Blink and your wedding day will be over. If all you can remember is being posed for endless photos, that would be a sad memory to retain. Wouldn't it be far better if you remembered chatting, laughing and enjoying the company of your family and friends, and at the same time had a great collection of those story-telling moments captured for posterity?
This is my aim as a wedding photographer. To help you relax and enjoy your day, my shooting style focuses on photographing people and their interactions with each other. The love and romance between you both. The natural, unguarded, and genuine moments that happen with your family and friends. Capturing the story-telling frames that stand the test of time.

I'm happily married to my wife, Marie and we both love cats. We have 2 adopted cats - they actually live next door, but they're round our place so often, it's as if they live here. Which is ideal as we often cat-sit for our neighbours when they're away. I love silly jokes.
My current favourite comedian is Tim Vine with his silly puns like: "I've decided to sell my Hoover - it was just collecting dust." or "My mate's motto was: "Always leave the theatre with them wanting more!"I love languages. I loved learning French at school and picked up a few German and Spanish words from my school friends who chose those languages.

We hired Clive for our wedding reception and we could not have been happier with the service we received! Clive was very attentive from start to finish. We did not notice that Clive was there most of the time, he managed to get so many natural photos. He captured so many magical moments from the night, leaving us with some beautiful memories. We would definitely recommend Clive to capture amazing photos of your special day.

We wanted our wedding captured naturally and that is exactly what Clive gave us. He is so very professional and his years of experience shine through. When we received our wedding photos to view we were able to experience our perfect day all over again. No fake poses just capturing the love and togetherness of the day. We would highly recommend Clive.

We were fortunate enough to have Clive as our wedding photographer July 2021. From beginning to end the service he provided was fantastic in every way. All of our wedding guests still comment months after over how great he was. I cannot recommend him enough. Every time we look through our wedding images we are instantly transported back to that special day.

Clive is a professional who knows Witley Court well. He is friendly and creates relaxing atmosphere that make us less nervous. He arrived the venue about 30 minutes earlier than appointment time. Clive guides us through the shooting venue and suggested how to pose. I felt relax shooting with him. The photos finished within just about a week and they are all beautiful and look natural. Thank you very much Clive!

We are so glad we chose Clive as our photographer for our wedding. His style of ‘storytelling’ through photos suited us perfectly. It meant we did not have to pose for lots of formal photos, which is what we wanted to avoid. He has captured the day brilliantly. The photos are amazing. I don’t really like posing for photos, but Clive is snapping away without you knowing he is there, so captured some lovely natural happy moments.
Couldn’t recommend Clive highly enough.

We were looking for a photographer for our wedding in August 2020 and though we really wanted documentary style photography, we were not able to find any local photographers available on our wedding date within budget or that we really clicked with. That is until we found Clive by total chance after much browsing for photographers on Google! After speaking to Clive we knew he was just the guy for capturing our big day as he is relaxed and knowledgeable and his portfolio fit with exactly the style of photography we wanted for the day. Despite having to postpone our wedding until August 21 due to

Clive has photographed our wedding on 13th June 2021 and he was truly amazing! From the very first conversation with Clive we felt confident that he would be able to provide the photographs that we would want. We wanted a relaxed photographer who would also do formal shots and Clive was exactly what we were looking for. On the day he made us all feel comfortable and let the day flow taking some incredible shots that we didn’t even realise he was taking. Such a lovely person inside and out and we couldn’t be happier with the photos. Thank you so much Clive you have captured our special day perfectly
