I’ve visited almost all wedding venues in the Derbyshire area in my 30+ years as a professional photographer! I’m a preferred supplier at Shottle Hall, Makeney Hall, Morley Hayes, Tissington Hall, Stretton Manor Barn, The Bentley Brook Inn, The West Mill, The River Mill, Breadsall Priory, Eastwood Hall. I’ve also recently made visits to Grangefields, The White Hart at Moorwood Moor, Dunston Hall, The Maynard at Grindeford, and The Folly at the Farmhouse.

We’ll roll with it and have an amazing day! I always suggest checking with your venue about plans for staying inside for photographs, although I know the inside of most Derbyshire wedding venues very well. I’ll have ideas (and lighting if needed) for indoor and outdoor shots for you, but the choice is yours on the day - we can get the brollies out and go adventuring or stay inside and still get great results!

Yes—I’m based in Ripley, but I photograph weddings all across Derby, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and beyond. If you're planning a wedding elsewhere in the UK (or even abroad), just drop me a message.

Travel over 90 minutes from my base would require overnight accommodation, and travel further would require two nights accommodation.

Absolutely. While most of my work is natural and documentary-style, I always make time for the more traditional group shots too. We’ll keep it relaxed and efficient, so you can get back to enjoying the day.

My Derbyshire wedding photography is as unintrusive as possible, but also making sure we get the must-have ‘official’ shots with all the important folks. I don’t take things too seriously, there will be Dad jokes, probably bad puns, I like to have a good time with everybody.
