Once you’ve booked your venue and circled the date on the calendar, the next big step is finding your wedding photographer. It’s a careful decision – these are the photos you’ll look back on for years to come.

But where do you start? With so many wedding photographers across Hertfordshire, London, and beyond, it can feel a little overwhelming. Here are a few things couples usually look for when they begin their search.
Wedding Photography Style That Feels Right for You
Every photographer has their own way of telling a story. Some are more traditional and posed, others very editorial. My approach is relaxed and documentary-led – capturing genuine moments and emotions as they happen, without forcing anything.

First Impressions When Searching for a Wedding Photographer
Most couples start with a website or Instagram feed. Does it feel clear and welcoming? Do the photos feel consistent? Can you get a sense of the photographer behind the lens?
The party begins!
I keep my website simple and honest, so you can quickly get a feel for how I work, the weddings I’ve captured across Hertfordshire and London, and what it’s like to have me around on the day.
Clear and Transparent Wedding Photography Pricing
Budget is always a factor. Even if you’re not sure exactly what package you’ll need, it helps to know roughly where things start. That’s why I share clear package options – so you can see what’s included and find what works best for your plans.
Reviews and Recommendations for Hertfordshire Wedding Photographers
Word of mouth is a big part of how couples find me – whether through venues here in Herts, friends who’ve booked me before, or YouTube and Google reviews. Hearing from real couples about their experiences is so valuable.

Feeling Comfortable With Your Wedding Photographer
You’ll spend a lot of time with your photographer – from those morning nerves through to the last dance. Feeling comfortable is so important. I always like to have a chat beforehand, answer your questions, and get to know you a little.
That way, when the wedding day comes around – whether it’s at a barn in Hertfordshire, a London townhouse, or a destination wedding further afield – it feels natural and easy.

Wedding Photography Experience You Can Rely On
Weddings don’t always go to plan – and that’s part of their charm. Maybe the weather takes a turn, maybe timings shift. Whatever happens, you want someone calm, experienced, and ready to adapt.
Having photographed weddings across Hertfordshire, London, and overseas, I’m experienced and will always keep the focus on you and your story.
