Thought I’d do a quick hello to all my new followers! 👋
I’m Aaron, the bloke behind Magpie Magpie, and I photograph weddings and families across Norfolk and Suffolk with my wife Ali.
I was handed a camera when I was a little kid and honestly I’ve never really put it down since. Then life got in the way for a fair few years… lockdown came along, I picked it back up and realised how much I’d missed it. Magpie Magpie started in 2024 and every single wedding since has been me getting a little bit closer to doing this full time. My first ever couple, Holly and Tom, took a massive leap of faith on me when I was just starting out and I’ll never forget that.
I’m neurospicy (ADHD) and for a long time I thought that was the thing holding me back. Turns out on a wedding day it’s basically my superpower! I tend to clock the stuff happening three people back, I don’t flag at hour nine, and I’m still bouncing about when the room’s turned into a party.
I also hate lining people up and shouting “lovely, and again!” Especially the staged Kissing! I mean that’s as awkward for you as it is for me no doubt!
Ali not only shoots with me whenever she can and she’s honestly my secret weapon. She’ll have your dress sorted before you’ve even noticed it needed sorting. We only got married ourselves in 2025, so we know exactly how the nerves feel from the other side!
5 things you probably don’t know about me…
1. I’m part of a paranormal investigation team. Nothing’s grabbed me yet 👻
2. I took up the drums because my son Kaileb looked way too cool on stage with his guitar. Rockstar drummer in my own head
3. I once genuinely thought an olive was a pickled grape. I was a grown man
4. A couple’s taxi never turned up at Norwich Castle so we drove them there ourselves.
5. If there’s a dog at your wedding, we’re photographing the dog. Not up for discussion
If you hate having your photo taken, or you’re a bit neurospicy yourself, you’re in exactly the right place. I get it 🖤
Pop a 👋 below and say hello back, I’d love to know who’s here!
