Aylesbury

Wedding photographer in Aylesbury

I photograph weddings in Aylesbury and across Buckinghamshire, with a style that is mostly natural and focused on what is actually happening rather than turning the day into a long photoshoot.

The approach

The small things that happen between the obvious moments

I am looking for reactions, movement and the small things that happen between the obvious moments. The glance across the room, someone laughing halfway through a photograph, confetti going in completely the wrong direction, people relaxing once the formal part is done. Those are usually the photographs that feel most like the people in them.

That does not mean I never direct. At the beginning, a little guidance can help you stop thinking about the camera. With couple photographs, I might put you into better light or give you a starting point. With large family groups, I will organise everyone clearly so the photographs are done properly and efficiently. After that, I would rather let things happen.

I also use black and white throughout my work when it suits the image. I love the way it can simplify a busy frame and put all the attention back onto an expression or movement. I do not force every photograph into the same treatment. Colour stays colour when that is what makes the image work.

Coverage and cost

Short ceremonies and full days both work

Wedding photography starts from £80 per hour, with discounts available for longer bookings. You can book shorter photography for a civil ceremony or smaller wedding, or longer coverage when you want the complete day photographed.

For shorter weddings, the flexibility of hourly coverage is particularly useful. You may only want the ceremony, the photographs immediately afterwards and some time together before moving on with the rest of the day. For a larger wedding, we can build the photography around the parts of the day that matter most to you.

If you are nervous about the camera, tell me. It is useful information, not a problem. I am not expecting you to arrive knowing how to stand or where to look. Afterwards, preview images are sent first, with the finished photographs typically edited within one to two weeks and delivered digitally as well as on a custom USB drive.
