HEY!
I'm Josh,
A Herefordshire based Wedding Photographer
You deserve to actually enjoy your wedding day, not spend it trapped in a never-ending photoshoot.
I’m Josh, a documentary-style wedding photographer based in Hereford. I specialize in capturing the real, unposed, and honest moments of a celebration—the kind of photos that take you straight back to how the day actually felt, not just how it looked.
My approach is primarily “fly-on-the-wall.” I spend the majority of the day focusing on the loud laughs, the quiet glances, and the split-second emotions while you focus entirely on your guests.
I know that most people feel a bit uneasy at the thought of “posed” photos. That’s why, for the portraits and family groups, I ditch the stiff, awkward lineups. Instead, I keep things moving with a fun, relaxed energy that feels more like a hang-out than a formal production. We’ll get those beautiful, intentional shots you’ll want on your wall, but we’ll do it in a way that feels natural and, most importantly, gets you back to your party quickly.
I’m lucky enough to call the Wye Valley and the Midlands my “home turf,” but my camera and I are always ready to head further afield. Whether you’re planning a rustic barn wedding down the road, a city celebration elsewhere in the UK, or a destination wedding abroad, I’m there.
Let’s tell your story, naturally.
Capturing your love story,
one frame at a time!
what do I offer?
Candid Documentary Storytelling
I’m here to capture the heart and soul of your day without making you feel like you’re on a film set. No stiff posing, no awkward staring into the lens – just real moments as they actually happen.
The Family Portraits
We’ll grab those essential shots for the mantelpiece - parents, siblings, and the grandparents. I keep these fast as possible so you can get back to your guests (and the bar) as quickly as possible.
Just The Two Of You
We’ll sneak away for a moment so you can settle into the joy of the day while I guide you through some relaxed, natural portraits.
No rigid posing or awkward directions - just the two of you wandering, chatting, and enjoying a quiet pause together. It becomes a little breather in the middle of the celebration, and I get to capture the connection that’s already there.
The Real Stuff
This is where I spend 90% of my time. I work discreetly in the background to catch the belly laughs, the heartfelt hugs, and the chaotic dance floor moments that you’ll want to remember forever.

The Essentials | Included with Every Wedding
No matter which package you choose, my commitment to telling your story stays the same. Every booking includes:
The Pre-Wedding Consultation: A relaxed chat (over coffee or online) a few weeks before the big day to walk through your timeline, finalise your “must-have” group shots and make sure I know exactly what matters most to you.
The 48-Hour Sneak Peek: You shouldn’t have to wait weeks to see the magic. I’ll send over a curated selection of “headline” shots within 48 hours so you can share the news while the buzz is still high.

Full Printing Rights: These are your memories. You have total freedom to print, post, and share your photos whenever and wherever you like—no hidden watermarks, ever.

testimonials
His friendly and calming nature makes Josh a fantastic wedding photographer. I had no doubt in my mind that he would do our wedding day justice.
Josh captured exactly what we wanted, the intimate moments just for us and the more formal family portraits for treasured memories.
Thank you Josh, we are so grateful. " Mr & Mrs Hallett
Josh was friendly and helpful throughout the day and was always looking for great moments. He never got in the way and you didn’t realise he was there.
The quality of the photos that came back were outstanding and now we have these for the rest of our life’s. Absolutely recommended Josh to anyone seeking a photographer. Great quality and great person to work with."
