Digital and Film Wedding Photographer covering Sussex, Hampshire, Surrey and Beyond.
Hi! I’m Toby, and I am a digital and film wedding photographer. I shoot a combination of analogue and digital pictures to give you a beautiful record of your day.
Over the past 20 years I have worked as a wedding photographer for hundreds of happy couples.
My aim to create a unique set of pictures for each couple I work with. I am always looking for new ideas for photographs. What excites me is creativity and a continual search for new inspiration. So if you have quirky wedding planned – bring it on!
I try to create natural authentic imagery that tells the story of your day and your relationship with warmth and even a bit of humour. I use film because I love its tones and classic elegance. It’s the medium that I produce my favourite images on. I mix digital in where I think it will do a better job and to offer colour alternatives if I am shooting black and white film.
“We LOVE the pictures!! Thank you for capturing the day so well, we really appreciate everything you did to make us feel so comfortable and happy.” Molly & Will
How I work
Over my 20 year photographic career I have learned three things. Empathy, intentionality and the value of a good pair of shoes!
As your photographer, I’ll blend quietly into the background, capturing natural, candid emotions as they happen.
I’ll step in to direct and organise the group shots so everything runs smoothly and doesn’t take too long, no endless posing.
My priority is that you enjoy your wedding day. I know if that happens, there will be loads of great shots for me to capture.
Meeting Me
I love to talk with potential clients before they book me for their wedding.
I try to make every set of wedding photos I shoot unique. That begins by getting to know each couple I work with.
Most of my clients have never hired a photographer, and don’t really know what is involved or what to expect. My job is to listen to your vision and make it a reality.
I am here to answer all of your questions and will do my best to make sure you have all the information you need to make an informed choice. Just get in touch to make an appointment.

FAQ's
Most peak time Saturdays start to get booked up around 12 months in advance, but is always worth enquiring even if your booking is quite last minute, especially if you have a smaller midweek wedding I might be able to squeeze in.
When I book in a couple, I always agree to cover a fixed list of events. Usually bridal preparations until half an hour after the first dance. The timings are approximate because weddings can often run late through no fault of the bride and groom. The last thing I want is for couples to worry that I am going to leave before a key event.
After the wedding is over, it is time I hand develop and scan all black and white films personally and take colour film to my lab in Brighton. Digital files are backed up and uploaded to Lightroom along with the film scans. I pick out the good ones and start editing them. In terms of man hours, this accounts for the bulk of the work for any wedding photographer. Each wedding takes a week of work to edit properly. Turnaround of images is usually around 4 weeks but I am happy to supply a small selection a few days after the wedding if you want to post on social media.

About Me
I’m Toby and I live in the historic city of Chichester with my wife and family. We moved down from London just over fifteen years ago and can’t imagine living anywhere else now. I was lucky enough to grow up in a pub so I am used to getting on with people from all walks of life, working funny hours and standing up all day!
I have always had a passion for creativity, but more than anything else I think photography is about making connections. If people don’t enjoy working with you, it doesn’t really matter how good the pictures are.
I studied photojournalism at Cardiff University in the mid 90’s and have been working in various genres of photography ever since. I have been a Sussex Wedding Photographer for 15 years and love the challenge of a fast paced environment where no two days are the same.
