20 Dickens Wynd, Durham, DH1 3QY

A great photograph is both a powerful way to keep your most special memories alive through the decades and a beautiful work of art.

A professional photographer with over 17 years of experience, I am absolutely passionate about the work I do. I consider every job to be a privilege, and never tire of looking at the world through my lens, finding that magical, perfect shot that fully evokes the mood of a single, fleeting moment, preserving it forever.

I specialise in shooting weddings, bridal boudoir and portraits, approaching every commission with enthusiasm, curiosity and creativity. One of the great joys of the photographer’s life is the chance to be reminded over and over again how every person has their own unique beauty, and I consider it my job to capture that with the camera.

For an observer of human life, there is no better occasion than a wedding, when the atmosphere is one of excitement, joy and celebration and everybody is looking and feeling their best. I find people and relationships endlessly fascinating and love creating eye-catching, intimate images that show authentic interactions and natural emotion; the stolen glances, the spontaneous laughter and the choked-back tears. In 2017 alone, I had the privilege of shooting 57 spectacular weddings around the UK.

I have the technical skills and artistic flair to create stunning images that you will love, whether you are looking for a show-stopping portraits you will be proud to display on your walls or a breath-taking wedding album that tells the full story of your special day. Please get in touch to discuss your needs and how I can help preserve memories for you.

Malcolm & Julie

"Tim was a last minute hire before the big event. But we couldn't have selected better if we'd taken 6 months deciding. He made all the guests feel at ease and made the photos a fun event. Always happy and friendly. Very easy to work with. Tim was punctual and did everything he said he would. Very reliable. Thanks for all your ideas and efforts."

Elizabeth & John

"We are sure that to find a better photographer for our wedding would be impossible!! Tim communicated regularly before our big day. On the day he was unobtrusive, capturing every element of our very special church ceremony without distracting anyone. The resulting photos are amazing - we never noticed him at work. We are delighted with all the pictures. Tim comes very highly recommended"
