Still scrolling wedding photographers and thinking “yeah… but none of these feel like us”? 👀

I bloody get it.

You don't want stiff, awkward wedding photos that could belong to anyone. You want photos that feel like you, your relationship and the absolute fun chaos of your day.

If you're planning an alternative, non-traditional, slightly weird wedding and want your photos to actually feel like YOU…

Comment GOOD VIBES and I'll DM you 🖤

🖤 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY REBECCA & RICHARD!🖤
📸 Only seems like yesterday I was these beautiful couples wedding photographer, time flies!

I hope you've had the best first year of married life and have won all the pub quizzes, played all the coolest games and have always looked as dreamy as you did on your big day 😍

P.s Rebecca, you still hold the trophy for being my first and only bride to pull the best face and tell me "I'm not doing that!" when I said one of my pose prompts that was supposed to make you guys laugh, and it still makes me laugh today 😂

Fun fact - this bride and groom held their wedding reception at the place me and my partner had our first date! The Charles Bradlaugh pub in Northampton. We now have it as a print in our kitchen made by Fridge Street from Vintage Guru St Giles 🥰

Did someone say MUSIC FESTIVAL WEDDING?! 🤘👀🖤

What an incredible experience it was photographing this awesome couple at my favourite festival, home from home for fellow alternatives and elder emos 😍🖤

The beautiful Rachael || The Alt Celebrant || Midlands and beyond performed their handfasting ceremony in the midst of it all right by the main stage in view and ferris wheel and it was the coolest wedding I've shot, hands down 🤚

Cannot wait to shoot more alt queens wedding days soon!
My diary is ALWAYS open for you guys 🥰✨️

Not every love story needs a white aisle and a country house... 👀🖤

Sometimes it happens in the middle of Download Festival, with a handfasting ceremony, muddy boots, loud music and people who couldn't imagine getting married any other way. That's exactly how it should be... How you want it ✨️

If your wedding is non traditional, a little different, a little louder, a little weirder and unapologetically you, I'm already obsessed.

I'm here for the alternative weddings, the festival weddings, the handfasting ceremonies, the tattoos, the docs, the leather jackets and all the beautifully untraditional moments in between.

Authentic beats perfect every single time.

I don't miss a single detail at your wedding, especially a big one like beautiful vintage cars 👀😍

This is a collection from a recent weddings gallery of what my bride and groom received of the car alone. We'll do a whole photoshoot in itself with it if you want! How beautiful does it look driving down the drive from against the trees in the Autumn? 🍂🍁
