About & Approach

Hi, and thanks for taking an interest in what we do. Choosing a wedding photographer isn’t just about how the photographs look; it’s about how it feels to have someone there with you on the day. We believe the best moments happen when people feel relaxed, unhurried and free to be themselves — and that belief shapes how we photograph every wedding.

We work hard at what we do, and while our attention to detail may border on obsessive at times, we certainly don’t take ourselves especially seriously. We value simple things: hiking up hills, walks in the woods, good music, good films, good beer and good food. We tend to count our blessings in experiences rather than possessions.

Travel has been an important part of our lives together. We spent our honeymoon in the deserts of Jordan and have been fortunate to visit many other incredible places since — including Norway, Cuba, Egypt and the Greek islands. Closer to home, we’re drawn to the quirkiness of Whitby, the quietness of Northumberland and the breathtaking drama of the Scottish Highlands.  Those experiences — slowing down, noticing details, being comfortable in quieter moments — shape how we approach photographing weddings too.

Let’s talk values

Wholesome, honest and good for the soul.  Our approach to photographing your wedding.

We’ve been doing this a long time and have stayed in business through all the ups and downs that life can throw at you. Over the years our style has naturally refined, but the fundamental way we approach photographing weddings has remained the same.

We take an unforced approach, rooted in observation rather than direction. We don’t believe in manufacturing moments or asking you to perform for the camera. Instead, we pay close attention to what’s happening and respond to it as it unfolds.

Although the physical details of a wedding are important, what stays with people long after the day itself are the relationships and interactions between those involved. Our work is shaped around those moments — anticipation, nerves, the emotion of the ceremony, quiet seconds of reflection, friends catching up, and the energy that builds as the day moves on.

We’re drawn to real, unguarded moments: hugs with your closest friends, guests losing themselves on the dancefloor, and time spent together away from the noise. They don’t need staging or exaggeration — just to be noticed and treated with care.  This way of working allows your wedding to unfold naturally, while still being thoughtfully and carefully documented. If you’re after the latest TikTok trends or heavily choreographed moments, we probably aren’t the right choice for you — and that’s fine.

How we work on the day

Our experience means we’re comfortable giving you space when it matters and stepping in calmly when it helps, without interrupting the flow of your day. For much of the day we melt into the background, working discreetly and with sensitivity to what’s happening around us, allowing the day to unfold naturally while staying alert to moments as they happen.

When it’s needed, we’re happy to step in. Family photographs are organised efficiently and without fuss, and we’ll offer gentle guidance during one or two short ‘couple shoots’.   Our aim is always to support the flow of the day, not interrupt it.

Experience & versatility

We’ve photographed more than 400 weddings over the years, across a wide range of venues and celebrations. From simple elopements and intimate weddings at home, to full-day celebrations in city venues and large country houses, we’re comfortable in a wide range of environments and situations.

That experience means we’re calm and adaptable, whatever the day brings. We understand the rhythm of a wedding day, how plans can change, and when it’s best to step back or quietly help things along. It allows us to work confidently without drawing attention to ourselves — and to focus on what really matters as the day unfolds.

You can book the two of us together or choose to have Robin photograph your wedding on his own. Both options suit different kinds of celebrations, from smaller, more intimate weddings to full-day coverage, and whichever you choose, the approach remains the same: calm, thoughtful and unobtrusive.

Meet Robin

Robin photographs weddings either on his own or alongside Sarah, and is often at the heart of the action on the day.

Endlessly helpful, pragmatic and full of good ideas to help your day run smoothly, Robin’s photography business is his full-time job. A film aficionado, he’ll happily reel off inconsequential facts about almost any film you care to mention — favourites include the work of Stanley Kubrick, and he’s old enough to have seen the original Star Wars on its first showing.

An amateur bass player and unapologetically old-school in his musical tastes, Robin loves Rush, Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Radiohead and a good orchestral film score. He knows absolutely nothing about sport and will meet football chat with a vacant stare.

How Robin Works

With precision timing, Robin loves capturing expressions,  raw emotions and all the things that make a wedding really personal.  You’ll find him with the bride getting ready, at the front of the ceremony, up-close with the confetti and hugs, and in the middle of the action on the dancefloor.  He has a particular love of strong light and framing moments to tell a story.

Meet Sarah

Creative, organised and a brilliant multi-tasker with a fantastic eye, Sarah brings a different energy to the day. Away from weddings she’s a qualified reflexologist — a role that’s a complete contrast to the wedding world and one she’s exceptionally good at.

At 21, Sarah won a sales competition while managing a bakery, with the prize being a brand-new car. She promptly resigned, sold the car and used the money to backpack around Australia and New Zealand for six months — kickstarting a lifelong love of travel, much of it solo.

She likes London Grammar and Ed Sheeran, and — like Robin — knows nothing about sport.

How Sarah Works

So much more than just a ‘second shooter’, Sarah has her own unique ‘eye’ which gels with Robin’s beautifully.  You’ll find her covering the groom getting ready, at the rear of the ceremony, in with the guests and they arrive and taking in the wider view of the day as a whole.  Fantastic with people, Sarah will arrange the group photos and provides superb alternative perspectives and ideas during the couple shoot.
