Discovery Photography

North Yorkshire Wedding and Portrait Photographer

It all started when I was just 6, I had my first camera. My father and I would head to the loft, our make-shift darkroom, to develop our prints. I remember hanging them out to dry over the bath, struggling to contain my excitement at what images would appear. These days, photography has become my passion, my profession, and my life. It's now my full-time profession - I'm a documentary wedding and portrait photographer. Having run photography workshops for many years, I've helped set up a lot of local photographers and passed my passion and enthusiasm for capturing life on to them.

Based in North Yorkshire, I'm spoilt for locations for wedding photography. Some of my favourite wedding venues are Grinkle Park Hotel, Rushpool Hall, Gisborough Hall, and Danby Castle, all of which offer different experiences and backdrops, all of which I've worked at for years. "I do what I do for the smiles and the light and occasionally a tear, I bring to people's faces with my photographs." I'm passionate about capturing in the moment photography. The raw, natural, simplicity captures my imagination and unlike many other styles of photography, it's timeless. I don't like posing people; it's unnatural. I look for the connection between a family, a couple, or wedding guests and that's the emotion I capture.
