Wedding Photographer · Chesterfield
Eyup, I'm Josh.
If posing makes you cringe, you're in the right place.
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.

The honest version -
Let's keep it relaxed, No fuss, no faff
Ey up, I’m Josh. I’m here for the belly laughs, the chaos, and the quiet moments you didn't even realise were happening.
"Everyone at the wedding spoke about how lovely he was and what a great presence he brought on our day."
— Lucy Bashforth, 2026
"Josh was brilliant. So friendly, genuine and an excellent photographer."
Sara Glover · Wedding 2026
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.

Do you offer a discount for NHS or Emergency Services?
Yes, I offer 10% off any package for NHS, Emergency Services, Education, and Armed Forces personnel as a thank you for your service. Just mention it in the enquiry form and proof of employment will be required to confirm the discount.
Which areas of Derbyshire do you cover?
I'm based in Chesterfield and cover weddings across Derbyshire, Sheffield, and the Peak District. I've photographed weddings at venues including Dunston Hall Estate, Grangefields, and Sheffield Register Office, as well as intimate registry office ceremonies across the region.
How long after the wedding will we receive our photos?
Your full edited gallery is delivered within 6 weeks via a private online gallery where you can download everything. Guest access is available separately if needed.
How do we check your availability and book?
Fill in the enquiry form on this page with your date and venue and I'll get back to you — usually the same day. There's no sales pitch, just a straightforward chat to check I'm free and answer any questions.
What is your wedding photography style?
I shoot in a documentary, photojournalistic style — no posing, no direction during your ceremony, no cringe. I blend into the background and capture the moments as they actually happen: the belly laughs, the chaos, and the quiet bits you didn't even notice at the time.
Do you do posed photos as well as documentary?
Yes — I set aside around 20 minutes during the day for portraits, just the two of you. It's a walk and a chat rather than a photoshoot, so you get natural portraits without it feeling awkward. Group and family shots are also covered straight after the confetti walk.
Can you photograph both our wedding ceremony and evening reception?
Yes. The Full Narrative package covers getting ready through to the first dance — up to 12 hours finishing by 9pm. If your day runs differently just mention it in your enquiry and I'll work around your timeline.
Do you offer wedding videography as well as photography?
My focus is wedding photography. If you're looking for a photo and video package, get in touch and I can point you towards trusted videographers I've worked alongside at Derbyshire and Chesterfield weddings.
How many photos will we receive?
The Intimate Vows package includes 100+ edited images, The Best Bits half-day package includes 250+ edited images, and The Full Narrative full-day package includes 400+ edited images — all fully edited and delivered in your private online gallery.
