Shot by Rutley

We’ve been a little bit busy…

Shot by Rutley officially has its own space & Rexis Collective is now live!

The first quarter of 2026 has been full-on in the best of ways as we got approved for our own studio space. This is an incredibly exciting milestone to have reached & since the day we got the keys, it’s been a mix of DIY, shoots, day jobs, late nights & parenting 2 (wild) girls all while shaping a space that truly reflects who we are. We’re now based out of Banks Mill Studios in the heart of Derby, surrounded by an inspiring community of talented creatives & we’re genuinely thrilled to be part of it.

Shot by Rutley began as a wedding business & we’re super grateful that it’s really beginning to thrive. Enquiries continue to grow, our calendar is filling fast & the weddings ahead are set to be pretty bloody incredible. Our couples really know how to celebrate.

Introducing Rexis Collective ⬇️
Many of you might not know that we shoot commercially; think products, events, live performances, band promo, models & everything in between. If you need a strong visual identity, that’s where we come in. For those who’d rather spend less time battling social media & more time doing what they love, we offer support & full management. To streamline our workflow (enquiries, marketing, etc.) Rexis was created. A mash-up of our daughter’s names because that’s ultimately who we do this for!

One more thing… Our studio is officially open for hire! We’ve got a range of backdrops, props, lighting & a cosy corner ideal for podcasts or content creation. It’s ready for whatever you want to bring to life.

See you at Studio 3.3 🤟🏻

All our best, Rob & Amy 🖤

Rebel energy, loud love ⚡️

I’m the photographer for couples who colour outside the lines & say a big FU to beige or crushed velvet. Sound like you? I’d love to hear from you 🤟🏻

Of course Penny Lane Nottingham was on the cards for this engagement session. More bright lights, playful rivalry & a cheeky kiss to round it off ✌🏻

Planning a wedding completely out of the ordinary? tildeath_altweddingcol’s dark wedding directory has you covered ❤️‍🔥

Chasing connection over perfection? Breaking rules? Bending traditions? Allow me to introduce myself & my work ➡️

If you’re planning a day that doesn’t look like a typical wedding, I’m already in! There’s one thing I can’t get enough of & that’s unconventional ways of celebrating love. I’ll climb fences, run through the rain or hype up the party - whatever you need so the story I capture is YOURS. Raw, loud, unapologetically real.

Hit me up before your mom books a traditional photographer… 👀

Do you love Disney but in a dark, alt way more than a girly fairytale way? Then you’re going to love this gothic-meets–Beauty and the Beast inspired wedding shoot. Although it wasn’t a real wedding, there are so many creative ideas you could steal for your own. Think: moody candlelight, corset...

Banner Department nailed it with this! 100% recommend 🙌🏻

THIS is why we love doing what we do!

- thanks so much for the kind words.

“Absolutely smashed it! From the initial contact to the final product, I cannot fault these guys for what they do at all - their attention to detail, quality and communication were spot on. I’ve already had so many compliments on the banner from clients and potential clients. I’m so chuffed with it and will be proud to show it off wherever I take it. Thank you so much for bringing my idea to life!”

Hey, you found me! 👋🏻

It’s been a hot minute since I last showed my face on the grid, so here’s a little re-intro for anyone new (or anyone just curious about the bloke behind the camera).

This year’s been wild: weddings, life and soaking up time with my girls whenever I can. I’ve been immersed in so many epic love stories that social media took a bit of a back seat but I ain’t mad about it.

Who TF am I then?

❤️‍🔥 I’m Rob - partner, dad to two beautiful (feral) girls & the human behind Shot by Rutley.
❤️‍🔥 Alt guy rocking the dad car, loud playlists & with a soft spot for all things untraditional.
❤️‍🔥 Big nerd energy: Fallout, Bioshock, DC over Marvel (don’t @ me), Pokémon & Dragon Ball forever.
❤️‍🔥 Collector of Pokémon cards (obviously) & vinyl because the nostalgia is real.
❤️‍🔥 00s metal & emo are the soundtrack of my life so if it’s not Alexisonfire, I don’t want it.
❤️‍🔥 Introvert at heart but love chatting with people who are on the same wavelength.

If you’re after a wedding photographer who doesn’t do boring, staged or stiff then you’re in the right place. I’m all about capturing the real stuff - the chaos, the belly laughs & the in-between moments that actually matter.

Sound like your vibe? Slide into my DMs & let’s make some magic.

📸 Huge shoutout to & Rise again photography UK for these images.
