Hey There!

 

I'm Zane,


a documentary and editorial wedding photographer based in the West Midlands, specialising in luxury weddings throughout the UK and internationally. I love capturing weddings that are full of energy, style, and personal touches, whether it’s a lively celebration with music flowing through the day, a chic and fashion-forward affair with modern design elements, or an intimate, elegant gathering with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I love to travel for weddings in iconic locations like London, the Cotswold's, the Lake District, and all the way up to Scotland. I’m always excited to document unforgettable moments at stunning destination weddings abroad covering Europe and Worldwide.


For me, photography goes beyond simply taking pictures of people smiling at the camera It's about storytelling, I focus on documenting the real, unscripted moments that define your wedding day, creating a collection of images that reflect your connection and emotions as a couple. Every detail, from the biggest moments to the smallest touches, is captured with care, so you and your loved ones can relive your wedding day for years to come.


I work with a blend of digital and analogue film formats to deliver images that are full of warmth, depth, and a timeless sense of style. I take a documentary approach, making sure that every fleeting moment and delicate detail is captured authentically. Whether your wedding is set in the bustling streets of London, the charming Cotswold's, or an exotic destination far from home, I bring an editorial eye to every frame, ensuring that your day is beautifully documented and looks as stylish as it feels.


Building personal connections with my couples is key to my work. I make it a priority to understand your story, your vision, and your emotions. My goal is to ensure that when you revisit your wedding photos, you not only see the day you feel it all over again, reliving the emotions and memories for years to come.

Look no further, Zane has to be your photographer! He was nothing short of extraordinary. Everyone at our wedding absolutely loved his energy and positive vibes, and he was incredible with all our guests. We couldn’t be happier that he was there to capture our special day. He even gave us a preview of our photos later that same day, which was such a special touch! The photos? Breathtaking! They look like they’re straight from a magazine! We've received so many compliments from friends and family on how stunning they are. Zane's professionalism and creativity truly stood out, and you can tell he’s passionate about what he does. I would 100% recommend him he’s a must have for your big day!

Zane was the photographer at our wedding last week and he was simply amazing. We had such a lovely time with him doing our photos, he listened to exactly the style and energy we were after and made us feel completely relaxed in the moment. He also put in so much energy and effort to make sure he knew where the best shots were around our venue and the outcome was a reflection of that effort. The photos themselves surpassed our expectations, some really beautiful memories of our day. The difficult bit is picking which ones to put on the wall! Couldn't recommend him enough if you're looking for a photographer on your wedding day.”

I stumbled across Zane on Instagram and was so glad I did! We booked Zane for our wedding and could not have been more impressed! Not only is he the most talented photographer he is also the loveliest guy to have around. He absolutely nailed the brief and made the whole experience super fun and relaxed. Communication in the run up to the wedding was seamless and he gave us some sneak peak photos less than 24 hours after our wedding which was amazing!!
