For over 17 years, I’ve photographed weddings with a people-first approach — focusing on real moments over perfect poses.

My approach is calm and relaxed, allowing you to fully enjoy the day without constant interruption.

The result is a wedding gallery filled with genuine emotion, atmosphere, and moments that feel timeless years later.

From relaxed civil ceremonies to large multicultural weddings, I document every celebration naturally with minimal interruption.

Based in Leicester, I specialise in relaxed documentary wedding photography for couples across Leicester and Leicestershire, with a particular focus on Asian wedding photography and multicultural weddings, including Sikh, Hindu and Tamil celebrations throughout the Midlands and the UK.

My documentary approach allows couples to fully enjoy the day while I focus on capturing genuine moments, emotion, and real connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do you photograph weddings naturally?

Yes. My approach focuses on real moments and genuine interaction rather than constant posing or staging throughout the day.

• Do you do posed couple portraits?

Yes, but I keep portraits relaxed and natural with no cringy or stiff posing. Most couples simply need a little guidance, so I focus on genuine interaction and natural moments.

• Do you travel outside Leicester?

Absolutely. Although I am based in Leicester, I photograph weddings across Leicestershire, the Midlands, and throughout the UK. I am also available for destination weddings and overseas celebrations.

• How long do couple portraits usually take?

Most couple portraits only take around 10–20 minutes. I keep things simple and relaxed, helping you forget the camera and enjoy the day together.

• How much time should we allow for group photographs?

Most group photographs can usually be completed within 15–30 minutes depending on the number of combinations. Keeping group photographs mainly to immediate family also helps everything run smoothly and gives you more time to enjoy the wedding with your guests.

• What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?

Absolutely. Most couples tell me they feel nervous at first. My aim is to help you feel comfortable without making anything feel forced.
