CHAOS & JOY, STORIES WORTH REMEMBERING

Your wedding day is a whole story – not a photoshoot.

I’m here to quietly document how it felt, not how it was arranged.
The laughter before anyone notices the camera.
The hugs at the drinks.
The dancefloor chaos that actually mattered.
The moments you want to remember, not the moments you were told to pose for.

And yes, most people tell me afterwards:
‘We forgot you were even there!’

That’s when the best MOMENTS happen.

The Full Story

£2400

CHECK AVAILABILITY

From the final part of getting ready through to the dancefloor.
I arrive during the final part of prep, capturing the anticipation and quiet moments before the ceremony, then stay through the full arc of the day – ceremony, drinks, hugs, food, speeches, and dancing – until the party’s properly underway, usually around 9pm.

Ideal for couples who want the day documented as it actually felt.

INCLUDES

  • Coverage from the final part of getting ready through to the evening
  • Ceremony, celebrations, and natural moments throughout the day
  • Relaxed portraits and informal group photos
  • Candid coverage of guests, speeches, and dancing
  • A carefully edited online gallery, delivered privately
  • High-resolution images to download and share

Ceremonies & Stories

From £1400

CHECK AVAILABILITY

Quiet, observant coverage centred around the ceremony and the moments that matter most.

Think Waterloo Sunset energy – just the two of you, a little space to breathe, and time with the people closest to you. I’ll be there for the ceremony, relaxed portraits,
and those first moments with your people, then step away as the day naturally moves on.

Ideal for intimate weddings, smaller guest lists, and days that don’t need full coverage.

INCLUDES

  • Photography coverage focused on the ceremony and key moments before and after
  • Relaxed couple portraits
  • Informal group photos with close family and friends
  • Natural, documentary-style photography throughout
  • A carefully edited online gallery, delivered privately
  • High-resolution images to download and share

Stay Late

The Full Story coverage already carries you through the first dance and into the start of the party. This add-on is for couples who want me there deeper into the night – for fireworks, a DJ set after the band finishes, or just more dancefloor and late-night energy, right through to 11pm or midnight.

£300 per hour

35mm Film Add-on

For couples who love a nostalgic, organic feel alongside digital coverage.

I shoot around 36 frames of 35mm throughout the day to add softness, grain, and that unmistakable film character. The images are professionally developed and scanned, then delivered seamlessly within your final gallery.

Most couples add one or two rolls to gently layer film into their story.

FAQ

Got Questions?

If you have questions that aren’t answered here, just ask – I’m always happy to chat things through.

Once you’re happy to go ahead, you can book directly via a secure online link
Simply choose the coverage, accept the quote, and pay the £500 deposit to secure your date.The balance is due closer to the wedding.
Everything is clear and straightforward – no awkward contracts or pressure.

Completely. Most couples are still shaping their plans when they first get in touch.
You don’t need to have everything decided – dates, timings and coverage can all evolve, and I’m happy to help you think things through as you go.

A woman with blonde hair smiles widely and hugs another person tightly, her eyes closed in joy, as another’s hand is raised in the background at what appears to be a party—capturing a perfect moment of documentary wedding photography.

That’s completely normal. Most weddings naturally follow a similar rhythm – getting ready, ceremony, portraits, speeches, and the first dance.
For that reason, most couples choose The Full Story coverage, which follows the day through to the start of the evening celebrations.
If you’re planning something shorter or more intimate, the Ceremony & Celebration option may be a better fit.
If you’d like me to sense-check your plans, I’m very happy to help.

Only if you’d like to. Some couples are happy to book after a few messages, others prefer a quick call or WhatsApp chat -whatever feels right for you.
There’s absolutely no pressure either way.

Your full online gallery will be ready within two weeks.
You’ll receive a complete, carefully edited collection that tells the story of your day naturally, with plenty to relive and share.

Yes – there’s no need to decide that now.
Many couples choose albums or extras after the wedding, once they’ve seen their photos and had time to live with them a little.

How do we secure our date?

A signed contract and £500 booking fee locks it in. The balance is due a month before the day.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes! I cover weddings all across the UK. Travel is always agreed upfront so there are no surprises.

What if we’re planning something smaller?

I offer shorter coverage for elopements and local weddings, just get in touch and tell me your plans.

Can we meet you before booking?

Yes, I always recommend a quick video call if possible. It’s the best way to see if we click before the big day.

How long does it take to get our photos?

I deliver a preview gallery within a week, and the full gallery in 2–4 weeks.

Can we book albums later?

Of course. Most couples add an album after the wedding once they’ve seen their photos.


How much does wedding photography cost in Sussex or Kent?


My full-day wedding photography coverage starts at £2,200. That includes morning prep to dance-floor chaos — everything that makes your day unique. For smaller celebrations or elopements, I offer half-day and custom options too.


What’s included in your wedding photography packages?


Every package includes professional editing, a private online gallery, high-resolution downloads, and full print rights. You can also add albums, engagement shoots, or extra hours to create a package that fits your plans perfectly.


Do you charge travel fees for weddings outside Sussex?


Travel across Sussex and Kent is included. For weddings further afield — London, the Cotswolds, Wales, or destination weddings abroad — I’ll quote fairly based on travel and accommodation. No hidden extras.


How do we book you for our wedding?


Once you’ve decided to go ahead, I’ll send a simple online contract and booking form. Your date is confirmed with a £400 booking fee, and the balance is due one month before your wedding.


Do you offer payment plans or split payments?


Yes, I can split your balance into two or three instalments if that helps with planning. I know weddings are a big investment, and I want the process to feel as relaxed as the photos look.


How soon will we receive our photos?


You’ll get your full online gallery within 4–6 weeks. A handful of preview images usually arrive a few days after the wedding so you can relive it straight away.


Why is wedding photography such an important investment?


Because it’s the only thing that lasts. The cake’s gone, the flowers fade — but your photographs hold every emotion, every face, every tiny moment. You’ll relive it all, forever, exactly as it felt.

Amy & Stan

“Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.“

“Dale has such a cool style and put everyone at ease. From months before the wedding he was super helpful, quick to reply and knew our venue inside out so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. On the day he was just a cool dude to have around, and the photos speak for themselves. We couldn’t have asked for more.”

“Stop your search and just book him!“

“Dale has a calm, reassuring presence and fitted in seamlessly — even helping with buttonholes and veils. Ten guests told us how incredible he was, and the photos are the nicest wedding images we’ve ever seen.”

Camille + Joe

“Like one of the guests, just with a camera!”

“Dale was like one of the guests, just with a couple of cameras. All our guests loved him and commented on how well he blended in. If you’re looking for a documentary style photographer, he’s the man. The photos are brilliant — natural, full of moments we’ll treasure.”

SHALL WE DO THIS?

If you’ve made it this far, we’re probably a good match.
Drop me a message, and I’ll reply within 24 hours (after coffee).
