Hello, I’m Tim
Dad to 2 (Sam & Ellie), Married to Angela since 2008, Chief dog-walker (Luna, a bouncy Cocker Spaniel).
AND A NORFOLK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
My adventure into the fabulous world of wedding photography began somewhere around 2007 or 2008 when some of our family friends announced they were getting married – and like many fresh wedding photographers to-be, I was nearby with a camera in my hand and volunteered to snap a few photos.
Fortunately everything went OK, the couple loved their photos and soon after then more and more people kept asking me to photograph their own celebrations. Through the intervening years I steadily worked my way through all our friends and extended family who were tying the knot & haven’t looked back!
I’ve always had a passion for photography right from an early age when I was lucky enough to be able to experience the traditional craft involved in developing my own black & white film & prints many moons ago back in school. Building on that, the idea and excitement of being able to dedicate time to photographing people on one of the most exciting and fabulous days of their lives ignited a whole new passion.
THIS IS US
FAMILY
Today,
when I’m not working on encouraging Ellie or Sam to pick up a camera, I adore using my skills to tell a story. For me, photographing people has always been at the top of the list; being able to capture those raw, beautiful emotions and documenting once-in-a-lifetime events is something a bit special. It’s more than just a job. It’s an absolute privilege to be invited into our wonderful couples’ special days; joining you and your family with the trust to work subtly and discretely, capturing these incredible, once-off occasions – helping you to remember and celebrate your wonderful day forever.
Photos (and film if you book a Videographer) tend to be the lasting memories from your day. The cake gets eaten, the dress is worn once and flowers well… don’t last that long.
Your photos get printed, shared with friends and family, set as backgrounds, popped into frames, turned into beautiful wedding albums or hung on the wall.. Your film gets watched and rewatched – and those are the memories you’ll be able to look back on for years to come.
Every single wedding is different and even now after shooting quite a few weddings I thrive on the uniqueness. Of course, we go into the day with a rough timeline and idea of when the important things will happen – but none of us actually know for sure how the day’s going to unfold once it gets going.. and that’s just magic!
Over the last few years I’ve been honoured to shoot weddings at a whole host of wonderfully exquisite venues around the UK, including Norfolk & East Anglia – with repeat visits to some of the finest venues in our wonderful county.
I’m also proud to be regularly recommended by our absolutely wonderful clients along with being a recommended photographer for many local venues, professional wedding planners and other leading wedding industry suppliers.
THIS IS ME… ABOUT AS FORMAL AS IT GETS!
Creative, Relaxed,
Authentic.
Let’s do this!
AWARD WINNING
YEP, PICKED UP A FEW OF THESE …..
These days however, I’ve decided to stop entering most industry award schemes.
They nearly always boil down towards needing us to encourage people to vote for us in what’s little more than a who-can-shout-the-loudest popularity contest rather than being anything meaningful or reflective of what we actually do. Personally, I don’t want to be continually nagged by someone to vote or bombarded with marketing messages; so I won’t subject any of you to them either on my behalf.
Instead, I’d much rather talk about the best awards available – feedback from our wonderful couples – and you can read plenty of those over here on Kind Words.
