Brilliant wedding photographer

We hired Chris to photograph our wedding on 27/10/2025 and we couldn't be happier with the service he provided. Chris is a true professional and made us all feel completely at ease and most of the time you are not even aware he is there snapping away. We are so happy with how the photos of our day turned out and they came in a lovely presentation box with the USB pen with them all on and he even provides them in Hi Res and Low Res plus in B&W which is so handy. We also got Chris to video our ceremony too and we are really happy with how he videoed it at different angles and it really turned out great. If your looking for a photographer then look no further, we seriously could not recommend him enough. Thank you so much Chris, Love Leah & Graham ❤️

Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a wedd

Chris was great from the initial booking to delivering the final products, we went for the 2 Hour package as we had an afternoon wedding only and can honestly say we are over the moon over 180 pictures in total plus we paid extra for 2 canvases and the quality is brilliant. Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a wedding photographer. Thanks once again Chris from Lisa and Jamie. x

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I did a lovely wedding at Saltburn and we went down onto the pier for some lovely shots, that was different. I had a bride miss her chair when going to sit down at the reception, the room erupted with laughter 😃 I've had a dog in a tuxedo and a bride who was 2 hours late, all memorable.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Natural, Emotive, Captivating, Colourful, Editorial

What about your business are you most proud of?

I am most proud of my images

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Always shop around and get samples of the suppliers work to make an informed decision. If possible try and get previous customers reviews.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

It's always touching to see the memory tables, and little touches such as the wedding favours are always a personal touch.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I start by discussing dates for availability and then offer a consultation with the couple so that we can meet and get to know each other. I can show further samples of my work, wedding albums and find out the style of photography the couple would like including any special photos. Some couples don't like their photo taken but still want a photographer to capture their special day and that is totally fine. I can still take the traditional family photos and the rest can be totally natural in the moment. A lot of couples I have worked with have said they didn't even realise I was there. Once the photos are ready I will put them in your personal online gallery protected with a password so you can review the images and share them with family and friends. Once you are happy with the images I will mail out the USB stick in a lovely wooden presentation box.

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

The first kiss as a married couple

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Make sure I get photos of the bride & groom's dog in his tuxedo 😀

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Umbrellas and lots of them. Seriously if you do have a wet day thats not a problem, my equipment is weatherproof and we can still get some amazing images either in the rain or indoors.

Describe how you got into photography.

I have always loved taking photos from when I was little. I gradually improved my skills and cameras and started taking photos of family and friends events and from there launched my own business.
