Hi, my name’s Tom, and I’ve been shooting weddings since 2012.

I took photography at A-level after I realised that to be a personal trainer, you had to learn about science.

I now photograph luxury weddings across Kent and Cambridge in an editorial documentary style.

Nikon D850 – this camera is a workhorse! I barely need to change a battery during a full wedding day; it copes in the heat, and I like the weight in my hands.

Nikon F90XT – This is a very reliable 35mm film camera I’ve been using since college, which adds to my documentary style. I use Kodak Gold 200 film.

Olympus Trip XB3 – a simple point-and-shoot 35mm film camera that is fun to give anybody on a wedding day for candids.

Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 – this lens barely ever leaves my camera. It is excellent for portraits, details, scene setting and candids.

Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 – I rarely get this one out except for head shots and huge reception spaces.

Nikon 28-105 f/2.8/4 – this analogue lens has a pretty good autofocus, but I mostly use it at 28mm to get the maximum aperture.

Nikon Speedlight SB800 – my small, compact flash works great as a trigger to bigger lights if in a studio setting, but is also super helpful for small light output when you’re working with wide apertures.

Godox X2T Flash Trigger – reliable and straightforward to fire flash.

I use a Sekonic L-308S light meter to take precise light readings, ensuring accurate exposure for my studio work.

Desired Leather Camera Straps – I bought these pre-vegan, and it feels such a shame to throw them away. They are super reliable for holding my hefty cameras throughout a wedding day, and they are of such high quality with loads of style!

I use Lexar Pro CFEX cards to back up all images for a wedding day.

I edit all my work on my iMac using a streamlined workflow that starts with Photo Mechanic for fast and efficient culling. From there, I move into Adobe Lightroom, where I apply my own custom-made presets to give each image a consistent look and feel. For final touches and more detailed adjustments, I use Photoshop to bring out the very best in every photo.

Thanks for reading.
