behind the camera...
Hey folks, I'm Freddie, and I love, love! I’m a wedding photographer with a soft spot for real moments and genuine, documentary storytelling.
I connect with your people, slip into the day like a guest, and photograph the bits you’ll talk about for years. Big belly laughs, tiny squeezes, the beautiful mess of the party. Timeless images that feel like you.
Away from weddings I’m usually outside. Hiking, mountaineering, running, reading, and a cheesy Christmas romcom even in the middle of summer.
what couples get with me...
be present, not posed
90% candid, 10% gentle guidance.
You enjoy the day - I handle the storytelling.
Every photo feels natural, never staged.
Your wedding day is for you to spend with your nearest and dearest. 10-20 minutes of your time is all I need
calm, guest energy
I blend in like an old friend, not hired help.
Reading the room, keeping things light.
A steady hand and a good vibe when you need it.
story over spectacle
It’s not all about perfect poses or Pinterest boards.
It’s about how it felt - real, raw, and unfiltered.
Images that bring you right back to the moment.
the way I shoot
the 20-60-20 rule...
20 - Safe
The anchors of your story. Family groups, the hug after the aisle, the traditions that matter. I work with calm hands and a quiet voice so everyone feels looked after and nothing gets missed.
60 - Creative
The heart of the day as it unfolds. Natural light on skin, layered rooms, fleeting gestures that say more than words. I tell it as it happened, true to the rhythm of your people, never forcing it to fit a mould.
20 - Bold
When instinct takes over. We follow the light, lean into movement, play on the dance floor or slip outside at night. Frames that make time pause and feelings land, the ones you return to again and again.
the result...?
a gallery with heartbeat and headline - your story, told the way it felt & happened.

"All our guests commented on how approachable and talented he is, our photos were everything we wanted and more and something we will treasure forever - couldn’t recommend him enough, we wish we could do it all over again just for the photos!!"
