My Story

A documentary wedding & family photographer based in Nottinghamshire, UK

As a young boy I enjoyed drawing, music, skateboarding, design and fashion, and it was through work experience at school I discovered my passion for photography. This led me into capturing my life and the people around me. Moving into the wedding industry in 2017, I have spent the last 6 years honing my craft and have been fortunate enough to travel to a variety of beautiful locations with my work.  

My relaxed demeanor and easy-going approach to life flows through my work. I enjoy football, music, fashion and crossfit. I admire design, filmmaking and architeture. And also have a love for wildlife and travel. Professionally and personally, I love building relationships with couples, their guests and suppleirs, trying to ensure everyone feels comfortable in my presence.  

Being able to capture artistically, authetic photographs and to tell stories through photography and film is so important and fulfilling for me. On the day, I am relaxed, discrete and always moving with the flow of the day - almost becoming a guest. I may make small suggestions, like portraits at dusk or when the light hits just right, but my main focus is capturing natural moments as they unfold.

What my clients say

Verity & Tom
Wedding
"Comfortable and at ease from the very first email"

Well what can i say?! We chose Josh as our wedding photographer due to following him on social media and him being fairly new to the wedding photography scene. His work just had the "look and vibe" we were looking for. He made us feel comfortable and at ease from the very first email exchange to the final imgae dropped. We wanted someone who would mingle into the crowd which isn't a bad thing so people werent on edge due to feeling they would be asked to line up for a photo. We wanted natural and candid shots which we were more than happy with.
