Mr & Mrs Turner – West Retford Hotel | Wedding Photographer Mansfield

I first met Kelsey when she was Maid of Honor at Roisin & Dan's wedding last year (you can read about that here), so it was lovely when she asked if I would be her Mansfield Wedding Photographer too. Dan is a big fan of all things Marvel, so it came as no suprise [...]

FAQs: What do you do after my session? A portrait photographers workflow

After a session, it takes me roughly 1-2 weeks to turnaround your images and have them ready to view. I often get asked 'what do you actually do to the images', or 'how much editing do they need' so I thought i'd write this little guide to give you an insight to my workflow [...]

Although I shoot all of my paid work using digital equipment, it's rare that my personal photographs are taken using anything other than traditional film emulsions.
