In this blog, I’ll be sharing expert tips, behind-the-scenes insights, and real client stories to help you find the perfect photographer for your special moments.


How to Choose the Best Photographer for Your Wedding or Portrait Session

Photography is more than just snapping a picture, it’s about capturing emotions, preserving memories, and telling a story. Whether you’re planning a romantic wedding in Derbyshire, an intimate elopement, or a personal portrait session, here’s what you should look for when hiring a professional photographer.


1. Style Matters – Find a Photographer Who Matches Your Vision

Every photographer has a unique style. Some focus on light and airy wedding photography, while others create dramatic, moody portraits. Before booking a session, browse portfolios to see if their editing style matches what you envision for your photos.

My own signature style is a blend of natural storytelling, soft romance, and genuine emotion, ensuring your images feel authentic and timeless, if you want a splash of wild creativity tho, i'm here for it!


2. Experience & Expertise – Why does a Professional Make All the Difference?

Your wedding day happens once, and your portraits should reflect your personality. A seasoned photographer understands lighting, composition, and how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

With years of experience photographing weddings across Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and far beyond, I know how to capture every perfect moment, from stolen glances to joyful laughter.


3. Posing & Natural Expressions – Making You Feel Confident

Many people worry about feeling awkward in front of the camera. A great photographer will guide you with easy, natural posing techniques, ensuring you look your best without feeling forced or stiff.

During my sessions, I focus on creating a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere, whether it’s a bride’s first look, a couple’s engagement session, or a powerful women’s portrait.

Why Derbyshire is the Perfect Backdrop for Stunning Photography

As a Derbyshire based photographer, I’m lucky to shoot in some of the most picturesque locations. Whether it’s a romantic countryside wedding, an elegant venue in the Peak District, or an outdoor portrait session in a wildflower meadow, the natural beauty of the area makes for breathtaking photos.
