The investment
Every collection is the same photographer, the same eye and the same hand-editing – the only variable is how much of your story there is to tell. All prices in GBP, contracts in plain English.

Portrait sessions
Families, couples, newborns, grandparents over for the summer – portrait sessions work exactly like the weddings do. I turn up, we put the kettle on, and I photograph what actually happens. The wellies-and-porridge school of family photography.
Sessions run on weekday evenings and Sunday mornings, at your home, your park, or both – anywhere inside the M25 with no travel cost. Between November and February I take a small number of sessions in Hyderabad.
If you’re not sure whether your flat has enough light or your toddler will cooperate: it does, and they don’t need to. That’s rather the point.
Families, couples and newborns – photographed where life happens.
£320ninety minutes
Every booking
Whichever collection you choose, these come as standard. No add-on menus, no small print.
Forty-five minutes on the phone the month before, walking through your day hour by hour. I arrive knowing who matters.
We agree the family group photos in advance and shoot them in twenty minutes. The rest of the day is yours.
Two camera bodies, duplicate cards writing in-camera, and your photographs in three separate places by the next morning.
Forty finished photographs while the confetti is still in your hair – ready for the family group chat.
Share it with family anywhere in the world. Everyone can download, favourite and order prints themselves.
High-resolution files and the right to print them anywhere, forever. Your photographs belong to you.
No batch filters, no skipped frames. Each delivered photograph is edited individually, the same way, by me.
Included in every collection. Further afield – including Hyderabad and anywhere in India – is charged at cost, never marked up.
Two cities
The year splits in two, and the diary follows it. Wherever your wedding is, travel is charged at cost – receipts available, nothing marked up.
Weddings and portraits inside the M25 carry no travel cost at all. Anywhere else in the UK is charged at cost – train fare or mileage, plus one night’s accommodation if your venue is more than two hours out.
Everything is costed into your quote up front. There is no such thing as a surprise line item.
I winter in Hyderabad every year, so Indian wedding season is home ground: no destination fee, and no flights to reimburse for Hyderabad dates. Weddings elsewhere in India add internal travel at cost.
If your muhurtham is at 2am in a function hall on the Old Bombay Highway, I’ll be the calm one in the corner with two cameras.
Booking terms
Plain English, and all of it in the contract you sign. If anything here raises a question, ask it before you pay anything.
Start here
Send it through and I’ll confirm within one working day whether it’s free. If it is, we book a call – twenty minutes, no slides, no hard sell.
