Wedding Photography Portfolio

Documentary wedding photography in Northampton

My approach to wedding photography is simple: observe, anticipate, and tell the story — and that philosophy runs through every image you see in my wedding photography portfolio. I focus on capturing your day as it genuinely unfolds, without forcing moments or interrupting the flow.

As a documentary wedding photographer in Northampton, I work quietly in the background, photographing everything from the big emotional highlights to the blink-and-you-miss-it details — a squeeze of the hand, a burst of laughter, happy tears during speeches, and that wild dance floor energy once the party really gets going.

You won’t hear me constantly directing you or asking you to repeat moments for the camera. Instead, I let your wedding day happen naturally, so your photos feel relaxed, authentic, and true to who you are — not staged or overly posed.

This approach is perfect for couples who:

  • Feel a little awkward in front of the camera

  • Want natural, unposed wedding photos

  • Care more about real moments than perfect poses

  • Want to fully enjoy their wedding day without distractions

Natural, storytelling wedding photos

Your wedding photography portfolio should do more than just show pretty pictures — it should bring you right back to how the day felt, capturing the emotions, laughter, and little moments that made it unique. That’s exactly what I aim to do with every wedding I photograph.

My photography style focuses mainly on:

  • natural light

  • real emotions

  • couple’s storytelling

  • a relaxed, friendly presence

When couples look through their gallery, I try my best to make them to laugh, cry, and notice moments they didn’t even see on the day. That’s the magic of documentary wedding photography.

While most of the day is captured candidly, I’ll gently guide you when it helps — especially during couple portraits — keeping everything easy, natural, and stress-free. No stiff poses. No pressure. Just you being yourselves.

Weddings Across Northampton & Northamptonshire

I photograph weddings all across Northampton, Northamptonshire and beyond, including:

  • historic venues (e.g.: The Guildhall Northampton)

  • outdoor and garden celebrations

  • intimate, laid-back weddings and big party days

Whether you’re getting married in a grand venue, a cosy countryside location, or somewhere completely unique, I bring the same documentary, storytelling approach to every wedding I photograph.

Every couple is different. Every wedding is different. That’s what makes this job so much fun.

A wedding photographer who feels like a guest (with a camera)

Couples often tell me I feel more like a friend than a supplier on the day — and honestly, that’s the biggest compliment.

I blend in, chat with your guests, and create a relaxed atmosphere so everyone feels comfortable being themselves. The result? Natural photos that feel effortless and full of personality.
