A private Pic-Time gallery
Delivered through Pic-Time, full resolution and downloadable, yours to keep and share. Edited as a narrative rather than dumped as a folder of near-identical frames.
Collection one of three
For the day that doesn't need ten hours to be complete.
Some weddings are deliberately short. A ceremony, a long lunch, everyone home before dark. The Prologue covers that day properly rather than treating it as a lesser version of a bigger one.
From £2,000 · Up to 6 hours
Full gallery via Pic-Time
UK-wide travel included.

Not sure which collection fits? That is genuinely what the first conversation is for. Tell me the shape of your day and I will tell you which one makes sense, including if it is a cheaper one.
What you get
Included in every collectionFrames shot on 35mm film
A selection of your day shot on actual film alongside the digital. Analogue texture and warmth that digital cannot replicate. Not an add-on and not an upsell, it is simply part of how I work.
The planning, not just the day
A proper conversation before you book, a timeline built together, and someone at the end of an email in the months between. The day itself is the last part of the job, not the whole of it.
Travel across the UK
Included. Based in the North East, shooting right across Northumberland, Yorkshire and Cumbria, and travelling further whenever the day calls for it.
Up to 6 hours of photo coverage
Plenty of time for some morning prep, ceremonies and then speeches. Or however else you wish to use that time.
300+ hand-edited photos
Carefully selected and edited images that hold the essence of your day. Black and white frames delivered as part of your gallery and used intentionally for emotional effect.
The way I shoot
Every day gets divided three ways.
20
Safe
The anchors. Family groups, the hug after the aisle, the traditions that matter to your people. Calm hands, quiet voice, nothing missed.
60
Real
The heart of it, as it unfolds. Light on skin, layered rooms, gestures that say more than the speeches did. Told the way it happened through elevated documentary.
20
Bold
Where instinct takes over. Following the light, leaning into movement, slipping outside after dark. The frames you come back to.
If your day runs past the meal and into a proper evening, this is the wrong collection and I will tell you so rather than sell it to you. The Narrative exists for that.
Common questions
The PrologueWhat does The Prologue cost?
From £2,000 for up to six hours of coverage. The final number depends on your date and venue, so tell me about your day and I’ll send an exact figure alongside an honest answer about whether this is the right collection for you.
Can I move between collections after booking?
Yes. Plans change and days grow. If you book one collection and later want more or less coverage, we adjust it. [CONFIRM — any cut-off date or conditions?]
How and when do we get the photographs?
A preview set lands within days while it still feels like last week. The full gallery follows via Pic-Time within 8 weeks of the big day!
How do we secure our date?
A twenty per cent deposit and a signed contract. After that the date is yours and you can go back to enjoying being engaged.
Do you travel?
Travel within the UK, if further that 2-hours from North Tyneside, is priced accordingly. For anything within that radius, price is inclusive. For weddings further afield, tell me where and I will put a number together. Long drives and questionable weather are a feature rather than a problem.
