A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Shaun, and I’m addicted to Cherry Pepsi MAX

I always say that your wedding day isn’t about me, and I don’t like being the centre of attention. But you also don’t want a complete stranger turning upon your wedding day, so here goes…

I live in Sheffield with my wife Gemma, and two boys Rex and Arthur. I've photographed over 300 weddings now - which means I’ve seen everything from owl ring bearers to ‘flower bros’, and from singing waiters to casino nights!

I've seen it all, and nothing phases me, but I still get excited turning up to every single wedding! I know how important it is to have the right person there capturing it all - someone you trust to document the day without turning it into a performance. That’s my approach; natural, comfortable and real - no cheesy posing, no nonsense.

My love for photography started with capturing real, everyday memories - nothing staged or scripted - and that’s how I work.

When I’m not at weddings, I’m usually watching one of our two boys play ice hockey. I love watching them compete, and it’s given me a little hobby in sports photography too.

Some of these photos are a few years old now, but having kids and watching them grow really puts things into perspective. Photography has become even more important to me because of that; preserving those fleeting moments that, before you know it, have passed.

Summer’s my favourite time of year - weddings, sunshine and our pizza oven in full swing. If you’re having pizza at your wedding, I’m all yours!

I love films; there’s nothing quite like switching off in a cinema for two hours of escapism. As a photographer, I love a good bit of cinematography too; although you’ll still find me enjoying some MCU and Disney ‘for the kids’!

I’m also a big fan of The Office (both versions, but the UK one is absolute perfection). I’m pretty sure that’s where my love of documentary-style storytelling first kicked in. The great thing about it is that, when you first watch it, you genuinely feel like you’re watching a documentary.

I like things to feel real - natural, unforced and unscripted - and that’s exactly how I approach my photography.

If you think I might be a good fit for your wedding, I’d love to hear from you. Especially if pizza is involved!
