Helping couples who hate to pose get amazing wedding photography

If you are looking for a traditional wedding photographer who makes you pose for every photo, you’ve come to the wrong place. But, let’s be honest, you hate that idea, don’t you? Traditional wedding photography isn’t for you. You don’t want photographs of forced smiles that drop the second the camera is put down. You want to see your friends and family as they really are, having a blast at your wedding.

That’s where I come in. I’m a Lincolnshire wedding photographer who loves to capture chilled, quirky couples madly in love. If you hate the idea of posed, traditional wedding photography, you’ve found your photographer. I want you to spend your wedding having a brilliant time, while I get on with photographing what actually happens. If that sounds like your kind of wedding photography, get in touch.

Hi, I’m Carl, a proud Lincolnshire native.

As a Lincolnshire wedding photographer, I photograph couples who want amazing wedding photos without spending half the day posing for them. I don’t do this by making you pose for endless photos; I do this by capturing the true story of your wedding day in a documentary style.

When I’m not photographing, you will normally find me chilling on one of Lincolnshire’s beaches. The rest of the time, you’ll find me in the woodland around Woodhall Spa or in Lincoln, wandering around the Bailgate or catching a gig at The Engine Shed.

Wedding Photography FAQs

Answers to the questions I get asked the most

I’ll travel anywhere for a great wedding. There is no extra cost for weddings anywhere in the UK.

Prices start at £1,595. For full details, you can check out my prices page. Unlike some wedding photographers, I have all my prices listed on my website.

For me, documentary photography is the best way to capture people as they really are, but that doesn’t mean abandoning portraits or family photographs. I still want you to have those; I just don’t want them taking over your wedding day.

I specialise in wedding photography for couples who are nervous in front of the camera. Most of the time, you will be too busy having a blast to even know I am there.

As a documentary wedding photographer, I get asked this a lot. Of course, we can create some traditional posed photos to keep your families happy. It’s best if we agree on a “must-have” list before the wedding, so you don’t spend chunks of your day fake smiling for endless photos.

You get your photos via your personal, password-protected page. From there, you can download your photographs at full size, as well as versions that are perfect for sharing on your socials.

Wedding photography can seem expensive, but unlike most things you spend money on for a wedding, the photographs are still going to matter years afterwards. Hitched magazine suggests that based on average wedding costs, couples should budget up to 10% of their total budget for photography.

You absolutely should. A portfolio shows the highlights; a full gallery shows you how a photographer works across an entire wedding. I’m more than happy to send you one. In fact, I insist.
