Hello! I'm Joe, a professional photographer based in Wales, available for hire throughout the UK.
On a task supporting the RAF
I'm a Royal Air Force Reservist with 7644 Squadron, serving as one of their vis- comms / media specialists. This role has further sharpened my ability to tell stories through images and handle high-pressure situations.
I've been into photography ever since high-school when I won 1st place in a regional photography competition, awarding me my first ever camera, a Sony Cybershot (which I still have somewhere).
I have a degree in Photography and over 5 years of commercial photography experience. And whilst I mainly focus on shooting weddings, I'm available for just about any photo job, get in touch!
How do I photograph a wedding?
At weddings, my aim is to blend in seamlessly and capture small, intimate moments that often go unnoticed. I believe these are the memories you'll cherish the most, less of the typical "grip and grins". But when it does come to the posed shots, I'll keep it natural, I'll never force you to do anything that you don't want to do. I see photography as a collaboration, I don't "take" photos, we make them.
So, what happens after I've photographed your wedding?
I head home, put the kettle on, and start backing up the digital files so they're safe. Once they're in two locations (it's always good to have contingencies) I have a quick look at them and organise folders to start editing the next day. I tend to not start editing on the same day of the event as I feel it helps having fresh eyes. My edits usually take around 2 weeks and are then sent to you either via digital download or USB.
