My Style
My style is a mix of natural & artistic. I’m always trying to find beautiful light. I’ve always got my eye out for the moments that make your day or the little details that you so lovingly put into your wedding.
When it comes to editing, my style is massively influenced by 35mm film stocks. The grain and texture of the image, for me, is so important.
Life isn’t clean and sharp – it’s a bit rough around the edges and I adore that.
You know that sense of nostalgia you get looking over an old photo album of your parents?
That feeling is what I love, and it’s what I’m aiming for with each photograph I take.
The Approach
I am looking to tell the day as a story using images. I want someone to feel exactly what the day felt like, even if they weren’t there.
During portraits, if you want them, I will make subtle suggestions if it helps. I get it. Being ‘posed’ is shit, right? But leaving you to look wooden and terrified looks worse, so only if you really don’t feel totally loosened up by the time portraits come around, I’ll just give small pointers, so you look a bit more at ease.
Basically, I don’t want you to have shit photos or be anxious about it. That’s the gist.
Pricing
I keep this beautifully simple. I’m there to tell the story of the day so I start a couple of hours before the ceremony and I’m there well into the party. How else could I tell the story if I go home after one dance, right?
You get a stack of beautiful images, edited by myself, placed into an online gallery where they’re yours to view, download and share. You have full print rights. I also include a slideshow that really tugs at the heartstrings.
All of that is £1600. Taken as £300 deposit and £1300 one calendar month before your big date.
I’m more than happy to offer reduced coverage if you need it. Just ping me an email and let’s hash out the details.
“Absolutely amazing photos! Really went all out on the day. Rod just blended in. To the point, we didn’t even notice Rod taking photos. We are so happy with the photos! A real artist at work. Thank you so much, Rod”

FAQs
Do You Travel?
Yeah, absolutely. I don’t charge mileage. I may need accommodation depending on how far away you guys are from my home in the New Forest.
Can We Get An Engagement Shoot?
Yeah, if it’s something you’re interested in, just let me know and we’ll sort one out!
How Soon Do We Get Our Images
I always aim to deliver them within 6-12 weeks depending on how much workload I have on. If I’m shooting a ton of weddings in a block, then it pushes the delivery window.
One thing I will say for certain, however, is that I never rush them to meet a deadline. It’s a guide rather than a ‘Your pizza is free if delivery takes more than 20 minutes’.
Do You Use AI at all?
It works for some folks but not for me. Every single image is picked and edited by me. Every word you read is written by me. AI has a place but it isn’t within my business.
