The method

How a shoot unfolds

The same four steps for a wedding or a workshop, with the delays stated out loud, because waiting without a date is the worst part.

01before the day

Scouting & brief

We talk intentions, places and light. For weddings I walk the venue beforehand, so nothing about the day surprises me.

02on the day

The shoot

I work close and quiet, no shot lists barked across the room, no stiff line-ups unless you actually want one.

032 to 5 weeks

The edit

Culling, colour and a darkroom-grade pass on every kept frame. No trend filters that will embarrass you in ten years.

0448 h sneak peek

The delivery

A private online gallery, high-resolution files and print rights, with the first photos long before the full set.

Behind the camera

A photographer, not a photo booth

My style leans documentary: real light, real gestures, the second before and the second after the obvious photo. I direct only when a portrait needs it, and even then it sounds like small talk, not choreography.

I scout every place before I shoot it, I arrive early, and I stay until the story is over, the best frame of a wedding is rarely on the schedule.

In the bag

  • Two full-frame bodies, one always on the strap
  • Fast primes for rooms lit by candles
  • Every frame written to two cards at once
  • Backups uploaded the same night

What clients say

After the gallery arrives

Example reviews, replace them with real ones once you have permission to publish.

We forgot the camera was even there. Then the gallery arrived and we cried all over again.
Example review — wedding client · Full wedding day, replace with a real name once you have permission
I hate having my photo taken, and somehow these are the first ones I actually like.
Example review — portrait client · Signature portrait session, replace with a real name once you have permission
Fifteen people, one afternoon, and every headshot finally looks like it belongs on the same page.
Example review — business client · Headshots for teams, replace with a real name once you have permission

Book your date

Tell me the date and the story. I answer within 24 hours, and I never double-book a Saturday.
