The Bearded Man Photography

Worcester based photographer covering Weddings, Engagements, Elopements and Celebrations. Do you want a highly experienced, flexible and confident photographer?

Paul is the man, working under the name "Shemp" for many years as a homage to his love of B Movies (ask him, he will tell you all about it). He first picked up a camera at the tender age of 20, learning how to develop film and all the tricks of the trade before moving in to the digital age of photography and re-learning everything. Over the past 14 years he has never stopped learning, experimentin

g and shooting all kinds of events and places all over the world.

Paul has travelled around Canada and America to the west and as far east as India, as well as a few counties in between. He has always had a camera by his side.

Having shot everything from weddings and new borns to landscapes and festivals no challenge is too daunting.

He has also worked commercially for many years as a photographer and image editor giving him full confidence to take on any challenge.

Bit useless at posting recently… but here’s a little glimpse into this absolute dream wedding from a couple of weeks ago at Rhyse Farm ✨

Grace & Jordan were absolute legends from start to finish — super chill, up for anything, and bringing the energy all day. From emotional moments to a wedding breakfast entrance to Pitbull that absolutely went off… this one was special 🕺🏼🍾

Also… Grace’s custom Converse deserved their own moment 🤍👟

NETT AND ROB!

No rules. No ballroom. No perfectly polished timelines.
Just two humans, wildly in love, tucked away in the woods with their favourite people, incredible food, muddy shoes, and a spirit of adventure running through the whole day.

Inspired by travels through India — rich colours, layered textures, candlelight, shared food, music in the air, and that feeling of warmth and chaos somehow existing perfectly together. A woodland café wedding that felt less like a traditional wedding day and more like stumbling into the most beautiful hidden gathering on earth.

Coffee brewing, spices in the air, lanterns glowing beneath the trees, long tables filled with laughter, stories from the road, and people dancing like nobody was watching. The kind of atmosphere that feels collected over years of adventures together rather than ordered from a wedding brochure.

Kids running through woodland paths, chai warming cold hands, music echoing through the forest, and a dance floor that started early and refused to end.

These are the weddings I love most — soulful, relaxed, slightly untamed, and completely alive.
The kind of day that feels like travel, home, and celebration all wrapped into one. 🌿☕️✨

Love, rain, sun, smiles, homemade treats, garden games, confetti flying everywhere… and a flat tyre for me on the way home.
A day full of the good stuff — the kind of wedding where everyone properly settles in, laughs loudly, eats too much cake, and dances like they’ve known each other forever. The weather couldn’t quite make its mind up, but honestly, it just added to it all. One minute sunshine, the next rain, then straight back to golden light again.
The absolute best people, the loveliest atmosphere, and the sort of day that reminds me exactly why I love doing this job. Even with the tyre drama at the end. ✨

Historic vibes, proper country pub energy, and a day full of unreal people.
The kind of place that already feels special… then you fill it with this lot and it just hits differently.

Flowers everywhere you looked — not just details, but moments. Texture, colour, chaos (the beautiful kind).
Bride absolutely owned it, brought the vision and then some.
Groom? Cool as you like. Took it all in, no fuss, just fully there for it.

A room full of familiar faces too — past couples, old hugs, new stories.
That always means something. Proper good humans, proper good energy.

Laughter bouncing off old walls, glasses clinking, that warm buzz you can’t fake.
The kind of day that doesn’t need forcing… it just is.

And then golden hour rolled in like it knew exactly what it was doing.
Soft light, slow moments, everything just settling into something magic.

KATIE AND JAMES

STANFORD FARM
Ace couple. Wild skies.
Cocktails. Cardigans. Chaos.
No rules. Just rock n roll.

ALEX AND CHARLOTTE- if only all Fridays were like this at Diglis House Hotel — intimate, easy, full of laughs.

One of those days where the rain kept trying its luck… but we danced around it, dashed between showers, and made it part of the story anyway.

Confetti never misses — soft, chaotic, joyful little moments that feel exactly like it should.

Small wedding, big energy. Just your people, your vibe, no fuss… and a whole lot of love.

If this is your kind of day, you know where I am 🖤

You don’t have to choose.

Full colour.
Full black & white.
Every single image.

Because some moments hit loud…
and some hit different when you strip it all back.

Colourful confetti flying everywhere —
and somehow it still hits just as hard in black & white.

Same moment.
Different feeling.

The chaos, the noise, the energy… it’s all still there.
Just seen a different way.

And you get both.

No extra cost.
No picking favourites.
No missing out.

Just your day — every way it deserves to be felt.

Weddings aren’t about playing it safe… even if it means sacrificing my eyesight for the shot.

This is me.

A slightly chaotic, tiny human version of me… long before beards, weddings, and editing photos until midnight.

These photos are proof I was once small and fairly well behaved (debatable).

Fast forward a few years and now I spend my weekends photographing brilliant humans getting married.

I’m not big on stiff posing or turning your wedding into a photoshoot.
Weddings should feel like weddings… loud, emotional, messy and full of life.

I’m the calm one when timelines wobble, the weather does its thing, or nerves kick in.

And afterwards I’ll spend hours editing your photos properly… not pressing an AI button and calling it a day.

Same kid.
Just taller, bearded, and still loving the moments that matter.

If you’re planning a wedding and want photos that feel like the day did, I’d love to hear about it.

TOM AND CHARLOTTE

From Tudor tavern to city streets.

We started in another era — timber beams, corsets, tankards, full-on time-travel energy.

Then fast forward.

Sharp suit. Modern dress. Red heels on wet pavement.
Pints outside a shopfront like it’s just another Saturday — except it’s their wedding day.

Same couple.
Different centuries.
Zero rules.

Proof that your wedding can be historic at 2pm… and feel like a gritty city love story by sunset.

And honestly? That contrast is everything.
