Alive. Human. 

Real. Romantic. 

Chris is a candid, moment-driven, wedding and family photographer based in the UK. 

He works across the South-West from The Cotswolds to Cornwall and beyond. 


His style is rooted in natural, documentary details, meets real, romantic moments. 


He captures love stories with cinematic elegance and timeless truth.

“I honestly can’t thank you enough for these beautiful memories. The photos took my breath away and got me so emotional looking at them. I think I’ve looked at our gallery about 100 times since you sent it through!”

Hi, I’m Chris! A multi-award-winning Creative who previously spent 20+ years in the Advertising and Music industries. I have always been drawn to emotive, beautiful, truthful storytelling that comes alive when it’s seen. 

I love observing and capturing people’s full story, especially the little details and the real emotion that slips through when no one’s watching. 

Photography is my way of honouring these fleeting moments: the ones that tell the true story of a moment, a day, a life. 

So I work in a thoughtful and unobtrusive, authentic documentary photography style. Quietly seeing, never interrupting, always celebrating you through the camera lens with energy and elegance.

Photography should be the easiest part of your day. Which is why I capture all that unfolds in a candid, natural, documentary style. So you can live each moment in the present, exactly as it should be. 

“Chris, we honestly can’t thank you enough.You’ve created artwork that will forever hang on our walls.”

The quiet glances, the belly laughs, the tears, the chaos and the calm – I’m here to capture your full story exactly as it unfolds.

I believe in the moments that matter. 

Big, small and all in-between.

Documenting memories to last a lifetime. 

I want you to feel totally comfortable. So I won’t make you do any awkward poses, force a smile or repeat an action. Instead, I’m there to capture all that unfolds with truth and beauty, as it happens. Leading to real, honest, emotive storytelling that’s authentically elegant.
