YOUR LOVE,
YOUR STORY
My Background.
Hi, I’m Dan, a UK wedding photographer based in Nottinghamshire. Although I cover weddings all across the UK, I’ve recently relocated from South Yorkshire, where I lived for the past 20 years, back to my roots in Nottinghamshire.
​
​
My photography journey began in Nottinghamshire in 2001 when I first got a point-and-shoot digital camera. Initially, I used it to document my friends and me as we traveled the world on skateboards. Along with taking photographs, I also filmed our skateboarding adventures, creating some amazing memories.
As I grew older and wiser, I shifted my focus to the mountains, capturing stunning landscapes and documenting wild camping trips. This experience was more relaxed and easier to photograph.
Then, in 2017, my mum asked me to take some photographs at her wedding. I had been waiting for an opportunity like this, so I jumped at the chance. After the wedding and once I sent off the images, I decided to pursue wedding photography full-time. And here we are now.
Who would have thought I’d become a fully established wedding photographer? With over 50 weddings under my belt, I offer a relaxed documentary approach to wedding photography while covering all the traditional aspects if required. Being fully insured and having a great network of suppliers and other photographers to collaborate with, I strive to make the whole process as fun and relaxed as possible for you.
Having worked with celebrities who prefer a discreet approach, I am well-versed in providing this type of service if needed.

What you can expect from your investment in my service.​​
​
Before.
Our journey together begins with an initial consultation where we get to know each other and discuss the basic details of your wedding day. Since weddings are often planned far in advance, this initial meeting will cover a rough outline.
I’ll stay in touch via email to ensure the package you booked still suits your needs and to see if there have been any changes. I always encourage my couples to share any examples of work they love that we could recreate.
Approximately four weeks before the wedding, once the final payment has been made, we’ll schedule another call to create a detailed plan for the day and address any final questions you may have.
During.
I will follow a detailed plan, but don’t worry if things run behind schedule. I will help and encourage certain situations to ensure we capture everything on the plan.
I always go with the flow while keeping timeframes in mind. If you have an idea for a photo, feel free to ask me at any point. Whether it’s a family photo not on the plan or a spontaneous walk through the woods, I’m always ready. Chances are, I’ve already thought of it and will mention it to you before you even ask.
I won’t just leave when our booked time is up. I’ll always check in to see if there’s anything else you want photographed, even if it’s just one last image with all the guests!
After.
The same night I get home, I’ll transfer and back up all the images and start the culling process to pick the best ones. Within 24 hours, I’ll provide you with around 25 preview images. If you plan to post on social media, it might be worth waiting for these professionally captured moments!
According to my contract, the full editing and uploading process will be completed within four weeks. Once finished, I’ll send you a password-protected download link to view your gallery. You can share this with family members and order prints, or whatever else you’d like to do with them!

WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO
I have always enjoyed a wedding - who doesn't? The chit-chat amongst family and friends, the excuse to get dressed up, the excitement leading up to the day and of course, the most important part - watching two people make a commitment to one another.
​
Being a part of someone's wedding day is such a special job for me. One chance to get that shot, memories forever. I love what I do because I get to capture those moments and it always feels like such an honour to be chosen to do that for each and every one of my couples.
