Meet Ross
Your Feel-Good Wedding PhotographerOh Hello
I’m Ross and in no particular order, I’m a professional wedding and portrait photographer, published author, obsessive ‘Great British Bake Off’ viewer and reluctant runner.
I’d love to tell you that at the age of six, my grandfather gifted me an antique camera and I spent the rest of my childhood in the dark room following an early calling to the magical art of photography. However, the truth is that I didn’t really pick up a camera until my late twenties, but when I did, boy did it change my life.
Not only did it provide me with a creative outlet and the opportunity to launch my own business, it provided me with a tool to empower couples like you to feel amazing about who you are. I understand that even for the most outwardly confident couple, being plonked in front of a big fat professional camera can summon up a host of nerves and feelings of awkwardness. It’s also fair to say that a lot of the mainstream wedding media lacks diversity and a healthy dose of reality, and you may be struggling to identify with the couples you see on those Pinterest boards.
So I’m here to capture the essence of you, and prove that you don’t have to be anything other than your true selves, in order to be wonderfully photogenic. Nor do we need to use elaborate and laborious posing to bring out all of your awesome qualities on camera. I continually receive emails, cards and messages from my couples following their wedding or engagement shoot, thanking me for making them feel so at ease, and this is before they have even seen their photos! It’s a testament to how much emphasis I place on making sure you have a wonderful experience when being photographed, and ensure that it’s never simply a means to an end.
People-focussed
Before I became a photographer I worked with children who have additional needs and also worked for the Alzheimer’s Society. In fact, every job I’ve ever had has been people-focussed. Connecting with others is a huge part of being a photographer, and being trained in how to truly listen and bring out the best in people is a skill I’m immensely proud of.
Listening always comes first with me, and I never ever remove my camera lens and start shooting until we’ve really connected and you feel comfortable in my presence.
The man behind the cam
I live with my beautiful partner James. We have been together for over 13 years and he is my best friend and my rock. We have been through all sorts of adventures together; some incredibly exciting, others desperately sad, but ultimately, we can conquer anything as long as we are together (although it’s always best if I do the cooking and he does the ironing to avoid singed shirts and burnt lasagnes)!
I’m originally from the Cotswolds and nature is my go-to cure for any stress, anxiety or lows that can creep into all of our lives from time to time. It makes an appearance in most of my shoots too as I feel people totally relax when in the great outdoors.
When not shooting, I love a trip to All Saints for some clothes shopping, cooking Nigella recipes whilst dancing around the ktichen to Jessie Ware and of course delving into an addictive boxset; anything from How to Get Away with Murder (for the drama) to Elite (for the…ahem…cast).
Oh and aside from Bake Off, my favourite ever programme is a really old TV show called The Darling Buds of May (one of those that gets shown on ITV3 between ads for stair lifts and life insurance)! I never said I was cool did I?
Anyway, moving on, please contact me for a chat about your wedding plans and I promise I’ll restore any credibility I’ve just lost with that confession.
