Eyup, I'm Josh.

If posing makes you cringe, you're in the right place.

 

Josh, documentary wedding photographer based in Chesterfield

 

I’m all about you having a proper good day - not turning it into a production. I’ll blend right in, stay out of the way, and make sure you’ve got reyt good photos of the moments that actually matter and if you fancy a couple of poses along the way? Lets give it a go!



I'm all about shooting the way that you're comfortable, it's your wedding day, I work for you in your way.

The cinema workflow

Shot with true cinema colour, not a filter

Every wedding runs through the same 2 Fujifilm film profiles, built to feel like film without film prices.


Your gallery reads as one story instead of a pile of random shots. The black and whites are nostalgic enough to frame but sharp enough to blow up to the size of your wall.


"Everyone at the wedding spoke about how lovely he was and what a great presence he brought on our day."

All weddings, big or small deserve great photos.


Your big day, should be big no matter what the celebration. I am here to treat you with the same care, quality & respect whether it's a huge venue wedding with 100s of guests, or a smaller more intimate where we grab an ice-cream afterwards in the middle of Bakewell.

What People have actually said -

Real words, from real couples.

Don't take just my word for it.

HOW IT WORKS -

What the day actually looks like.

STEP 01

Getting Ready

I arrive early, say hello, start shooting quietly before anything "official" begins. 9 times out of 10, we spend more time laughing than doing anything serious.

STEP 02

Ceremony & confetti

I position before the moment. Documentary — no calling directions during your vows. I walk out with you and straight onto group shots & confetti walk!

STEP 03

15 mins, just you two

A walk, a chat, no photoshoot vibes. Your guests get a break, you get the portraits.

STEP 04

Gallery within 4 weeks

Private online gallery. Download everything. No chasing required, separate access for guests available
