Hi 👋
I’ve never done one of those ‘face to a name’ posts, so here goes. Here’s a few shots of me – usually out with a camera, whether I’m exploring or with my family.

With wedding season wrapping up, I’ve been reflecting on this year – just over a decade since I shot my first wedding back in 2013. It feels good to know I’m still here for the right reasons, and it’s been amazing to receive so many 5-star Google reviews. Hearing that my couples are so happy with their photos means the world to me and gives me even more energy to keep pushing what I do.

After all this time, I haven’t grown tired of my approach or style – I’m ever-evolving, always learning, and feeling more inspired than ever. Each wedding still feels fresh because, at the heart of it, my focus is always on the people and how I can make them feel in those moments. I always think about that quote, ‘People don’t remember what you said or did; they remember how you made them feel.’
When I’m doing my job right, I’m there not just to capture moments but to create a space where people feel comfortable, celebrated, and like their true selves.

I’ve got a bit of a break now, so you’ll probably find me photographing parties at the London Library with Helena Bonham Carter (name drop! Such a wild job to have), hanging out with local families for family shoots, spending more time with my own family in St Leonards, and researching new alt-country music every Friday at @musicsnotdead in the De La Warr. I’ll be riding along the seafront when it’s not raining and have a workshop booked that’s going to inspire the heck out of me.
My 2025 season begins in March, and there’s a lot to get ready for.

Any last-minute New Year weddings – hit me up!
And any photographers out there who want to grab a coffee, let’s make it happen!

So... if you're planning your 2025 wedding I have some tips and insider info...
This year, couples are leaning into celebrations that feel real and unforgettable. I’m here to capture every bit of it.

✨ A Whole Weekend of Memories: amylWeddings are expanding into multi-day events, with welcome dinners, poolside gatherings, and easy brunches that bring everyone together. More time for connections, laughter, and relaxed, beautiful moments.

🎞️ Authentic, Unposed Photography: It’s not about stiff poses—it’s about documenting the real, in-between moments. And for those who love a touch of nostalgia, I’m bringing my film camera along to capture the day in a way that feels truly timeless.

💍 Personal Touches Everywhere: Couples are choosing unique details that reflect their personalities, from multiple outfits to custom decor. It’s about creating an atmosphere that’s purely them.

🍽️ Food as a Social Experience: Goodbye, long plated dinners. Think shared tables, tasting stations, and little extras like homemade drinks that keep the energy flowing—and guests mingling! It’s always a joy to photograph the lively, candid moments these meals bring.

If you’re planning a day that’s all about love, laughter, and real moments, let’s chat about creating something amazing together.

Dale is more than you could ever wish for in a photographer, he is a calm and reassuring presence, full of lovely ideas and a great eye for capturing your day in a non-pretenious and completely timeless style.

Ten separate people at our wedding specifically mentioned how incredible they thought he was - our mums absolutely loved him. He is a kind, gentle and reassuring presence on your day and fitted in seamlessly - from helping with buttonholes, advising us on the best way to fit a veil and effortlessly coordinating our bonkers family. My bridesmaid and friend put it perfectly - "at first I thought it would be a bit strange for a random bloke to photograph us while we were getting ready, but within 5 minutes it felt like he was an old friend .."

It does help that in addition to all of this, he's completely reliable, organised and a fantastic communicator, oh yeh and he takes absolutely stunning photos. My mum said they were the nicest wedding photos she had ever seen, because he managed to capture the joy of the day in a totally natural way that felt authentic to us and our loved ones. He doesn't need any more good reviews, but trust me when I say that you will not get any better than Dale "
