Rob brought his trained eye and distinctive style to a family 70th party we had. We chose him specifically as I'd noticed in his previous work that he took a creative approach to group work and clearly captured genuine moments beautifully. He certainly didn't disappoint. It was a pleasure to have him around and he flexed with us as our children variously smiled angelically, pouted or flat out bolted! They photos have a wonderful sense of light and reflect the interactions and relationships beautifully. Thanks very much Rob - our walls will be full of your photos soon! More...

Rob spent a day and a half taking photos to build a library of current images to use on our website, social media and brochures. We have never had such good photos taken before! They captured the care and attention of the teachers and the nurturing nature of the school. We really liked the fact that the photos felt authentic and I am sure that they will make us stand out as a school. More...

I booked Rob to do the photography for a surprise proposal at the Roman Baths. He was excellent from beginning to end. From the pre-photos calls, the shoot itself and the subsequent development of photos. He made both me and my partner feel very comfortable during the whole process and he was willing to go the extra mile to produce stunning photos for us. I would highly recommend Rob. More...

Rob took photos at our golf event at Manor House Golf Club. He was on time, receptive to our ideas and fitted the brief for photos to a tee, providing a great mix of action shot and groups.

This was a gift for my brother and his dog, so I wanted to make sure that it was special. Rob was super friendly during all our interactions and my brother thoroughly enjoyed the photoshoot. There was some concern that his dog might be a bit excitable and unruly during the photoshoot, but Rob managed to get some wonderful shots. Would definitely recommend him to any other besotted pet owners! More...

We are so glad that we found Rob to take the photos of our wedding. From the very first phone call through to getting our photos (and beyond! ) his communication and enthusiasm have been just brilliant. He knew exactly how to put us at ease and captured our big day beautifully- not easy on the hottest day of the year with no shade! From getting ready, the ceremony, group shots and photos we didn't even know were being taken, we are so grateful that we will always be able to look back on our special day with such fond memories. We were so pleased to have received a mix of contemporary styles, action shots and more formal photos- something to keep all family and friends, young and old, happy! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rob to anyone and hope to cross his path again in the future. More...

Rob came to take photos of a group of children during an activity they were unfamiliar with. He was great at allowing them to be themselves and relax resulting in some truly natural pictures of the children. He captured their faces perfectly and I love their happy smiley faces!
He also captured the surroundings in such great detail the photos are just beautiful.
Thankyou.

Now I’ve got an up to date headshot I feel really happy to direct people to my social media profiles and I’m confident to start building my website. The planning beforehand and the investment that we made in selecting the right colours, clothes and spectacles made all the difference to the photos as did choosing the shots together on the day. I have used other photographers in the past who made no effort to reflect the "real me" and I believe this is where Rob has the edge as a professional photographer. I am thrilled with the results.

Perfect! The photos, scenery and light captured by Rob are unique and truly reflect us, we were in our element in the woodland next to the water.
The warmth and depth of the photos mean you can almost step into them. Rob instantly put us at ease and gave us the space to feel as natural as possible.

Rob photographed my dogs, a spaniel and an English pointer. He spent a long time taking the photos using a variety of locations and making sure the dogs were happy and relaxed. I am very pleased with the photos. The dogs look very natural and relaxed in all the pictures and they showed them sitting and in action. The hardest thing was making a decision as they were all so lovely. Rob spent a lot of time helping us choose the right photos for where we are planning to hang them which is also very important.

Following our recent engagement shoot with Rob, we're now even more excited for our wedding next summer. He really knew how to put us at ease and took natural photos that don't look too "posed" or "forced" which was very important to us, but with an artistic edge that friends and family have also commented on. Rob is easy to talk to, responds very quickly to messages and arranges phone calls at times that suit us (including evenings so as not to interfere with working hours!)

Q&As

Light, moment and emotion. Natural, relaxed photos happen when we plan the shoot and get to know each other before hand!

Tell me about your family and your wedding?
What style of photography do you like?
Is there any type of photography you don't like?
Digital files or album or both?
Have you seen my website?

Lots of things: when people see how great they can look in photos it builds their confidence, when people say that a photo sums up and captures a persons character, anticipating that something will happen and capturing it when it does , seeing people happy with their photos. When people see an album of natural photos of themselves. It brings back real emotions and it gives them a real boost.

Helping people preserve their memories for their kids to share and enjoy with them each time they look at a photo on their wall.

Everyone's story is different. My approach is centred around you and your story. Photography should be real and fun and not about posing for hours for pictures!

Services

I’m Rob and I am Gloucestershire wedding photographer though I do travel throughout the UK. Weddings are stories. Filled with laughter, emotions, tears. Each wedding is unique. My job is to pick out the magical details so that when you look back you will remember exactly why you smiled,laughed,sighed …….. even cried.

Great family portraits start with Imagination, patience and an appetite for fun! I'm all about creating the right atmosphere at a family photo shoot where everyone can relax and be themselves. My approach is centred around you and the things you love doing together. Bug hunting, splashing, blowing bubbles or simply relaxing in your home or a nearby park. Real expressions showing connections between those you love. Moments captured as you enjoy yourselves and absolutely no posing for ages with me directing you!
