Love, joy & Intimacy

Hey! I'm Ollie...

I’m an award -winning wedding photographer residing in the Richmond area, living with my beautiful wife, Nix and our little boy Sebby!

I grew up in sunny Frinton-on-sea, if you haven't been...go - it has the best beach; I literally spent all my summer holidays on the sand before I went to university in Canterbury. It was there that I met Nix at the same church!

I'm a huge people person, so you'll probably see me making friends and chatting to your guests on your wedding day. I love being in and amongst the atmosphere of weddings, sporting a huge permanent smile on my face as I take photos!

If you want some more little facts about me, keep scrolling down...

I'm a people person, Crossfit fanatic, church goer, sport lover, mushroom hater and a flip flop wearer.

Harry Potter is my jam! I love encouraging others, trying new coffee shops and watching The Office!

As a kid, I wanted to be an impressionist when my aspirations to become a footballer never came true (sad times!)

Now, I'm a sucker for creativity, with a passion for weddings!

I'm an Author!

I wrote a book called "Cross The Line", where I interviewed a bunch of Christian footballers and made it into a little book. You can buy it here…

I Love Crossfit!

When I’m not at a wedding, I can usually be found in my CrossFit gym.

Controversial...

I’m a big Norwich City fan, I love both the UK and US series of The Office and I’m a certified coffee snob.

The Beach is my Home

I grew up by the seaside and spent my summer holidays on the sand. I really miss it!

The Body Coach

I’ve worked for Joe Wicks, (aka The Body Coach) for over 5 years! He’s such a good dude.

Fave Film of All time

I’m a bit obsessed with Richard Curtis films! About Time is my favourite film OF ALL TIME!

Here's a little snap shot for you...

So, you’re here because you want to know a little bit more about me.

How i got to this point

Well, it’s all because of my wife Nix really. She gave me my first ever camera and from that very second, I couldn’t put it down and I haven’t really ever since…

I haven’t always been a wedding photographer. I was working for Joe Wicks aka The Body Coach as part of his support coaching team for 6 years. I used to help clients on his health and fitness plan get LEAAANNN!

When Nix gave me that first Canon EOS 100D, I just felt like I had such passion and energy to go out and shoot images day-in day-out and it’s lead me to this moment now, with you reading this looking for a wedding photographer for your big day!

As someone who doesn’t enjoy having his picture taken, I really try to help couples relax and be themselves; nothing staged or too posed. I want you to be 100% yourselves and I think these always make for the most authentic and heartfelt images. Natural and candid, my aim is to capture moments of: love, joy and intimacy on your special day.

I'd love to meet you and chat about your wedding day, hear the story of how you met and just generally hang out to see if you think I'm the right photographer for you. For now, have a mooch around my site and hopefully we will meet / speak very soon.
