Photography, music…and cake.
Also coffee. And guitars. Basically — things that make life feel good.
Let’s skip the usual clichés.
My first camera – a Kodak Instamatic – arrived when I was six. Since then, my eye for quiet, intimate moments and beautifully composed storytelling has only sharpened. I’ve been documenting life for as long as I can remember.
Photography and music have always been my creative anchors. I’m a dedicated guitarist (my neighbours can confirm), and I live in Essex, surrounded by countryside and elegant venues, travelling across the UK and beyond to document weddings in their most authentic form.
What I bring to your wedding day:
Discretion, warmth, and a relaxed presence. I blend into your celebration – never intrusive, always observant – capturing fleeting glances, spontaneous laughter and those blink-and-you’ll-miss-them moments with an editorial eye and a documentary heart.
Think of me as a guest with an impeccable camera and a good sense of timing (and humour).
I’m known for calm energy, dry wit, and genuine connection with couples and guests. And yes – coffee and cake are practically part of the contract.
A few indulgences (we all have them):
- Nine guitars (and counting)
- Strong coffee. Always. Preferably with patisserie.
- A slight obsession with Greek islands
- Liverpool FC (eternal believer)
- Travel. Whether it’s the English countryside, a Parisian château, or a clifftop ceremony in Santorini—my bags are packed.
- And once, I sat next to Dermot O’Leary for a year at sixth form college. He introduced me with the same chant every day. It stuck.
In essence:
I offer a refined yet relaxed approach to wedding photography — capturing the beauty, elegance and emotion of your day with style and sensitivity. If timeless imagery with a touch of artistry (and a flat white recommendation) sounds like your thing, we’ll get on.

Finding Dan to photograph our wedding feels like we struck gold. We knew he just “got” us and what we were about from the first time we met with him.

My natural, relaxed approach
When you look back at your photographs, I want you to be transported — not just to how it looked, but to how it felt. My style is rooted in authenticity and elegance, capturing candid, fleeting moments that tell the true story of your day. Quiet glances, spontaneous laughter, the atmosphere between you and your favourite people — nothing staged, nothing forced. Just honest, emotive imagery with a timeless feel.
On the day, you’ll barely notice me. I blend into the rhythm of your celebration — discreet, observant and always ready. No awkward posing, no interruptions; I let moments unfold naturally and guide gently only when needed, keeping everything relaxed and effortless for you.
Couples tell me how comfortable they felt, how it never seemed like a photoshoot — and that’s exactly the point. Your wedding isn’t a production. It’s a celebration. My job is to document it with sensitivity, intuition and a refined editorial eye.
The result? A collection of images filled with intimacy, depth and beauty — photographs that feel like you, now and decades from now.
