I've have had 15 glorious years photographing mainly in and around London and the home counties. I'm Time Out Recommended, and winner of the Hitched Wedding Awards 2022 to 2026 and also the 2025's Wedissimo Wedding Awards among others. First and foremost I really listen to what it is that couples are looking for, what they value, and I aim to reflect that. I was a fashion and advertising photographer for name brands previously, so I'm used to adapting to a brief and I love a challenge! I'm very easy with people and inherently friendly. I shoot natural candid images, as well as epic if that's your thing. I only use top of the range cameras and lenses for the best possible image quality on your once only day. We also have a full day package on here with myself and Joanna (my wife) as second shooter. If you want to have that one instead then you can either add her here, or choose the full day David and Joanna package. You can also add Rory for quality full day cinematic video coverage, and epic 4K highlight reels, working alongside me if that's an option you value. Some of his video reels are featured here on the listing. I also have tons of Google reviews you can check out too, nearly a 100 if you scroll down. I/we look forward to hearing your plans, and happily answering any and all of your questions :-) David

This collection is ideal for full-day weddings, covering everything from the morning preparations through to approximately half an hour after the first dance — ensuring the key moments and atmosphere of your celebration are beautifully documented.

Prior to the wedding, we’ll have a pre-wedding consultation to discuss your plans, timeline and priorities. Around one month before your wedding, I will also send you a detailed questionnaire to gather final information, important moments, family groupings and any specific requests, so nothing meaningful is overlooked.

On the day itself, I will personally photograph your wedding for up to 10 hours, working in a calm and unobtrusive manner to capture natural moments, genuine emotions and the finer details as they unfold.

Complimentary drone photography is included where weather conditions, venue and location permissions allow, offering a beautiful aerial perspective of your venue and surroundings.

After the wedding, I carefully edit and refine at least 500 images in my signature style. Your photographs will be delivered via a private online gallery for easy viewing and sharing.

I photograph weddings with discretion, intention and a refined eye for detail. From intimate ceremonies to vibrant multi-day celebrations, I understand the rhythm and emotion behind each moment. Couples value my calm presence, gentle guidance and ability to create images that feel effortless yet elevated — a collection that reflects your day beautifully and authentically.

If everything feels like the right fit, you are warmly invited to schedule a video call by clicking the 'Book a call' button at the top of this page. I look forward to hearing about your plans.

A two hour+ wedding photography plan that covers the exciting essentials of an amazing day, coverage includes ceremony and formal and contemporary informal images at the ceremony location.
Carefully optimised images are placed in a password protected Swiss gallery for you family and friends to download directly from our website.

I'm an multi award winning wedding photographer (L.M.P.A, L.B.I.P.P, L.S.W.P.P, L.R.P.S, 7 further awards from Master Photographers Association, Qualified with Elite wedding photographers and recognised as one one the top 100 photographers in the United Kingdom).  When you book me you are investing in a professional who genuinely cares and is passionate about your day.

I want to give my clients something excitingly creative and absorbing, photography is the one lasting thing that you will have and continue to enjoy for the long term future.
For the most part I am in the background telling the story of the day through the lens, at times to get the best for my clients I might suggest certain things which to enhance the image, formal family shots or couple shots.

I used to be a commercial fashion and advertising photographer up until the early 90's but decided to plough headlong into wedding capture, in truth I wanted to make a difference. Wedding photography at that time was super formal and static. It didn't show personality just endless groups of people and lots of soft focus!
Due to my background in editorial magazines, my style from the beginning was free flowing, informal and fresh, in direct contrast to my competitors at the time.
Today I really work to achieve the very best story telling images for my clients, I want them to have something exciting, special and often unique and creatively different to enjoy.
Photography style constantly reinvents its self, it's important that clients enjoy the best lifestyle imagery.

In a career of 40 or so years I have shot well over 1000 weddings now, so many locations and now spread over four countries, attended ceremonies from the Ritz to the Savoy, beautiful castles from Leeds to Hever and stunning hotels
from Eastwell Manor to London's Claridges.

I'm truly passionate about my work and the style and ideas that go into each image that I take. I'm relaxed, approachable and patient with a certain amount of humour : ) (important qualities if you want to get the best out of people)

At the end of the day your wedding is all about you. Your family, friends and relatives are there to celebrate with you. Be your true self with your quirky personality. Do things that make you happy, I will be there to record those moments and so much more in abundance.

“Adam is a confident and relaxed photographer, making us feel at ease from the moment we met him. He was very discreet throughout our wedding day and got some fantastic candid shots of the guests. He made everyone feel comfortable having their photos taken, and made the portraits run very smoothly and to time. We had every confidence in him, and the photo results prove that he knows exactly what he is doing! We would highly recommend Adam to everyone we know. Thank you ever so much for capturing our special day for us.”
Louise & James

“We would just like to thank dearly Adam for being our wedding photographer for our special day. 
Our wedding was set in a garden marquee in August with perfect weather.
From the start, Adam was greatly enthusiastic with his contact and his portfolio amazed us ! We felt he could capture the memorable moments that we would look back on in the years to come.
Even prior to the wedding, we were able to make changes to the arrangements which meant a lot to us and his suggestions were very helpful with planning the right shots for us.
All our guests were very happy on the day with the style of photography and he made everyone feel comfortable. 
Adam even managed to get the most reluctant of our wedding guests to smile for the camera (including my uncle !)
All in all, it was an pleasure to work with such a great professional and we look forward to using his services again in the near future.”
Emma & Rob

“Adam is a lovely guy, and an incredible photographer. On our wedding day, he captured all the great moments by always being in the right place at the right time. In the group photos he was efficient in arranging and placing everyone, and in the bride and groom shots, he captured all the special moments between us. After the wedding, he was very quick to get back to us with the pictures, which are stunning! Thank you, Adam!”
Aiysha & Robin

“When it came to booking a photographer for our countryside wedding, we wanted someone who would capture the relaxed, unique theme, but also produce the wonderful wedding shots that we secretly love! Adam was our standout favourite after looking trough his portfolio, and we could not have asked for a more perfect photographer on the day of the wedding. He was alert to every tiny nuance on the day, pouncing on the perfect shots, bending over backwards to meet our last minute requests and helping make our day last a lifetime. We can’t thank Adam enough for the wonderful photos, and would recommend him to anyone! (Book him right now!!)”
Sara & Kris

“Having Adam doing our Wedding photos was great, not only because his pictures are so beautiful but because he has such a non intrusive presence. He captures the best candid moments and takes great group shots. All my friends and family got on really well with him. It was a pleasure to have him at our wedding.”
Deanna & Paul

“Adam is a fantastic photographer and we both felt totally at ease with his friendly, relaxed and professional style. The wedding photos we received were were excellent and he caught lots of beautiful and magical moments. He gave us a lovely mixture of candid moments and the more traditional posed photos, which was exactly what we were looking for. We would highly recommend Adam!”
Rachel & Andy

“We approached Adam to be the photographer for our wedding, who is very friendly and easy going. Adam took a wide range of photos on the day without being intrusive but captured the events of the day brilliantly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adam or use his services again at a future date.”
Heather & Rhys

“Adam was our wedding photographer back in August.
I chose Adam as he had a great portfolio and I really liked the unobtrusive style. I knew that I didn’t want the wedding photos to take up a huge part of our day.
Adam really took on my preferences and kept the photos after the vows short and sweet. I loved the way he was snapping all our guests even before I arrived. He really did capture the most lovely natural images of our friends and family.
After our wedding breakfast Adam found a lovely spot just opposite our venue so he could capture a few more shots. I loved the way he really looked into the surrounding area to see where we could get the nicest snaps.
All my guests were very complimentary toward Adam and loved his friendly nature. He really felt like one of our guests by the end of the day!
As you can imagine I was delighted with the images which we received about 10 days after the wedding (super quick)
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adam and am happy to be contacted to give any further feedback. Adam was an amazing find.
Thank you Adam!”
