Your Trusted London Wedding Photographer & Videographer
As a seasoned wedding photographer and videographer in London, I specialise in capturing the unique spirit of each couples special day. My approach is focused on creating timeless and elegant images, with an emphasis on natural moments and genuine emotions. I believe that the most beautiful photographs are often the simplest ones, and I strive to provide couples with a collection that tells the story of their wedding in a way that is both authentic and refined. Each wedding is a new adventure, and I approach every celebration with the utmost professionalism and creativity.My style blends the nostalgic appeal of film photography with the timeless elegance of black and white imagery. I aim to create a balanced collection of photographs that combine relaxed documentary-style shots with portraits that exude style and sophistication. Additionally, my wedding films are crafted with the same care and attention to detail, capturing the essence of your day in a way that complements the photographs perfectly. I offer both photography and videography packages, allowing couples to choose the ideal combination for their needs.

We couldnt be happier with our experience with Chris as our wedding photographer. From start to finish he made us feel calm and at ease. We went for photos around Cambridge and he worked with such patience to get the perfect shots. The photos came out great, even on a misty day, they came out clear and beautifully captured. He has a great eye for detail and really brought out the atmosphere of the day. Thank you Chris, for helping make our day feel extra special, the whole experience was enjoyable and we cant recommend you enough!

There are no words to adequately articulate how incredible Chris is not only as a very talented photographer and videographer but also as a kind, welcoming, and warm human being. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Chris for both our engagement photography session in London and our dream wedding in Sweden. He perfectly captured the magic of both days, and we are so grateful to have these photographs and videos to cherish for a lifetime. Thank you, Chris! We couldn't have asked for anything more.

Chris photographed and videoed our wedding and we couldn't be happier with his work. Chris was thorough and responsive to our needs in the build-up and during the day he was a warm, positive presence around our guests. The outputs are stunning, covering candid moments and emotions as well as the natural scenery around the venue. There were several instances where Chris went further than he needed to: kindly offering to portrait our wedding celebrant, checking with musicians that they were happy to be recorded, sharing preview pictures to enjoy the day after the wedding. These are reflections of Chris' kind and genuine nature.

I hired Chris for my proposal whilst punting in Cambridge. He was excellent from the start, with great communication, very quick replies and excellent pointers to improve the experience (such as timing of sunset, where best to propose etc). On the day Chris arrived early and communicated with the tour guides. With all the nerves, Chris made everything else so easy.

Chris was a wonderful recommendation for us! I can see why he was recommended!
Chris made the whole process from initial zoom meeting to post wedding day seamless & therefore this often takes the stress out of what can be an overwhelming time! He took time to understand exactly what we were after & in the final videos this definitely proved worthwhile. They were stunning, almost like a movie trailer, although executed in the most elegant way to appreciate the surroundings of our venue. We will always appreciate what Chris managed to achieve with our videos & that is some wonderful memories that we will cherish forever.

Chris is a fantastic wedding photographer - he was extremely kind, patient and responsive in the leading up to our wedding, which took place in March 2024 in Cambridge. On the day, he was a wonderful chilled and attentive presence, capturing the essence of the day in stunning natural shots, with just the right amount of kind guidance for group photos. We were blown away by his pictures - he captured the joy, sunshine and love of the day so perfectly, and we know we'll cherish those photos for years and decades to come. Thank you a million times Chris!

Chris and his team were fantastic at our wedding in May. We couldnt have asked for anything more. The pictures and film were beautiful! Whats more we had preview pics within a few days, and the full photo album ready in 2 weeks with the videos shortly after. We would recommend Chris and his team 100%. They helped make our day very special.

Chris photo/video-graphed at our wedding just outside Cambridge in July 2022. He and his team were absolutely superb. On the day, he struck an excellent balance between not being too obtrusive but also not afraid to provide direction where he thought it would get the best results. We love the end product - the photos are excellent, and videos absolutely fantastic, shot from a number of different angles and skillfully edited.
Our highlights video is something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We decided at the last minute to also have the videographer, and it was the best money we spent on our wedding. I cannot recommend doing that highly enough, and we also have nothing but the highest praise for Chris.

Chris was an absolute joy to work with not only on our wedding day, but also leading up to the event! Chris showed flexibility and patience and his go with the flow attitude, meant the day still seemed to run smoothly even when things were not going to plan (missing groom for a wee bit eek). It meant that my wife and I had one less thing to stress and worry about on the day. Chris' interactions with our guests were courteous and friendly, and as a result the pictures turned out amazing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris to anyone who needs a friendly, professional and talented photographer for their event, at reasonable prices.

Chris was absolutely fantastic on and during the lead up to our wedding day. He has a natural eye for photography and captured all the best moments beautifully. Chris has a really relaxed demeanour and is highly professional and incredibly easy to work with the kind of person you would want on your wedding day. We cannot recommend Chris highly enough. We are writing our very first review because he is that good!

Absolutely cannot recommend Chris enough! He photographed our wedding in August, and we have so many beautiful photos. He was a very chilled presence during the day, just capturing moments and stayed well into the dancing for some wonderful party shots! Tons of fun, natural shots with a mix of classic family shots too. We looked at several photographers, and just loved Chris' portfolio. The results from the day were even better than we could have hoped for! Highly, highly recommend!!!

We honestly could not have asked for more from a photographer than Chris delivered. He cared deeply about our enjoyment and memories of our wedding day - from going the extra mile to get the perfect shot, to pleasantly and pragmatically negotiating the photography rules at our particularly Covid-strict venue. The quality of the final product was great, and were ecstatic with the blown up versions weve now had wall-mounted.

Chris was a delight from start to finish. The pre-wedding planning was an easy stress-free process. On the day he was brilliant at grabbing the wonderful candid moments that really make the event, without feeling invasive or intrusive on any of the moments. The photos are all stunning and he got them back to us so quickly. Couldn't be happier. The hardest part of the whole process is now picking which one of the many gorgeous shots we want to hang up in our house. Too many to choose from!

I chose Chris to be our wedding photographer because we absolutely loved the photos on his website - his relaxed, informal style and gorgeous compositions were exactly the sort of thing we wanted for our wedding day. I was even happier when we met him in person, because he seemed to really understand our requirements and was a thoroughly nice chap into the bargain! He did a brilliant job on the day and perfectly captured the jolly, sparkly atmosphere of our wedding.
All our guests were totally impressed with both the fantastic photographs and also with Chris himself - he blended in perfectly and was never obtrusive, and he had a really nice way with everyone and made them feel comfortable in front of the camera. We were delighted with our photographs, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a fantastic photographer for their special day!
