Take a look through past weddings which I’ve photographed, as well as hints and tips for your wedding day! If you’re a photographer then scroll down to find camera reviews and more…
“Finding a photographer for our wedding day was very important to myself and Cat. We wanted to ensure each moment was captured in a natural and candid manner.
Colin's documentary style of photography was exactly what we were looking for and he exceeded our expectations in every way.
For the most part, Colin seemed invisible; he was never getting in anyone's way, everyone around him felt at ease but at the same time, we knew all of our cherished moments were being captured…” - Luca & Cat
“We booked Colin as videographer for our May wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made. Being able to rewatch the day as it happened after it being such a whirlwind for the bride and groom is such a lovely thing and we couldn't have chosen a better videographer to do it! Colin's style is very relaxed, not OTT and documentary style - we didn't even notice the cameras!
He worked so hard with our photographer Che to make us feel so at ease and it was amazing to receive a little snippet the very next day.
If you're thinking about booking a videographer for your wedding, we would 100% recommend Colin.” - Bethan & Henry
We can't thank Colin enough for our incredible wedding photos! We specifically wanted a documentary style photographer as neither I nor Ollie feel comfortable posing for the camera so finding the right photographer was a really big deal for us.
Colin captured moments we didn't even think of and when we received our album we were completely overwhelmed with the images. We absolutely love them! I would recommend Colin to everyone, THANK YOU. - Dianka & Ollie
“It was such a pleasure having you to document our day. You made the whole thing so easy and managed us without any sense of taking us away from our friends and family” - Will & Natalie
I’m finally back to blogging weddings! After a very busy 2024 season (24 weddings shot) I’m now taking some time to share weddings up on the blog.
Kicking things off are Will & Natalie who got married at Lower House Farm back in 2023. Lower House Farm (Also known as Wild by Nature) is a fantastic farm wedding venue, with the most glorious outdoor spaces and lovely rustic interiors…
“Well, what can I say! We are blown away by the photos we've received from our day, we can't believe how well he managed to capture everything that was going on.
Colin was like a fly on the wall, that for the most part, we forgot he was there! Absolutely fantastic to work with.”
Here’s the start of my several part travel blog around Iceland after my wife and I got married out there!
Take a look at the blog post before this one about our wedding and how we chose to elope to Iceland, this series of blogs is all about the road trip afterward and what we got up to.
Our journey starts near Hella in the Iceland Panoramic Glass Lodge where we got married and took us in our campervan around the ring road of Iceland and to loads of awesome sights and places to see.
Here are a bunch of useful travel tips and a bit of an FAQ if you are planning a trip to Iceland!
Alongside my Travel blog series and Icelandic Elopement blog, I’ve also written this little travel tips post that should help if you are planning a trip to Iceland. As always drop me a question in the comments if I’ve missed anything!
So, I got married! My wonderful wife and I took ourselves away to Iceland to elope by ourselves and then spent just over 2 weeks driving around the country in a camper van and generally having the most awesome time…
Finally getting back into Street Photography and I’ve got my new Fuji X100T to thank.
I recently traveled to London to visit a friend and purchase a suit for my upcoming Icelandic elopement.
During my stay, I had the opportunity to explore the city with my Fuji X100T camera and immerse myself in street photography, a passion that I had neglected for years.
I had the pleasure of filming my first wedding of 2023 back in February, which happened to be a re-booking from a canceled COVID wedding in 2020.
The couple had made three attempts to set a date, but fortunately, the day finally arrived, and we were blessed with uncharacteristically warm and sunny weather for a February day…
“We wanted to say a massive thank you for our amazing videos of the day, we’ve watched them over and over! It has been so great to watch the day back especially as it really did fly by!
You were amazing on the day as well, everything felt super easy and effortless. You captured so many moments we would’ve forgotten or never seen otherwise!” - L+T
While AI is still in its infancy, it's already revolutionising the way wedding photographers work.
That’s not actually the opening line I wrote for this blog post, I went for: ‘We’re at the very early stages of AI, but this tech is already proving to be an incredible tool for wedding photographers.’
I then asked Chat GPT to write it better and the above is what it gave me.
In this post, I’m going to explore what AI can do for wedding photographers and just how much it’s going to change the whole world.
This is a similar post to ‘10 Questions to ask you Wedding Photographer’ but I figured it makes sense to do one more tailored to videography.
This should give you a good idea of what to ask if you’re looking to book a wedding videographer, and I’ve put my answers here too which might also be helpful.
In an effort to do some more blog posts about tips and hints for wedding planning here are the top 10 questions to ask your wedding photographer, and how I would answer them.
It’s really important to have a good relationship with your photographer and these questions are some of the most crucial, but as with anything weddings make sure you ask all the questions you need so you get exactly what you want from the day.
I upgraded to the 18mm 1.4 from the 23mm 1.4 in 2022
TL:DR (Too Long - Didn’t Read ) This lens is a great, light, quick-to-focus lens with great image quality and a surprisingly nice depth of field when shot at F1.4 - It pairs fantastically well with the 33mm F1.4 which is my go-to combo for wedding photography.
I had the pleasure of second shooting this wedding for Che Birch Hayes in the summer of 2022.
We headed down the day before as it was a fair drive from Hereford to Kent and settled into our hotel with a pizza. The next morning we drove over to Bore Place, which is an absolutely stunning wedding venue…
After proposing to my partner in 2021 we got to work planning our wedding. We decided instead of planning a regular wedding in this country we would hop on a plane and get married in Iceland, somehow, even though my fiancé has never been to Iceland she agreed and the planning started.
My first few months with the new Fujifilm XH2 camera!
This is going to be a bit of a long review detailing my first few months with the XH2 and how it’s working out for me, it’s very much a real-world review so I won’t be doing sensor tests and all that jazz, instead just a rambling of thoughts and some example photos!

Time for my last blog post of 2022 - The Yearly Review.
I last did a proper one of these in 2019, then in the subsequent years they kinda fell off the radar as I did fewer weddings and photography work and more marketing work, but that’s all changed now, so let’s get into it!
“Colin managed the capture the absolute joy and love which filled our wedding day. Not only photos of ourselves but of our guests enjoying the day too. He captured every special moment from start to finish. We wasn't interested in standing for posed photographs for hours on end, we wanted someone who could capture the natural and beautiful moments as it happened. Colin did all that and more! Highly recommend!”
As the year is coming to an end I’ve made the plunge and upgraded my kit.
With a few more weddings to shoot, but much more time in between I find the off-season to be a much better time to change gear. This allows me time to learn the new kit and how I work with it, whilst not being overwhelmed with work, I’ll also be using my old kit as a backup just incase I need it…
“We have received the beautiful photo box - it was a lovely surprise to come home to after our holiday.
We absolutely love the photos so a massive thank you from both of us.” - Jessica & Darren
