Milton Keynes

Wedding photographer in Milton Keynes

I photograph weddings in Milton Keynes and across the wider Home Counties, with a mainly natural approach and clear direction when it is actually useful.

The approach

Let the day happen, step in when it helps

For me, wedding photography works best when you are allowed to get on with the day. I want to photograph the reactions, movement, conversations and moments that happen naturally, not spend hours constantly stopping people and rearranging them for the camera. That said, I will not leave you standing there wondering what you are supposed to do.

At the beginning, I am happy to give you a starting point. That might mean changing where you are standing, putting you into better light or giving you enough direction to get past the awkward first few minutes. Once you relax into it, I would much rather step back and photograph what happens between you naturally.

The same applies to group photographs, although I am more organised there. If we have a large group of family or friends, someone needs to take control or it takes forever. I will tell people where they need to be, get the photograph done properly and then let everyone get back to the wedding.

Coverage and cost

Hourly pricing, and a set of photographs within a couple of weeks

I also love movement and black-and-white photography. Walking, confetti, dancing and those split-second expressions often produce the photographs with the most personality. Black and white can strip away distraction and put the attention back onto the people in the frame.

Coverage starts from £80 per hour, with discounted rates available for longer bookings. I photograph full wedding days, shorter coverage, civil ceremonies, elopements and engagement sessions.

If your wedding is split across different locations in Milton Keynes, tell me when you enquire. Knowing the ceremony venue, reception venue and rough timings makes it much easier to recommend sensible coverage. After the wedding, I send preview images first, followed by the fully edited set, typically within one to two weeks, delivered digitally and on a custom USB drive.
