Professional Wedding Photographer

based in Reading, Berkshire.
Offering Wedding Photography services principally in Berkshire, London, Surrey and the surrounding areas.

I am a Professional Wedding Photographer based in Reading, Berkshire. From your getting ready to your first dance, my goal is to ensure that every detail of your wedding day is captured.

Although I'm now based in Reading, my work has taken me far outside this area - to London, Surrey, Oxford, and also to some far away places abroad. We now provide wedding photography services across England, Scotland and Wales as well as exotic destinations overseas.


Should you hire a professional photographer?

When preparing everything for a wedding, couples often forget one important thing -  choosing the right photographer. A lot of people think that organising wedding photographs is easy and often give the responsibility to friends or members of the family. But you cannot forget the fact that your wedding is not just an ordinary family gathering. It only happens once in your lifetime, so you need to make sure that you will have great wedding photographs which will serve as a wonderful record of that very special day.

Choice of a wedding photographer – crucial for marrying couples

It is crucial to have a good photographer. I have personally been at weddings with no professional photographer, where members of the family took all the pictures. The effects were terrible! Of course, hiring a professional photographer can seem expensive, but having a wonderful record of the day is worth the cost.

Equipment – the main difference between a professional photographer and an amateur

One of the main reasons for hiring a professional over an amateur is the quality of their gear. While amateurs usually use cheap digital cameras, professionals have high quality SLR cameras, with additional equipment such as photo flash lamps, support stands, and so on. This equipment not only allows wedding photographers to take top quality photos, but to take pictures from all angles, in bad lighting, etc.

Price equals quality

The only advantage to using amateur photographers is the price. Getting a friend or member of the family to take pictures at your wedding will usually be free. So, if paying for a professional photographer will squeeze your budget, just hire a professional to take photos during the ceremony and then some formal photographs afterwards.  Then ask a friend to take pictures during the reception.
