Ahhh it feels like we are turning the corner into spring...
Longer days, lighter evenings and a calendar full of “we should probably get photos of this” moments
Proms ✔️
Weddings ✔️
Birthdays ✔️
Events✔️

If you’ve got something coming up and want it captured properly (and affordably), I’m your guy.

Strike a pose - or don’t. However your family shows up, I’m here to capture it, relaxed and stress-free.

A few days to Valentine’s… and when was the last time you actually got in a photo with your other half?

Whether it’s just you two, the kids, or the dog too, let’s make it easy. No posing, no stress just laughs, a little chaos, and memories that actually look like you.

We’ll pick a day with weather that works (and we aren't in need of an ark!), and you just turn up and enjoy it.

Let’s be honest - between school runs, general parenting, and bedtime chaos, photos of you actually in the shot are rare. Valentine’s is your reminder to grab one. Couples, families, all of you - let’s make it relaxed, real, and full of laughs.

And don’t worry about the weather, we’ll pick the perfect day that actually looks good in photos.

Message me for more details :-)

This kind of feedback never gets old.

Lisa & Dave wanted an intimate, no-fuss wedding and photos that felt natural, not staged.
If you’re planning a wedding and don’t love the idea of being “photographed” all day,
I might be a good fit.

Before we get too close to 2026… a quick thank you to everyone who’s supported my little photography business this year. It genuinely means a lot.

I’m taking bookings for family shoots, branding / social content, events and weddings and I’m always happy to work around different budgets and ideas.

If something’s coming up next year, just shout.

Merry Christmas everyone
Ben

If you’re planning something soon, I’ve got options for most budgets and would love to help you capture it.

Here’s a little look at some of the weddings, events and family moments I’ve shot recently.

A lovely little family shoot to round off the autumn 🍂
Now that the trees are bare and the party season’s rolling in, I’m switching gears — shooting more events, weddings and celebrations.

If you’ve got something special coming up and want relaxed, natural photos (with prices to match your budget), drop me a message.

Such a lovely family shoot from last weekend!
Autumn’s slipping away fast, but there’s still time to capture it while it lasts, DM me for details.
