⚡️ For couples who just want the best day ever
🍾 Unobtrusive and happy vibes all day So let’s talk about what I can offer you. But I’d always recommend it!
If you’ve flicked through my portfolio, you might have noticed that I have a very unique style. I’ll always make sure you get those traditional group shots but for the majority of the day, I’ll blend into the background. I’ll document your special day in a way that will have you reliving each moment every time you look through the album. Here’s why I always suggest an all day package. Your wedding
photos should tell the story of your entire day, I couldn’t imagine giving you anything less. Although I do understand that some people don’t want their bridal prep being shot, and that’s fine. I cover England, I’m based in the midlands but I love to travel. We’ve come a long with since the dull days of strictly choreographed wedding photography. Now, couples want art, abstract, reportage… and so they should. It’s your big day.

An actual photo of me on Instagram?!
Life is utter madness at the minute, I’m getting more enquiries than I’ve ever had, thanks to the introduction of wedding films.
I appreciate that this image may break the internet but that’s just something I have to deal with.
So anyway, here I am. I’m Darren, I bloody love weddings, food, decaf coffee (I become unpredictable with caffeine), family time, sarcasm and Dad jokes.
Thanks to the amazing for taking this masterpiece

Yesterday saw this pair of absolutely wonderful people tie the knot. You know your wedding is special when Santa even makes an appearance!
I get the best couple and honestly, this pair, so laidback so genuine and a joy to be around. Really can’t thank them enough for having me along!

I pull a lot of faces when I edit, if people can see in through my office window then they’ll probably think I need urgent care

Our Story
Hey, thanks for stopping by. Feel free to look through my portfolio and check out the packages I offer. You may have noticed that I don’t do the dull, boring cheesy nonsense and I certainly won’t spend the entire day hiding behind a plant pot. This is not to say that I won’t engage ninja mode and capture those unrehearsed natural moments, but it means that I will be well involved when there’s fun to be had. Hell yes, I’m there to get you the best possible images for your big day, but I have an absolute blast at every wedding I do, and it shows in my work. Weddings are my life, there’s nothing quite like it, that’s why I’m a full time wedding photographer, I eat, sleep and breathe weddings.
I shoot up and down our fine land. Being based in Northamptonshire allows me to travel easily. I never turn a wedding down based on it’s location. If I sound like the right fit for your wedding then get in touch
There’s a few traits that I have when shooting a wedding, top of that list is how well I fit in with the wedding. I believe the way that I interact with your guests and how well I judge the feel of the day is the best way to get your pictures.
I’m there to shoot the story of your day, I do love the romance but equally love the party. When necessary I am unobtrusive and dictate as little as possible, some of the best photos come from unrehearsed situations and I feel that emotional content is just as important as camera wizardry. Equally I won’t shy away from getting involved and setting a scene to get the best possible images, like groupshots; they’re a painstaking process if not orchestrated properly, so I’ll usually just ask bride and groom to assume position, draft in the biggest groomsman and get your guests in and out. No faffing, promise.
I’m not the type of photographer who’s happy with what comes out of the camera, every single photo needs some amount of attention, sometimes it’s just a few tweaks, some times it’s about creating something that’s simply not possible through a lens alone.
