Hertfordshire Wedding Photographer

Hi there and thanks for stopping by. Are you searching for a wedding photographer in Hertfordshire? I’m Glen and I am a documentary wedding photographer based in Stevenage.

Weddings are one of the opportunities you have to gather your favourite people and celebrate the most important thing of all…love. It is a special sort of magic on a wedding day; the emotions, the quiet glances, the relationships, the laughter, the tears and the joy.

You want a photographer who can capture all that in a genuine way; no need for awkward posing or staged moments. Someone who can fit in with your guests and make your family feel at ease. A photographer to capture your wedding in a beautiful but natural way.

As a photographer, my mission is simple – to capture every precious moment of your wedding day with as little intrusion as possible. I believe that the best moments are the ones that happen naturally, so you won’t catch me staging or directing – I prefer to let the magic unfold on its own.

Whether it’s the look on your partner’s face as you walk down the aisle, the laughter of your friends and family during the speeches, or the stolen moments of affection between you and your sweetheart, I’ll be there to capture it all.

And when it comes to delivering unforgettable images, I pour my heart and soul into every photo, ensuring that you have a treasure trove of memories to look back on for years to come. I believe that your wedding day is one of the most special days of your life, and it deserves to be celebrated and documented in the most beautiful way possible.

My style is natural and honest. People often ask me where we know each other from as I come across like a friend on the wedding day. This is a huge compliment to me. I blend in and celebrate your day with you. I want to portray you the way you are. No awkward posing necessary. I’ll capture you best when you feel relaxed, happy and totally yourselves.

I like to blend in but also get to know you and your guests, so it feels like a friend is taking your photos (which is what many couples have said). Every wedding is unique and I love to work with my couples to make sure that they get a set of photos that truly reflect their day. It's a huge privilege which I never take for granted.

On the day I’ll be more like a friend rather than a professional with a massive camera in your face. This approach allows you to be completely yourself and relaxed around me and allows me to capture the best and most authentic moments, as everyone feels happy and at ease with me and my camera around.

I'm looking to capture the real feel of your day, not create a staged photoshoot. When you get your images back, I want you to be reminded of how your day felt. I'm keeping an eye out for those glints in a loved one’s eyes, those big hugs, cheeky grins, sneaky tears and cackles of laughter.

A wedding day is full of so many emotions, and I want to get those on camera. It's all about capturing the moment for me. I believe these are the images you'll treasure in years to come.

I love a good sunset and I'm always keeping an eye on the light. I'll let you know if I've spotted a good opportunity for some time out in the evening to get a few more shots with some stunning light. There’s something pretty magical about a good sunset and taking some time out to enjoy one on a wedding day. My couples always comment on what a great part of the day it was and the images we got as a result of escaping for a few quiet moments.

I care deeply about your wedding memories, and it is my mission to make sure you remember them in the best possible way. I individually process every photo. This is colour correction, brightness and contrast, straightening and cropping, and using subtle editing to focus on the subject of the image…everything I can do from my 30 years editing experience, to create photos that look their absolute best.

If you want to have wedding photographs that don’t feel awkward, let you spend as much time with your guests whilst still getting all the important photos and memories, big and small, and have so much fun and the best day ever whilst doing so, you have come to the right place.

Drop me a message to see if your date is still free.
