Event Photography

Choose me as your event photographer for calm, unobtrusive coverage that captures the atmosphere as it really felt. I focus on the moments that matter, keynote speakers, networking, branded details, and genuine reactions, without pulling people out of the experience. Whether it’s a conference, awards night, exhibition, or product launch, I’ll work seamlessly with your team and schedule, so you can stay present while I document it properly.

 

With consistent, vibrant edits and a reliable turnaround, you’ll receive a gallery of high-resolution images, plus web-ready copies, ready for LinkedIn, internal comms, PR, and sponsor reporting. If you want event photography that looks premium, natural, and effortless, I’d love to cover it for you.

Headshot Photography

Choose me as your headshot photographer for a calm, confidence-building experience that brings out a natural, approachable version of you. My headshots capture more than a good angle, they communicate presence, personality, and professionalism, without feeling stiff or over-posed. Whether you need a polished LinkedIn profile, consistent team headshots, or personal branding images with a bit more character, I’ll guide you with clear direction so you look like yourself on your best day.

​

With flattering light, clean composition, and consistent edits, you’ll receive headshots ready for websites, proposals, press, and social. If you want premium headshots that feel relaxed and genuinely you, I’d love to work together.

​

You’ll receive a polished set of professionally edited images in high-resolution and web-ready formats, ready for press releases, websites, LinkedIn, proposals, and internal communications. I work efficiently, give clear direction when needed, and keep the shoot calm and organised, so you get content that feels authentic and performs.

Wedding Photography

I cover wedding photography across the Midlands and the Cotswolds, creating natural, story-led images that let you relive the feel of your day, not just how it looked. As a wedding photographer, I work with a calm, documentary approach, capturing the real moments, the nerves, the belly laughs, the quiet glances, and the chaos on the dance floor, without turning everything into a staged shoot. With over 15 years’ experience, I’m confident in any light, quick to anticipate what’s coming next, and unobtrusive when it matters most. You’ll get beautifully composed portraits when we need them, but more importantly, you’ll receive a gallery full of atmosphere, connection, and the little details you didn’t even notice at the time.

Editorial & Travel Photography

I cover travel photography across the UK and abroad, creating natural, story-led images that capture the atmosphere of a place, the people, the light, and the details that make a destination feel alive. As a travel photographer, I bring strong travel photography skills built on years of working fast in changing conditions, from golden hour landscapes to busy street scenes and interiors. I’ve photographed destinations for travel magazines, and I also shoot stock photography exclusively, producing clean, versatile imagery that works across campaigns, editorial, and digital. I’m organised, unobtrusive, and confident on location, whether I’m working solo or alongside a team. I’m currently open to commissions, and I offer a very competitive rate without compromising on quality, storytelling, or delivery.

Frequently asked questions

What’s included in your event photography coverage? Professional, documentary-style coverage of the full story of your event, arrival and registration, speakers and presentations, networking and candid moments, branded details, sponsor activations, awards, and group shots where needed. I shoot with dual camera bodies and professional lighting when appropriate, and deliver a full set of carefully edited, high-resolution images via a private online gallery, ready for marketing and internal use.

Can you supply images sized for LinkedIn, press releases and internal comms? Yes. You’ll receive high-resolution images for press and print, and I can also supply web and social-ready versions on request, including crops that work well for LinkedIn, websites, email newsletters and internal communications.

Are you available UK-wide, including London? Yes. I’m Birmingham-based, but I work UK-wide, including London. Travel is simply quoted in, and I’ll confirm logistics in advance so the day runs smoothly.

Do you cover conferences, exhibitions and awards at the NEC and Birmingham venues? Yes. I regularly cover conferences, exhibitions, awards, launches and charity events across Birmingham and the West Midlands, including major venues such as the NEC, plus hotels, arenas, museums and conference centres across the city.

How fast is turnaround for corporate events and PR shoots? Most corporate events and PR shoots are delivered within 3 days. For multi-day conferences or very large galleries, turnaround is typically 3-5 business days, and I can also provide a small set of same-day highlights for social or press if needed.

Do you offer drone photography, and what permissions are needed? Yes, I can provide drone photography and aerial video where it’s permitted. Requirements depend on the location, nearby buildings, people, and local restrictions. For many commercial sites, permission from the landowner and a safe flight plan are needed, and some areas (near airports or restricted zones) may require additional approvals or may not be flyable. If you share the location and brief, I’ll advise what’s possible and what permissions would be required.

I regularly book Aaron for events photography in the Midlands. Aaron is a fantastic photographer with a commercial eye; he understands complex briefs and goes out of his way to take the perfect shot. Some of his photos are the best in our portfolio of event photography taken across the country. I highly recommend him.
