Our relaxed, documentary approach is about capturing the stories, moments + magic as it happens.
We’ve been a part of over 400 weddings since 2005 and The Wedding Industry Awards named us as one of the best wedding photographers and videographers in the UK.
But as nice as they are, we don’t do this for awards, we do this because we genuinely adore being a part of the stories of people in love and capturing the magic of wedding days.
If our style sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you!
“I can’t imagine anyone you’d rather have documenting one of the most important days of your life.”

Relaxed + Real
We document your day as it happens, but even when things need a bit more structure - your couple photos or the group photos for example - we still keep things relaxed and stress-free.
It's about capturing things as they happen - not standing in a line for hours saying cheese.
It's about keeping things flowing - not taking you away from your guests for hours making portraits.
We love making portraits, but we fit them in when they make sense to the day, not when your mum is desperate to give you a hug or your school friends want to give you a high five.
It's about you having an amazing time, while we capture it beautifully.
You can have us for photography, videography - or both.
A film is a great addition to your photos, and equally stunning on it's own.
Shot in the same relaxed way as our photos, films let you relive your wedding day - plus catch the bits you missed.
By hiring us for both photo and video, you both cut the down the hassle of having separate suppliers - plus we work together seamlessly - further reducing the wedding day stress.
We're experienced working at the best Sussex Wedding Venues and we cover the entire country, so wherever your day is happen - we'd love to be a part of it.
Essentially, you do your thing - have an amazing day - and we'll capture it.
Because we're documentary wedding photographers, we don't stage moments or get you to hold awkward poses - we'll help your day to have a natural flow and for you to enjoy it without any interruptions.
Of course, if it's important to you - we're happy to do some formal groups and a couple of gorgeous portraits, but predominantly we'll cover your day with a relaxed, documentary approach.
Since the very first wedding we covered in 2005, we've always worked hard to keep the focus on the couple enjoying their day, while we collect those moments and magic expressions that tell the story.
We're also very pleased that we've received international recognition for our Photojournalistic, Documentary approach from the hugely respected WPJA.
and feel very lucky to have had you be a part of it."
