RelaxedWeddingPhotography.
Real moments. No awkward posing.
Your wedding day goes by fast.
My job is to capture it exactly as it felt, the emotion, the chaos, the laughter, and all the little moments happening in between. No turning your wedding into a photoshoot.
Just honest photographs of a day you’ll never want to forget.
Approach.
It’s a wedding day, not a photoshoot.
I keep things relaxed so you can actually enjoy your day.
No stiff posing.
No endless shot lists.
No dragging you away from your guests for an hour.
I capture the real moments as they happen, the hugs, the laughter, the tears, and the dance floor chaos later in the evening.
When people feel comfortable, that’s when the best photographs happen.
Portraits.
Relaxed portraits, no awkward posing.
Most couples tell me they hate having their photo taken. That’s completely normal. Portraits are simple and relaxed. We’ll usually take two short walks during the day, one earlier and one later when the light is softer.
You’ll chat, walk together, maybe laugh at one of my questionable dad jokes, and I’ll quietly photograph the moments in between.
Nothing forced. Just the two of you.
Groups.
Quick, simple, done.
We focus on the people who matter most, parents, grandparents, siblings, and your wedding party. This usually takes around 10 minutes.
After that, you’re free to enjoy your drinks reception while I capture the natural moments happening around you.
Pricing.
I keep wedding pricing simple so everything is clear and easy. Every wedding is different, so instead of complicated packages I simply charge by the hour. No packages. No hidden extras. Minimum booking of 2 hours.
£250 per hour
You choose how many hours of coverage you’d like depending on your plans.
Some couples book a few hours around the ceremony, while most book between 6, 8 or 10 hours (£1500-£2500) to capture the full story of their day. If you’re not sure how many hours you’ll need, I’ll help you work that out based on your timeline, click button below.
Shorter bookings of 4 hours or less (<£1000) are ONLY available within 16 weeks of the wedding date. This allows me to keep dates open for couples looking for longer, full-day coverage.
So... What Do We Get.
For a typical 10-hour wedding, you can expect around 600–1000 hand-edited photographs.
Your images are delivered in a private online gallery where you can download, share, and order professional prints. The gallery also includes an integrated print store with beautiful albums, frames, and wall art available.
Book 10 hours or more and I’ll also include a complimentary couple session before the wedding. It’s a great chance for us to meet in person, get comfortable in front of the camera, and create some relaxed photos of just the two of you.
Could not possibly recommend Ray enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. My biggest worry for the wedding was choosing the right photographer, and after seeing the photos he had done for a friends wedding, and her account of how great he was, we booked as soon as we could and it was the best decision we made.

Print.
Your memories deserve more than a screen. Seeing your photographs printed, framed, and living in your home is a completely different experience. That’s why every gallery includes a print store, along with beautiful bespoke products from award-winning professional print lab; Loxley Colour.
Because photographs should be lived with, not just stored in the cloud.
Simple Steps.
Send me a message through the contact form with a few details about your wedding.
If I’m available, we’ll arrange a quick Zoom call so we can get to know each other and talk about your plans.
This is a relaxed chat where we’ll talk through your wedding day and what coverage you might need.
Some couples want a few hours around the ceremony. Others want the full story from morning preparations through to the dance floor.
Because I work on an hourly rate, everything is flexible. Together we’ll work out the coverage that suits your plans best.
If everything feels right, I’ll send over a simple online booking proposal.
It only takes a few minutes to complete. Once the contract is signed and the £250 deposit is paid by bank transfer, your wedding date is secured in my calendar.
Once you’re booked in, I’ll send over my welcome guide with tips to help you get the most out of your photography.
You’ll also have my phone number, so feel free to text or WhatsApp any time if you have questions along the way.
Around six weeks before the wedding we’ll have another quick Zoom call to run through your timeline for the day.
This helps everything flow smoothly so you can relax and enjoy the celebration.
The remaining balance for your photography is due around five weeks before the wedding.
The day after the wedding I’ll send a small preview of around 10 photographs so you have something to share straight away.
Your full gallery is usually delivered within 6–8 weeks, occasionally up to 12 weeks during the busiest months.
When editing begins I’ll let you know, and delivery usually follows within about a week.
Most couples first invite me into their lives on their wedding day.
But many return years later for newborn photos, family sessions, and the next chapters of life.
Because once someone has documented the biggest day of your life, it makes sense to trust them with the rest of it too.
Whenever life changes and you want new memories captured, I’m always here.
All sessions follow the same simple approach:
£250 per hour.
