shoots.

The experience of working with me is reflected in the feel of my imagery: authentic images that resonate with real sentiment. If they need to be, couple shoots during weddings can be done between 10 and 25 minutes, meaning they can be organised without being too disruptive on people’s time-tables.
