Laughter is the best medicine, and the key to the best photos. I don’t want you to be bored on your big day, my goal is to get the job done while we have some fun.
Hi, I’m Fabio and if you’ve made it this far then I guess my approach has caught your eye. I’m super excited and humbled you are interested in me photographing your special day – I truly love what I do and genuinely enjoy giving people memories that last a lifetime.
To give the best to the couples I work with, I only take on a limited number of weddings each year.
It’s important to find someone who fits your needs! so let’s see how I do things!

Dogs are usually my favourite guests, no offence to your family! If you have a pooch that’s your pride and joy, or any animal for that matter, furry friends are always a pleasure.
10 ways to describe my approach
How many weddings have you been to where you have no recollection of the photographer? That’s not me. If your guests are still referring to me at the end of the day as “The Photographer” instead of “Fabio” then I’ve failed. I love when your guests feel they can call on me any time they want a photo.

Bridesmaids and groomsmen are often some of my favourite shots to have fun with. Lighting smoke grenades, spraying prosecco, fighting for the bouquet, or even launching the groom – it’s all a yes from me!
10 ways to describe my approach
The classic shots are classics for a reason, so they’re always top priority. But I love trying new things and making any specific shots you love come to life. Nothing is too adventurous for me… I’ve been known to stand in a river to get that perfect angle before.

If you’re not a fan of posing for photos, you’re not alone. Just remember it’s your wedding day and not a photoshoot. I’m not about awkward prom poses, just you being you.
10 ways to describe my approach
I want your day to be the best it can be, and that goes beyond just the photos. As well as being a professional dress-fluffer, any emergency or conundrum I can help with I will – I’ve reattached veils, hopped on a mic to help with announcements, even fetched tampons.

I like to blend in with the guests to grab every moment in its natural form, telling the true story of your day.
Engaging with your family and friends helps everyone to relax around the camera. Getting them to be themselves is where I shine.

My plan of action going into group shots is efficiency – maximum combinations in minimum time. I’m not afraid to wrangle your guests to get you back to your prosecco ASAP.
10 ways to describe my approach
You’ll never have to worry about your wedding photographer with me. I love properly getting to know each of my couples, treating you more like friends than clients. I’m professional in the right places, but generally prefer to take a more informal approach – WhatsApp-ing to iron out any concerns or bounce ideas around – always a quick responder and on hand to speak to if you need.
Your day is one you will remember for eternity and my job on the day is to deliver not just great photos! but a great experience too!
I keep everything efficient, quick, but most importantly. FUN.
I see wedding photography as more of an addition to your day not the sole purpose of it.
When I say I’m fast! I mean fast! I’ll probably get through your family photos in under 15 minutes(So fast the venue often think we haven’t started them)
I’m militant and in control when I need to be! Yet calm as a cucumber when we can sit back and relax.
My sole aim of the day is for you to enjoy your selves yet still having an action packed gallery full of everything to document your day.

I’m 20% posed/80% Natural
And i work fast too, your couple photos will never stem longer than 20 minutes! If there is a nice sunset later i may drag you back out for another 10 minutes later but for me its about ensuring you enjoy the day and getting all those important photos at the same time with no expense spared!
No one is a fan of posing, and the idea of a photoshoot makes people feel uneasy!
I keep it fun, simple and relaxed and before you know it you will feel like a pro, no one has every come away feeling awkward. Infact most people say that wasn’t as bad as i thought!

But I’m there to help your day run smoothly too… that means nagging the venue to get on with things if they are running behind and relaying what’s important to you to them.
My day goes beyond photos and my couples day is always my priority! I’ve saved many disasters!

Family shots area always the longest chore but overtime ive learnt to get these done in record time by being a little militant and fast! but my goal is to get you back to your wedding before you know it.
I’m all about ensuring the photos dont dominate your day without compromising on quality and quantity.
My reviews speak volumes for them selves! (Check them below) – with over 150 weddings in the bag and years of experience i’ve seen it all!
I’m all about being fast and fun but keeping your day on track and ensuring the experience is light hearted and enjoyable and not a chore that you dread to look back on.
My reviews are really the best place to find that out below
aside from the fast turn around of your photos and my natural style of photographs.
My fun personality makes it easy for people to enjoy them selves around me, i wan’t the guests to know me as “Fabio” and not “that man with the camera” so i like to have as much fun as the guests do on the day.
I like to be part of the day and not just an accessory to it and being 100% approachable just makes it easy for the guests to grab me when they want a photo too.
For the couple shots i strive away from the stiff awkward posing but instead let the couples be them selves and just have fun because after all they’re the best photos, whilst i may pose you for some my style is mainly focused on the natural “You being you” photos.
I like to treat a wedding as exactly what it is… a wedding! someones big special day and not just another day taking photographs so i give 200% every time.
I dont dash off after the first dance either (or charge extra for it) i like to stick around until i have captured as much as i can (it’s the part of the day you are most likely to forget after all)
Booking a wedding photographer is a big decision and i prefer couples to book me because they felt 100% sure so after a chat i leave couples to have a think and generally say do not make an on the spot decision.
This approaches i feel just ensures you are 100% with your decision , i’d prefer to be booked because a couple liked me and not because they felt pressured.
After we have had a chat i tend not to reach back out again until i hear from you, it’s not because i am being rude but it’s just because you know where i am if you want to go ahead. I dont like the idea of pestering couples it’s just not my style.
After our chat you will have all the information you need and you will get a sense of my personality and from there it’s down to the couples to decide what to do.
Typically i will hold the date for 14 days after a chat but i am happy to hold on to it a little longer providing you keep in touch.
For this reason i always encourage couples to have a no obligation chat with me, it just gives you a better idea about me and my style.
Via an online gallery, you will receive a direct link to your own special gallery with all your images hosted on. This makes it simple to share with all your friends. From here you can also order prints if you wish to and as the bride & groom you are also able to hide certain images from your guests that you might wish to keep private.
There is no need I stay till the job is done , weddings don’t always stick to exact timings so I would never leave you worried.
I make every effort to attend a wedding and I will turn up on my death bed if I need to. But in extreme cases I have a trusted network of photographers and between us we all cover each other in emergencies in the unlikely event there is an issue.
For weddings within 1 hour of Leeds there is no travel time, weddings outside of this are charged at the cost of petrol and no more.
Long distance weddings will require accommodation the night prior to ensure I’m there on the day. For this I find a cheap hotel nearby and charge for this.
Every single photo is edited, not a single image leaves my laptop with out having some work done on it
Of course, ideally I suggest a zoom first to save us both some time and if you like the sound of things after the zoom we can meet either at the venue or at your house. What everworks for you.
My contract states 4 to give me some additional time but my aim is to return images with in 1-2 weeks back to you (yes! very quick it’s something I’m proud of 🙂 )
A hot meal is appreciated but not expected.
Just let me know so i can ensure to bring something with me.
Usually venues offers supplier meals at a reduce rate so it wont cost you the same as a guest.
£150 deposit secures the date, 4 weeks prior to the wedding the full balance.
But realistically, I’m fully flexible
If i have not visited your venue prior i will try and visit it before hand if its local however i find often that by arriving earlier on the day works better. The problem with visiting in advance is its not a true reflection of your day given the conditions. I have found over time that visiting a venue in advance has not really led to any benefit.
The weather may change, the grass maybe boggy on the day , something has changed at the venue blocking that beautiful shot i had planned and so i find arriving early on the day is better to get a good idea of what will work on the day.
A 30 minute earlier arrival on the day is more than sufficient how ever if you truly feel it would be of great benefit do let me know and we can arrange something.
I have 3 cameras, multiple flashes, multiple memory cards and multiple lenses.
Weddings are a once in a lifetime memory and they deserve the utmost redundancy
Firstly – We need to know if your date is free! my 2024 is already 90% full and my 2025 is now 50% full so ensuring the date is free is the first step.
You can do this by filling in the form below.
Then i usually suggest a quick chat/zoom – this is simply so you can get a feel for me and what i am like – A wedding photographer is a big decision so you have to ensure the personality is what you are looking for. This chat comes with zero pressure to make a decision(More so i would rather you decide between your selves in your own time so you are fully certain of your decision)
If you wish to go ahead get back in touch with me where you will get a booking contract emailed to you for peace of mind and a deposit of £125 to secure the date.
Fill in the below details to check i’m free on your big day!
