What I love most about my job is you. And your partner. For me, weddings are all about people and I think you'll get that when you see my photography. I want you to have the most amazing day of your life, so relax, have fun and do what you want to do! It's your wedding - it's not a photoshoot, it's not a fashion show, it's not a portfolio building exercise or advertising opportunity for me.
It's your wedding! Everything you see on my website is 100% unposed, it's a moment that happened naturally during the course of a real wedding. No forced smiles, no awkward poses, just raw emotion and real memories. For me, that's what being a documentary wedding photographer is all about. Although I live in North Wales (and do photograph a lot of North Wales Weddings) I photograph weddings all over England and Scotland too.

A wise man once said, "it's not what someone does, it's why they do it that really matters - and that's what you should judge them on". I get my satisfaction from knowing that I've helped to keep those memories alive. I honestly think that if it wasn't for the bills (and my kids needing shoes) I'd happily shoot weddings for the free food (and thank you booze)!
If you're the kind of couple who want to have a bloody good day, without worrying if your photographer's going to be bugging you all day - then I could be the photographer for you. It can be quite a leap of faith when choosing a wedding photographer. Naturally, everybody only shows their best work, so how are you meant to know if they're really as good as they make out?
There are a couple of obvious and a few not so obvoious differences between my Silent Movies & Photofilms. For example, my Silent Movies are black & white and. In contrast, my Photofilms are colour, blend audio subtly recorded on your wedding day with music and take a much more considered and structured approach to re-telling the story of your wedding.
The idea behind secret proposal photography is to photograph something special that's often not photographed. Just about everyone has a wedding photographer these days and some even have engagement shoots. But what about capturing the moment they say "yes", as well as the moment they say "I do"? Just like weddings, every proposal story is different - and I love that!
My approach to wedding photography is very much a documentary one. It's about creating photos that have real meaning - not manufacturing memories. I'm all about photographing the natural moments, the genuine emotion and the real smiles. I'll tell your story from the inside out, from a guest's perspective, to create images that are immersive and compelling.

Chris is the best wedding photographer there is.
I know we have only had one wedding, but this has also come from our friends, bridesmaids, and family on the day. Chris is super friendly & genuinely a really great guy. He also takes incredible pictures.
Chris got to know us before the wedding, so it felt like we had a mate with us all day. I can't explain how important it is to get on with your photographer. He was around like a friend, and also took some cracking pictures. He has such a unique skill at being everywhere at once, without ever feeling as though he is impacting on your day. It's

I contacted Chris because I wanted this very special moment recorded. I was sold by his blog in secret proposing and his enthusiasm of creating a new and most natural way of recording your proposal beginning to end! Chris wasn’t just a photographer but also my top man, he gave me encouragement when I needed, helped and executed the job perfectly! We now have unforgettable memories
Thank you Chris,

I found Chris's page on Facebook. What attracted me was the no posing side of it... I only pose for selfies! As luck would have it Chris was running a competition to try and win your wedding photography for the day, sadly I didn't win but I did come runner up and got a discount! I chose the full day package plus the silent movie. From the start we knew Chris was a great choice. Hubby spoke to Chris on the phone and then we got all the info via email. Thing about Chris is he really goes the extra mile and makes you feel valued as a customer. After we paid the deposit he sent us a card and a bar

Chris absolutely blew us away from start to finish. He is genuinely a lovely person who cares about your special day, but totally respects what you want.
We enjoyed having him at our wedding and he felt like one of our friends, so he captured the most wonderful, natural photographs. We was even my therapist in the lead up to the wedding, when I was worried about my "Wedding Smile".
He accommodated everything we dreamed of, including our dogs! If we had to choose over, we'd not change a thing - we would choose Chris every time.
He also stood out from any other photographer we spoke to, or our
