Documentary Wedding Photography

Weddings aren't about standing around posing for photos all day. They're about spending time with your favourite people, the ridiculous laughs, the hugs, the happy tears and all the little moments you don't even realise are happening.


My approach to wedding photography is natural and documentary-led. I want you to enjoy your wedding day while I quietly capture everything as it happens, with a little time for some relaxed portraits along the way.


These are some of my favourite moments from weddings across the North East and beyond, from getting ready and all the nerves beforehand, right through to everyone letting loose on the dance floor.
