About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2022

Last update: September 2024

Thank you very much for checking my page on Hitched. I'm a freelance wedding photographer videographer and drone operator from Sheffield. I have a varied background in photography & videography and take all my experience into each wedding.

For me the most important part of the process is the planning phase, getting to know you both, learning about your preferences and having a shot list and mood board in place is crucial to getting the best results whilst you enjoy the day.

The best feeling is uploading all the final photos & videos onto your personal gallery and sending you the link to view for the first time. My goal is always to deliver a product & service you're blown away with and you can't wait to sit down with friends and family to showcase the gallery and relive the day.

Services Offered

I'm happy and confident capturing images and video footage by myself throughout the day with hybrid cameras that allow me to capture the day efficiently. Photography and videography services are available for up to twelve hours of coverage, with final products edited and returned in less than 3 weeks. I'm also available for engagement sessions so you can get to know me and have a chance to be professionally photographed. I invite you to get in touch and I will respond straight away to arrange a meeting to make sure I'm the perfect fit for your day.

Don’t hesitate for a second. Rob is the best

We cannot praise Rob highly enough. From his initial contact, agreeing how we wanted to shoot the day. He is full of great ideas, but totally flexible to anything we wanted - perfect!
To the big day: Rob blended into the background but somehow managed to capture everything. Everyone commented on his wonderful ‘bedside manner’.
To the final product, I guess the most important part. All I can say is we are blown away by the shots and video editing. We’ve had so many positive comments; many saying they are the best they’ve ever seen.
Thanks Rob!

Rob was perfect!

Rob was fantastic from start to finish. From our initial contact, to our pre day meetings, to the day and post wedding day everything was smooth and he captured every moment perfectly. Rob was always on hand to answer every phone call and message I sent him efficiently. So I was always extremely confident with his service.
Rob took time during my welcome drinks for my wedding to meet and introduce himself to the core members of our wedding party which meant they were already familiar with each other when it came to the photos on the day.
During our pre wedding meeting we went through every minute of the day and he helped me to understand what would happen when. His personality matched with every guest and made every photo session really enjoyable. From the photos where we are smiling at the camera to the photos which were caught in the moment every photos/video tells a story and are such special memories to have. For the weeks after the wedding Rob released the photos, trailer, speeches, ceremony and movie gradually. Each day became very exciting as we could re live the day for weeks after. I absolutely loved that he would only release the footage if we were together to make sure that we would enjoy the memories together. Thank you so much Rob, I cannot thank you enough. Would highly recommend!

Outstanding photography!

I don't know what we were expecting, but we were mindblown! Rob's photos are just amazing: everything from the very formal ceremony to some very intimate and candid shots. His dedication and passion for making sure everything was right are outstanding: he even did a trial run for the walk down the aisle with our small flower girls so they knew exactly what they were doing. He's extremely personable and all of our guests enjoyed having him around - the amount of attention he put into to taking photos of our guests and making the whole event about them as well as about us was fantastic. Everyone on the day praised him for being everywhere and at the same time, never being in the way. We were genuinely impressed by the amount of effort that went into capturing our day!

Could not recommend him enough!

Simply Stunning Wedding Photos and Video

Rob is extremely professional, but also very approachable. Before the wedding we discussed options regarding photos and videos and what would work best for us. On the day we didn't even notice he was there, other than arranging some spectacular photos with wonderful backdrops. His presence was supportive, but totally unobtrusive. Perfect. We are highly delighted, actually over the moon with our photos. I would highly recommend Rob to anyone interested in capturing the best moments of a wedding, celebration or family event so that you can 'relive' the moments whenever you like!

10/10 Photography and videography by Rob

We absolutely cannot recommend Rob enough. Not only did he deliver on exactly what we wanted (which perhaps is not the most typical wedding photos/videos), but he also did so in a highly professional capacity but also in a way where we and our guests felt completely relaxed around him. Rob took time to get to know us as a couple and made every effort to produce exactly what we had asked for. He was extremely organised, producing a comprehensive document detailing photo opportunities, the timeline an the vibe using mood boards. Rob was able to turn both the pictures around in a very short amount of time. This was also true for the 1-minute highlight and 6 minute video he produced. Rob was an amazing addition to the day and not only did we feel this, all of our guest echoed this feeling!

Excellent, professional quality photographer

Rob captured our amazing day perfectly and we couldn't have asked for more. His friendly demeanour not just to myself and Nicola but also to our friends and family made it feel like he was part of our party rather than our photographer"

Couldn’t recommend Rob more!

Rob was excellent. In our initial meeting, he created a mood board with research specific to us including venue shots, sunset time e.t.c. He then took us on a practice photo shoot which made us feel so much more comfortable ready for the big day! On the day he was so creative with his ideas and also ensured that every one of our guests had a photo with them in, this made looking through the photos even more special and the guests loved it! As a group of photo awkward people, Rob made us look like our best selves in the final photos, we were all (pleasantly) shocked! He made sure we had a sneak peek gallery within 24 hours and then delivered all of the photos within a week (all our guests were amazed by the quick turnaround especially after experiences where they had to wait for over a month for their pictures). The gallery has been open to all of our guests but we also have been able to hide the ones we don’t want them to see which means sharing the photos whilst still feeling comfortable has been great. We are so thankful that we have such beautiful photos to capture the memories of our day forever!

Kim & James wedding 27.08.24

We absolutely loved our wedding pictures and videos. The quality of the pictures & videos was outstanding, Rob knew exactly what he was doing and captured all of the perfect moments. Cannot thank him enough for our beautiful pictures and how well he coordinated everything on our special day. He even came to meet us for our engagement shoot and suggested photo ideas on a mood board for the wedding day, he puts a lot of effort in to his work which we appreciated and was totally professional. Would recommend to everyone.

Brilliant videographer and great guy

Rob was brilliant throughout. He was very friendly, professional and his calming presence made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera which definitely shows on the videos. His work is amazing and he captured our day perfectly from all the emotional moments of the ceremony and speeches and all the fun into the evening! The highlight films are incredible and the transitions between audio and music are amazing! He worked extremely well with our photographer and everyone has commented on how great he is! We cannot thank Rob enough!!

Just brilliant

Rob has been an absolute joy, he kept us going from morning until night, directed us for the best shots and videos but also at the same time hardly knew he was there, great with the kids and all our guests. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Can not recommend this guy enough

After having a photographer booked then them cancelling all of a sudden I felt panic as I know photography is one of the first things to be booked for a wedding and can be booked years in advance therefore I was worried all the good photographers would be no good, I went on hitched and was looking through a couple of profiles and reading reviews when I came across Rob from the first message he was quick to respond with relevant information and prices and wasn't pushy like some of the others I have spoken to could be. Rob offered to conduct a little engagement shoot for us so we could see his work for ourselves and see what kind of photographer he was with no obligation to book him after this. On the day we agreed to meet up which he let us decide and he was the one that went out of hi way to do the traveling he put us at ease straight away explaining things and having a laid back chat about what we would want from the photos and the videos of our big day and when we said not too many forced pictures we like the more natural pictures when someone doesn't necessarily know that their picture is been taken which he said was his favourite kind of thing to shoot more natural shots than posed, We had so much fun doing the shoot and we were more than impressed with the pictures captured which he sent us over a copy of them all to keep once we agreed that Rob was the photographer for us he said he would use one of the photos from the engagement shoot to put onto the cards he would give out on the wedding day with QR codes so guests can all view the gallery and add in their own pictures which was a really nice touch. Rob kept in reguar contact throughout the time before the wedding after us booking him to check in how we were and how all the planning was going and to see if we had any further requirements or questions then around four weeks before he asked if we could meet up again to put a full plan of the day together and we could let him know any particular shots that are important to us and any video moments we would like capturing and we could give him a run down of timings for the day so things would run smoothly, On the day Rob arrived on time and was instantly and spent time with the groom taking shots that we wasn't aware of which have turned out to be the natural ones that we love the most he was amazing with all timings given and travelling between venues between the bride and groom I know this can be particular tricky he captured moment on film and photos that I am so thankful I can re live forever. Throughout the entire day rob communicated well with the venue team and while me and the groom was busy socialising with guests he arranged for space for us all to be allowed inside earlier than planned due to the rain and took the stress of having to organise this away from us while we spoke with our family and friends all the guests commented on how well he fit into our day and how comfortable he made them feel he spent most of the day with us until around 22.00 which I was highly impressed with as it meant he got some shots of our family and friends a couple of drinks down which was the best shots, Rob also worked the entire day around us making sure he could get the shot without compromsiing our time spent with our guests it was not just the work Rob put in to the run up to wedding or the day its self he worked tirelessly to ensure we had a couple of pictures to look at a couple of days after the wedding he has also kept us informed every step of the way when he had uploaded to the gallery the pictures and was around to assist should we have any issues accessing these I can not recommend Rob enough all I can say is I am so happy that we was let down by our first photographer as finding Rob was the gem of the day.

Outstanding Videography and Service

We are over the moon with how Rob captured our special day and the manner in which he went about it. Un-intrusive, genuine and friendly, he made the whole process so comfortable and smooth and the quality of his filming is exceptional. We must have watched the film about 200 times and every time it brings a massive smile to our faces. Very grateful for his talents and manner, he was a delight to have around and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Professional, friendly and accommodating

From start to finish Rob gave the feeling of a photographer that knows what he's doing and the finished photos and videos only confirm that. He took the lead from what we wanted for the day and gave suggestions that helped us get the most out of our photos. We would be happy to recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
