Hi, I’m David

A little about me

I’m a wedding photographer based in Herefordshire, working across the UK and Europe.

I’ve been photographing weddings for around ten years now, and have been lucky enough to be part of hundreds of them. Each one starts the same way for me — arriving in the morning and watching everything come together — and no two have ever quite unfolded in the same way.

My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive. For most of the day I’ll simply let things happen and photograph them as they do, paying as much attention to the details you’ve chosen, and the thought that’s gone into them, as to the bigger moments.

I usually suggest one or two short portrait sessions, timed so you miss as little of your wedding as possible. Often that’s fifteen or twenty minutes while guests are being called through for the wedding breakfast, and a few more in the evening light — or, if you’d rather do it all at once, a little longer around sunset. It’s all flexible and planned around your day.

Portrait time is often the first time the two of you have been alone together since the ceremony. We’ll take a walk, so you have some time to yourselves and a chance to talk about the day — and I’ll have looked for a few places beforehand, for the light, and for the way they take in the setting you’ve chosen for your wedding. I’m drawn to the romance in it, and to something a little more editorial in the portraits — but the thing I’m really looking for is the connection between the two of you.

I grew up in Tanzania, and spent the first thirty-two years of my life there. Photography started out in the Selous Game Reserve, with wildlife rather than weddings — it was only after moving to the UK and trying my hand at a wedding that I got properly hooked. Home now is Herefordshire, with my wife Sarah and our son Finley. We were married at Broadfield Court.

I’d love to hear what you’re planning.
