“We’re really pleased, you’ve done such a good job! They are perfect! We knew you’d be good at everything, from capturing natural moments, to your positioning, editing and the lighting. We’re really happy! We just wanted to say thank you and we really appreciate it. We couldn’t have asked anyone better!”

Hi, I’m Chris

I’m a UK wedding photographer based in Derby, covering weddings all across the UK and beyond.

I’ve been photographing couples’ special days since 2011.

I'm a passionate storyteller with a background in filmmaking, which makes me the perfect choice to capture all those real emotions and authentic moments that tell the story of your unique journey.

Why choose me as your natural,
documentary-style photographer?

Emotional Storytelling

My approach is to capture your day as it unfolds naturally; all those candid, heartfelt moments with the people that make your day so special. By focusing on genuine interactions, I'll transform fleeting moments into art that visually tells the story of your celebration and your love for each other.

Colours As Vibrant As Your Love Story

I love bold, vibrant colours, so when I edit your photos, I’m going to make them POP. Expect true-to-life colour editing that matches what your eyes really saw on the day - just with a little extra WOW.

STRESS-FREE
GROUP PHOTOS

Before weddings, I used to shoot portraits for rock bands, so I’m adept in arranging group shots and portraits with a fun, relaxed vibe and subtle posing. We’ll keep your group photo session short and sweet, so you can quickly get back to sharing special moments with those you care about most.

I love a champagne spray photo, they're so much fun to shoot, and look incredible. When else are you going to have an excuse to do one other than your wedding day (or winning the F1). Taken at the gorgeous @walledgardenatbeestonfields with Nicole and
I love a countryside wedding, and Amy and Owain's special day at @weddingsonpuddingpiehill in July ticked all the boxes: perfect summer weather, uncontrollable laughter and views for miles. Their symbolic ceremony was led by @jenniferbrucecelbrant, i
Did you know that Lincoln Cathedral was the tallest building in the world for over 550 years? So when Sharon and Andy got married in Lincoln in the summer, we absolutely had to use it as a backdrop for some photos, topped off with the classic Mini
