I'm Will
I'm a wedding photographer in Hinckley, Leicestershire. I have a fantastic family and two beautiful (often grubby) kids called Sienna & Dylan.
Aside from my devotion to weddings, I love pretty much all sports and Sienna, Dylan and I are massive Aston Villa fans.
My kids are my life and without them I'd be lost. They are truly the most inspirational and weird little humans I have ever met! I'm pretty sure some of that weirdness has rubbed off on me in my fun approach to photography.
It's so important that you actually like your photographer
Here's a Bombshell
I Don't Love Photography
Shock horror, I know! I'll try to explain.
I LOVE PEOPLE. They crack me up, even the grumpy ones. But I love meeting new people. The reason I love this job is the opportunity to meet lovely people, understand them on a deeper level than they may be expecting and exceeding their expectations in what I produce for them.
I don't love walking around a party clicking a button. That's simply my tool of choice. The truth is that everyone likes to be told they're good at something, and that bit at the end when I get to see someone's reaction to something I've produced gives me SUCH A BUZZ. And yes, when I get the bride (and groom) crying, mission accomplished!
My Style
I don't consider myself a "traditional photographer". I hate asking people to smile and
I WILL NEVER ASK YOU TO SAY "CHEESE"
I hate having my photo taken too, so trust me, I get it. I love to capture genuine moments of fun, laughter and spontaneity. That's where true emotion lies, not getting people to line up like soldiers saying "sausages".
Be yourself, it's your special day. Hug tight, kiss slow & dance like nobody's watching. It'll make you proud, it'll make you cringe and I'll be there to capture it all.
Here's some advice
How to find the Right Photographer FOR YOU
My clients certainly seem to think I'm good at what I do, but of course I'm not the only wedding photographer in Leicester. So how do you choose? Finding the right photographer is a lot like finding the right builder. Stay with me on this.
You're planning your dream kitchen extension. It's been years in the making but you're finally both ready to commit. You think you know what style you like but you need a bit of guidance from someone whose built kitchen extensions before.
So you Google it, and then check out a few websites looking mostly at the pictures of what they've done before. You check their reviews; check their social media to make sure they're real humans.
And then call them. I repeat, CALL THEM !
It's so important that you actually like your builder. You need to know, like and trust them as you are entrusting them with your house. Okay, I'm tired of this analogy now, but you get my point.
Find me, stalk me and if you like me, call me!!!
I love talking about weddings (and Aston Villa) more than anything in the world.
And another point!
Why should your wedding photographs look like everyone else's?
You guys are unique and I'm sure you'll want your photographs to reflect that.
So how do we achieve this? Well, if you like my style and approach, you know what's coming.....Call me. Let's have a chat. It's the age-old way of getting to know each other and if after 5 minutes of being on the phone with me you think I'm an intolerable berk, then no worries. But at least you'll know.
On the other hand, if everything sounds great, then great, let's book you in. I'll then send you details of how to pay your £100 deposit and that's a pretty big box ticked. BOOM !

When selecting a photographer, always ask to see a full wedding shoot. Anyone can put together a gallery of 20 amazing images from 20 different weddings. Truly skilled photographers will create an amazing gallery from each individual wedding.
I take a huge amount of pride in the diverse range images I'm able to create in just one wedding.
This is a select few from a very special day and it can also be found in my Wedding Catalogue.
thank you linda & michael
Your families were so amazing. I just had to keep my eyes peeled and tried to keep up!
