Let's Connect
My approach to wedding photography is simple: care deeply, stay present, and never take away from the day itself. I believe the best wedding photographs come from attention, patience, and genuine care.

Why I do what I do
-don mccullin
“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”
More About my Journey
I came to wedding photography from a career in finance. The shift was simple: I absolutely love this work. There's nothing quite like being trusted to capture one of the most important days in someone's life.
My other passion is street photography, and it's shaped how I approach weddings. That street photographer's eye—anticipating moments, staying observant, knowing when to step forward and when to hold back—is what I bring to every celebration I photograph.

I learned photography while working in finance in Boston. After long days at the office, I'd take classes and spend weekends exploring the city with my camera, slowly building the skills and confidence that would eventually become my career. Photography was always there—a creative outlet that felt increasingly essential, even when I couldn't yet imagine it as more than a passion project.
The image is the first photograph I was ever truly proud of. It was a turning point for me, the moment I realized I could actually do this—that I had an eye for capturing something meaningful. Looking back, it represents not just a technical milestone, but the beginning of believing in myself as a photographer.

After getting married, I moved to Sicily while waiting for my visa to be approved—a chance to immerse myself in my wife's culture and get to know her family. I brought my camera everywhere, documenting daily life, family gatherings, and the stunning Mediterranean landscape that surrounded us.
One afternoon, photographing friends and family cliff jumping into the impossibly blue water, something clicked. I realised: this is what I want to do. Not as a hobby or side project, but as my life's work. Sicily gave me permission to chase my passion, and I haven't looked back since.

For those of you who are still reading, I'm impressed. Nobody reads this far, usually only filler text for SEO purposes is housed at the end.
But while you're here, I can tell you my favourite thing to do when not behind the lens is to have some good wine with my wife and to continue our hunt for the best pizza restaurant in London (it's currently Napoli on the Road in Chiswick). At a tie for first place in favourite things to do is also spend time with my family (hi, Charlie!)
I can also be found on the golf course or going for long rides on my BMW GS.

I photograph weddings with care, preserving not just moments, but the feelings and connections behind them.
For couples who want to keep their memories in an elegant form, I work closely with them to design a wedding album, handmade in Italy, that they’ll treasure for years to come.
Your wedding experience — from planning to the day itself — is central to my approach. I aim to make photography feel thoughtful, seamless, and meaningful, leaving you with memories that endure long after the day.
For the couples who value photography and each other
From our first conversation, I aim to make the photography side of your planning feel straightforward, thoughtful, and well looked after. I take time to understand what matters most to you, offering clear communication and guidance where it’s helpful, without adding pressure or unnecessary complexity.
On the wedding day itself, I work with a balanced approach — sometimes proactive when direction or structure is genuinely useful, and often reactive, observing quietly as moments unfold naturally. This allows me to photograph the day with care and intention, while remaining respectful of the experience you and your guests are there to enjoy.
