MEET GRAHAM
I'm a storyteller who finds the greatest joy in stolen moments
and revealing the beauty of simplicity.
Hi, I’m Graham. Born in the South, forged in the North, and now based just outside London in Guildford - though you’ll usually find me somewhere between a country house somewhere in Surrey and a London town hall with great architecture.
I first studied photography in the late '80's and my camersas have taken me everywhere, from East Berlin (when that was still a thing) to Mumbai, New York, Rome, Milan, Oslo, Riyadh, Tel Aviv, Doha, and Paris. I worked in TV, film, music, and corporate for clients like MTV, BBC, Jaguar, Ford and, err, Marlboro.
That work shaped how I see: fast, intuitive, story-first. Not staged. Not stiff.
So when I photographed my first wedding - at the request of a TV producer friend who didn’t want anything “wedding-y” - it clicked. Literally. I treated the day like a piece of social documentary, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Now I shoot weddings with the same philosophy: timeless reportage with an unrehearsed editorial feel.
It’s about capturing who you are, who you love, and how it felt - without the awkward poses, the cookie-cutter moments, or the pressure to perform.
Just you, your people, and a story worth telling.
A storyteller with a camera. A background in television and graphic design. A soft spot for sparkly shoes and good light.
WHY CHOOSE ME?
Let’s be honest - choosing a wedding photographer isn’t just about finding someone with a fancy camera and a love for golden hour. It’s about finding someone who gets you. Someone who’ll capture the kind of photos that feel like your memories - not a Pinterest board.
Your wedding photos will outlast the playlist, the champagne, and even the group chat. These are the images you’ll return to again and again - teary-eyed, grinning, telling stories that start with “remember when…?”
So yes, vibe matters. You want someone who feels like a friend, not a clipboard with a lens. Someone who knows when to step in, when to step back, and how to catch the magic while it’s happening - not stage it after.
I do things differently. Less performance, more presence, and definitely no awkward posing.
THE ART OF
STORYTELLING
FINDING COURAGE - FUERTAVENTURA, WINTER 2024
AT THE TOP
The story on this page? It’s the day my son climbed a 297-metre volcano, peered into the abyss, and learned something big:
You do the thing, and the courage comes after.
He stood at the top, grinning like a tiny action hero who’d just levelled up. Later, armed with his new bravery, he tried to turn back the tide. But that’s a story for another day.
BASE CAMP
I photograph weddings the same way I photograph my own life - with an eye for the story that ties everything together. Not just a string of moments, but why they mattered. The way someone held your hand, the way the light hit just so, the way everything felt slightly magical for reasons you can’t quite explain.
That’s what I’m chasing: unscripted, heartfelt, blink-and-you-miss-it moments that bring you right back there. And maybe, if we’re lucky, a bit of volcano-level courage too.
"A master of visual-narrative.
One of the UK's top documentary
wedding photographers".
- NICK RAY, The TIMES
One of the most underrated skills a wedding photographer can have? Knowing how to read the room. It’s not just about where the light is - it’s about knowing when to lean in, when to hang back, and how to blend in like a pair of brown cords at a 70s disco.
When guests start snapping photos of me like I’m one of the gang, that’s when I know I’ve nailed it. Because that’s how you get the good stuff - the real stuff. Not just pretty pictures, but memories that feel like they’ve been bottled straight from the moment.
