Nottingham & Derby Wedding Photography
Hi I’m Paul, an International award-winning photographer from Derbyshire providing story-telling wedding photography.
Capturing Your Day, Your Way
My approach to wedding photography is simple: to document your special day as it unfolds, blending natural moments with a touch of carefully crafted portraits. The result is a collection of images that tell the unique story of your celebration, perfect for both full-page spreads in a storybook and stunning wall art. Why settle for one when you can have both?
As you browse through my website, you’ll see the depth of my experience across wedding, drone, and commercial photography. I balance the beauty of natural light with expert lighting setups, creating images that are both authentic and artistic – tailored to reflect the uniqueness of every couple.
Covering the East Midlands and Beyond
While I mainly cover the East Midlands, my work has taken me across the UK—from the stunning cliffs of North Yorkshire to the sunny shores of Cornwall. I’ve had the privilege of capturing weddings for brides, grooms, and LGBTQ+ couples in some of the UK’s most picturesque locations, including the iconic art deco landmark of Burgh Island in Devon.
Whether it’s a coastal wedding or a countryside celebration, I’m always up for a road trip! I love travelling for special events and unique occasions, bringing my passion for photography to every corner of the country.
Specialist in Drone Imagery & Videography
With close to ten years of experience in drone-based aerial imagery and videography, I’ve earned my Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Authorisation, giving me the expertise and edge in the UAV industry. Holding a CAA GVC Operational Authorisation (OA) and owning a range of professional drones, I’m equipped to deliver stunning aerial shots that bring a truly unique perspective to your wedding day gallery.
Whether capturing breathtaking overhead views of your venue or adding cinematic flair to your wedding video, my extensive experience ensures each shot is expertly composed for maximum impact. It’s the perfect way to elevate your special day’s story in both images and film.

So Why Choose me as your wedding photographer?
Booking your wedding photographer is a big decision – it’s not just about the style of photography, but about finding someone who complements the vibe of your day. You want a photographer who is professional, personable, and blends seamlessly with your family and friends. Someone who can handle all lighting conditions, from the bright outdoors to the darker corners of indoor venues.
My couples often praise my friendly, approachable nature and my ability to provide reliable and quick customer service. I take pride in making sure I’m not just another supplier, but a part of your wedding day experience. With a fun, relaxed approach, I ensure that you get stunning, natural photos while still capturing all the important moments while you enjoy the day.

Wedding, guests & special moments
Weddings are all about emotions, connections, and creating a lifetime of memories. I believe wedding photography should capture the natural flow of your big day, without being dominated by formal poses or staged moments.
My approach is to tell your unique story and delight you with unexpected, candid moments, photographs that you didn’t even realise were being captured. Time and again, couples are surprised and overjoyed by the genuine, heartfelt memories I preserve for them.
