The person behind the camera

Hi, I’m Adrian.

Documentary wedding photographer

I have spent fifteen years behind a camera, and weddings are still my favourite thing to photograph. I work quietly in the background, so you can get on with your day and I can catch the real moments as they happen: the nerves, the tears, the laughing, and the little things you never knew were going on.
