With over 20 years of experience, I photograph weddings across the New Forest, Hampshire and the surrounding counties, offering couples a natural and authentic record of their day.
I’ve worked at some incredible venues, including Pylewell Park, Burley Manor Barn, Montagu Arms, and Kimbridge Barn — all beautiful settings for wedding photographers in Hampshire seeking timeless imagery. Whether I’m working as a new forest wedding photographer or further across the county, I focus on honest, meaningful moments that reflect the true atmosphere of your celebration.
My approach is always calm and considered, allowing your day to unfold naturally. I look for the quiet, unscripted interactions — the ones that often become your most memorable images. This style ensures your photographs feel genuine and effortlessly you.

Introduced by Kodak in the 1960s, Super 8 film became loved for capturing life in an authentic and intimate way. Today, couples are bringing it back for wedding videos that feel nostalgic, timeless, and full of emotion.
As a hybrid wedding photographer, I offer a combination of photography and video, either as a standalone service or as an add-on to your existing wedding photography package.
Az was a dream. I generally dislike having my photo taken so I was quite anxious about being photographed by a professional, but Az nailed it. We felt that Az was genuinely invested in our special day, and getting the best possible photos. We honestly couldn’t be happier with them; they’re so full of vibrancy and life (and love!). Lots of our wedding guests also complimented Az on the warm, relaxed atmosphere he created.
We could not have wished for a better photographer for our wedding. From initial contact to the day itself, Az was amazing and managed to capture every wonderful moment throughout the entire day. The photographs reflect the love and happiness shared by everyone who was part of our perfect day.
Az took time to get to know us and make sure we were comfortable being photographed; he treated every guest with courtesy and respect. He was patient getting all of our requested shots, and had no problem handling large groups of people for the photos. He worked tirelessly all day, came up with creative photo ideas, was patient with everyone and captured so many incredible moments. We valued how kind he was to the children at the wedding and handled every interaction with professionalism and care.
A simple, relaxed process from first contact to securing your date. We’ll chat, get to know each other, and make sure everything is in place so you can feel confident and looked after.
If you like my work, we should first check my availability for your date. You can do this by dropping me an email using the contact form.
We can video call or meet to discuss your wedding day. This will help us get to know each other and discuss what you’d like from the photography.
If you’re happy to proceed, I’ll send you a link to the booking form. Once signed, an invoice for the booking fee will follow. Payment secures the date for you.
