Weddings

“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”

– Harry, when he met Sally.

Welcome!

Congratulations on finding your forever person!

So, now you’re looking for a wedding photographer. 

Let’s see if I’m the right photographer for your special day together. Read on and if you like what you see, send me a message so we can sort out some finer details.

Me and my wife both had such a good vibe from Darren right away!
... On the day he was lovely, non judgmental and so sweet... We wanted natural, sweet pictures and that’s exactly what we got.

Why me?

So many reasons. But let me hit you with a few of the most important ones. 

  • Fun and Romantic Photos

    My style is a perfect mix of relaxed and intimate. We'll laugh while creating some beautiful moments together.

  • You're priority is to spend time with each other, and your guests. 

    You don't book me if you want a photoshoot disguised as a wedding. You choose me because I'll get great photos without tearing you away for hours.

  • You know you want memories of your wedding, but you don't love being in front of a camera.

    My people! I'm the photographer for couples who hate being photographed. I'll spend most of the day in the shadows, giving you space to be yourselves, and then when it comes to the groups and newlywed portraits, I'll step in with calm and minimal direction that will keep you looking natural, relaxed, and happy.

  • All. Day. Coverage.

    Your wedding doesn't end after the first dance. I'm here to document it ALL. Plus, after the buffet is when it gets wild.

  • True to life, timeless style

    Forget the filters and look-at-me colours. My photography will look great today and on your Golden Anniversary.

  • Mums love me

    I cannot overstate how important this is on your wedding day.

Darren was our photographer for our wedding recently and he is such a nice, friendly respectful guy who is excellent at his job! So glad we chose him. He was there from the getting ready stages but you wouldn't even know he was in the room. He was even on hand to adjust the bracelet of my new watch!! Everyone commented on how nice a guy he was and he just mingled about taking loads of pics. Our pictures are absolutely amazing and we have no hesitation in recommending Chronicle Photography.

Where do I begin, we met Darren at my best friends wedding 3 years ago and he was just a genuine, warm, friendly guy - when we were planning our wedding there was no doubt he would be our photographer. He was with us from the morning getting ready until the day was over. Everyone complimented what a fantastic photographer he was, he thought of everything … even down to bringing a sewing kit which I must say came in very handy! We didn’t wait long at all for our photos which all turned out fantastic! We wil 100% recommend Darren to anyone needing a photographer for an event!

The entire day was outstanding, and you (Darren), in no short part, contributed to the celebration. From the morning shots at the pre-party to the great candid views of the rest of the day and night. You went above and beyond what we expected. And all our friends at our day have loved how splendidly it was captured in the joyful spirit of the occasion.

Darren was a highlight of our wedding day. He was there from start to finish and all of our guests absolutely loved him and have priased him so much. He was a joy to have around and really helped put us at ease and enabled us to have the best day. He has captured our whole day in the most beautiful way which means we can relive it as often as we like. Nothing was too much trouble and he was determined not to let the rain dampen our day. I can't speak highly enough of Darren and how much we appreciated his services and support both before, during and after our day. Huge thank you for helping to create the most special day for us.

Your Photographer

I love weddings. I really do.

I love the romance of them. I love the traditions and the unique twist my couples bring to their day. I love the laughs. I love the beautiful words, I love the party. 

If you are looking for a pristine photoshoot fit for a Vogue magazine, I’m not the `photographer for you. 

But if you want to remember the intimate moments, the interactions with family and friends, and to relive the story of your day, then I’m the one for you.

What do you get from me?

When you invite me to chronicle your day, you’re not just inviting any photographer; you’re inviting a photographer that will be a friend, a coordinator, and a cheerleader. 

Remember I said “So many reasons” earlier on why you should choose me? Here’s some more.

  • Photographs that will make you smile over and over again.
  • Knowledge of every aspect of weddings. Making me a great resource for you
  • Professional service. You’ll never be left wondering If I have read your email or text.
  • You’re very own boy scout. I’m prepared for everything from headaches to split trousers. (See my reviews!)
  • A kick-ass friend with a camera. I’ll joke with the girls & join the boys on the dancefloor.
  • A calming presence and a leaders voice. Whichever you need. I’m ready.

Still have some questions?

Here's some ones I made up that you might ask

I sure do.  Weddings require £250 to be paid at the time of booking, which is then deducted from your package total. Your remaining balance (plus any extras you have chosen) are due 4 weeks before your wedding day.  You can pay via card, Paypal, Bank Transfer or cold hard cash in an envelope if you’re a big fan of traditional currency.

Keep scrolling. The enquiry section is just a mouse roll away.

Yes. If it’s on planet Earth, I’ll figure out a way to be there. 

Travel within 50 miles of my house is included in your package. Further afield you’ll probably have to pay a little more. 

Only COVID’s house arrest has ever stopped me, but if I can’t make it for some reason, I have a great network of fellow professionals ready to step in. 

No jokes here. Yes. 100% 

If I’m available on the new date, cool. no drama, Everything transfers, no extra cost.  If I’m not, I’ll help you find a photographer who is. I’m keeping the booking fee though, gotta feed the dog.

This one is completely subjective. For a full day wedding – at least 500. If you have more elements to your wedding; singing waiters, party games and so on, the number will go up. I don’t delete anything you will miss. Test shots, duplicates (closed eyes, etc.) and the first one of the day when I forget to take the lens cap off get binned, pretty much everything else gets delivered. 

Either the same day, or within a day or two, depending on your package – you will get a few previews for you to relive the moment immediately. My target is always to have your photos with you by the time you come home from your honeymoon – around 2 weeks from the wedding, but in peak season when I can have 2-3 weddings a week, that may stretch a couple of extra weeks. If you are super excited and can’t wait, I am willing to pull a couple of all-nighters to get your photos to you in just 3 days – just add on my priority editing (£) to your package. 

If you hate me, yes. Yes you can. 

Once you have your photographs, you have licence to print them and share them as you like. I do recommend printing them via a professional lab – you can do this in your online gallery. That will give you the best results and won’t make me die a little inside. 

At the very least, all I ask is you never slap an Instagram (or whatever social media is flavour of the month) filter on them.

Ask away. Pick your preferred method of interactions from these options:
