I'm an affordable London wedding photographer who doesn't want to be associated with the wedding industry. I think couples get really exploited by a lot of wedding suppliers, including professional wedding photographers who charge exorbitant fees, so I try to put ethics, transparency and affordability at the heart of what I do. I've photographed well over 300 weddings, and have over 150 verified five-star Google Reviews, which should indicate that I am a proper professional wedding photographer!
As well as wedding photography, I also undertake a range of photojournalistic, documentary, live music, event and corporate assignments. I use a contemporary yet vintage/retro style, and shoot with an observational, reportage, documentary approach. I work mainly in London and the South East but also work on commissions across the UK. I offer a highly professional service, but I am still a very affordable mid-budget London wedding photographer, under 1,000 for most wedding packages.
My fees are considerably lower than other professional wedding photographers.

Services
Most of my wedding photography packages are well under 1,000, much below what other professional wedding photographers charge.
Indeed, I often photograph weddings for budgets under 500.
The wedding photography prices quoted here apply to bookings in central-ish London, and will increase slightly for weddings that are further afield.
I construct my fees and package to give you flexibility and choice, and most importantly, to keep my fees as low as possible.
So while some photographers have a flat fee (often north of 1,750) even if you only want them for about four hours, I actually have a four hour fee, which is much lower than my eight hour fee ( (as it should be of course)!

As standard, all your photos will be colour-corrected.
But you can also opt for an additional full set of your images, with a stylised look applied (at an additional cost of 10% of the basic fee).
You may want to enjoy your pictures with an artistic stylised finish, but not forego having a record of your wedding day in a more faithful rendering.
So, your original colour set effectively becomes a 'back up' set.
If you intend to create an album of your wedding photos, you may want to combine, for example, colour with black & white photos.

My visual style is very much observational/reportage and stems from my MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography.
But I appreciate that doesn't really tell you a lot - most wedding photographers these days say they do documentary wedding photography.
So I wanted to say a little bit more about my particular visual style.
And it might sound pretentious, but I'm influenced far more by cinema than I am by other wedding photographers (even though some of them are great photographers, and I really admire the work of quite a few of them!)

The most important thing to mention is that I am a reportage photographer.
That means my photos focus on interactions, moments, and generally telling the story of your wedding day.
So there is no special emphasis placed on the ceremony, the group photos or the couple portraits for example.
As such I do not turn your wedding into a photoshoot.
So, the more 'contrived' aspects of the day (namely, the group photos and couple portraits - see below) are done quickly.
As such, expect to see groups being arranged hurriedly, champagne flutes in the background, guests' ties not being straight etc.

OK, so what songs you play as you walk down the aisle or have your first dance to are clearly none of your wedding photographer's business.
But couples often mention to me that they have no idea what that song should be and are looking for inspiration.
I know that The La's 'There She Goes' is about heroin, but as it's about a love of heroin, it still counts as a love song.
And a top tip: Bruce Springsteen's 'Dancing in the Dark' will work wonders as a dance floor filler straight after your first dance.
