Why choose me as your photographer at The Coniston hotel?
As a Yorkshire based wedding photographer, I have loved working at The Coniston Hotel. It’s one of my favourite venues in the Yorkshire region. The staff and venue itself is incredible and it oozes class.
I’m a down to earth bloke who reckons he takes nice photos, loves a laugh and plenty of banter. On your wedding day I want you to be present with your guests, not stuck with me the whole day. I’ll complete your formal photographs in around 20 mins, so you’re free to roam around your venue and enjoy it! We’ll do a selection of couple shots if you want them, hopefully just after the ceremony and then golden hour.
Other than your formal images I’d describe myself as a documentary style photographer so I’ll capture the day as it unfolds. You might even see me with the drone out soaring above Wortley Hall and giving you a Birds Eye view. By 7pm I’m usually having a dance with you, capturing all the candid moments and blending in with the guests, whilst preparing for your first dance. People book me as I’m so laid back. You won’t even notice me there half the time, which allows people to be relaxed and therefore I get the best photos as they’re off guard!
If you like what you’ve read so far, my prices are transparent on my website and I look forward to seeing you at such an amazing venue!
