Modern Editorial Wedding Photography

Relaxed – Natural – Candid

Hello, I’m Dale.

Based in St Leonards, Hastings – East Sussex.

With over a decade of experience in modern editorial wedding photography, I’ve subsequently photographed around 400 Weddings after quitting my day job back in 2016. Since then I’ve been able to put my entire focus into helping couples capture their special day.

I photograph weddings because I love spending time with people on one of the happiest days of their lives.
When people are glowing with pride and happiness they are the most interesting to photograph and that’s when the magic happens!

My unique approach is to shoot and edit with a colourful Kodak-film look, with a heavy focus on you and your loved ones because I am all about the people and the emotions!

When you hire me, I capture your day in a subtle and careful way with a modern editorial wedding photography approach to tell your personal love story. I take pride in making sure I’m not your typical wedding photographer – so let’s collaborate on your special day and create something unique for you.

Why Work With Me?

I really like to get to know a bit about my couples before their wedding day, so I have made some fun questionnaires to send out in the lead up to your wedding day to find out how you met and what you love about each other. I can use this to help get you to a comfortable place and relax you both while being photographed.
80% of the wedding day I’m a fly on the wall capturing natural moments anyway!
I am here to help you navigate the planning of your wedding so that you can get the most out of your photos, photography should be the one thing that you don’t have to worry about on your wedding day!

Natural Images

Authentic and natural photography that tells your true story. Genuine emotions instead of overly posed. I capture the spontaneous laughter, tears, and joy that make a wedding day unique. This allows you to relive each moment every time you see the images.

Experience

After photographing around 400 weddings, I’ve found myself in almost any imaginable situation. I won’t be surprised or caught off guard during your wedding day, allowing me to capture the important moments under any circumstances.
