CAMBRIDGE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
NATURAL. AUTHENTIC. TIMELESS
Hi, I’m Damien, I am an award winning Cambridge wedding photographer covering the whole of the UK & Europe.
I create stylish wedding images that capture the atmosphere of your wedding day without the need for awkward posing or endless disruptions to your day.
My primary focus is always to produce emotive, natural looking, documentary wedding images that take you right back to how you felt in the moment.
If you don’t like the idea of spending hours in awkward, unnatural looking poses, or generally feel uncomfortable about having your photo taken you’re in the right place.
For most of your wedding day, I will blend seamlessly into the background, shooting in a documentary style, so I can capture all the moments of joy during your wedding celebrations – even the bits you missed. All while you have the time of your lives.
Tender moments, belly laughs, tears of joy and all out partying. I’m a wedding photographer who will tell your story with photos that are brimming with emotion and personality.
I’ll create beautiful yet authentic couple photos that will look and feel natural and will stand the test of time. You won’t have large parts of your wedding day taken up with awkward or uncomfortable posing that doesn’t reflect you as a couple.
If you want your day documented with timeless images but minimum disruption, or simply dislike the idea of spending ages posing for the camera, then I am definitely the Wedding photographer for you…

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY THAT TELLS YOUR UNIQUE STORY
My approach to wedding photography is relaxed and informal, with minimum disruption to the flow of the wedding day. I won’t take over, boss everyone around, interfere or spoil the vibe of your wedding.
I will blend in seamlessly so you can carry on enjoying the day of your dreams without you having to think about your wedding photographer, all safe in the knowledge it will all be captured genuinely, artistically and beautifully.
Of course, I will photograph all of those “must have” big moments throughout the day; walking the aisle, saying “I do”, emotional speeches and the first dance, but my happy couples often tell me it’s those in-between moments, the special personal details and the emotions expressed by your most loved guests, that become the most cherished and valued images as time passes.
You certainly don’t have to follow traditions, I love weddings of all shapes, sizes colours and places. Some of my favourite weddings have been the most unusual, unconventional and non traditional weddings that I’ve been involved with. Also, just because I am a Cambridge Wedding Photographer does not mean I won’t travel – I shoot all over the UK. So, wherever your wedding is, I can shoot it.
DOCUMENTARY WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY WITH MINIMAL POSING
I would best describe my style of wedding photography as a documentary with a hint of the editorial, resulting in images with an authentic story telling feel sitting alongside beautiful portraits that will be as emotive your 25th wedding anniversary as the day you first view them.
For virtually all of your wedding day I will blend into the background, documenting the day as it unfolds, with you and your guests having the best time ever. I do love to capture natural but authentic looking wedding images of you as a couple too – but without you having to feel awkward or unnatural and spend ages away from your guests.
I typically take 15 minutes out of the day at where you can walk around the venue while I capture some creative shots of the two of you looking awesome together. Nothing cheesy, forced or uncomfortable though, I can offer some guidance on how to look your best, but promise to keep everything as natural and simple as possible and none of those over stylised, posed portraits you may have seen elsewhere.
You’ll simply spend time together being yourselves and I just tag along to capture it, it’s that easy . I use the surroundings and the light to create natural images that you’ll want as a centrepiece to the memory of your big day, but you’ll barely remember a photographer was present.
If the weather and light allow for it, we’ll also take 10 minutes during the ‘golden hour’ before sundown to get some killer sunset portrait shots too.

CAMBRIDGE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
I’ve been a wedding photographer in Cambridge for 5 years with around half of my weddings in Cambridge and the surrounding area and the half at other amazing venues all over the UK. I charge no extra for travel, so wherever your planning on tying the knot – I can be your photographer.
Cambridge is my home city – I know it inside out. I love the place’s beauty, chilled out feel, and it’s rich history and architecture. The stunning college grounds, picturesque green spaces and the gentle, lazy river Cam, all make for an inspirational playground for a wedding photographer.
I feel so lucky to be a Cambridge wedding photographer and to be able to shoot weddings in my lovely home city and the surrounding local area as often as I do.
CAMBRIDGE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER AROUND THE UK AND ABROAD
One of best things about being a wedding photographer is that I get to travel and do my job in so many varied and fabulous locations. As a Cambridge Wedding photographer around half of my weddings take place away from my local area, Cambridge, Ely, Peterborough and into London. I have worked in some beautiful places all around the UK including lots of East Anglia, London and the South East, the South coast and the New Forest and The West Country. I’ve also had the privilege of traveling to Tuscany in Italy and The Greek islands for incredible destination weddings.
