Wedding Photography With the Romance, Elegance and Captivating 60's Colour Film Look and Feel

When I started photography in the 80's it was still film. I always used the older types of film like Fuji 400h or Kodak Portra. I just loved the "look" they had - soft colours, lower contrast and beautiful character. I still love this!

Which is why I have spent years perfecting this "look". I use cameras that value image quality over features, I use lenses that give photos with character rather than crazy sharpness, I edit photos in Lightroom in a way to accentuate the softer tones and less harsh colours of the old film photos.

In short I give my couples photos that are timeless and romantic and full of character.

My approach on the day goes beyond traditional wedding photography. I blend in with you and your guests and discreetly wait for moments and a story to tell. I ensure I'm in the right place at the right time to get the best photos throughout the whole day and I only use prime lenses as their image quality is better than zooms so quietly move arround getting shots.

We'll spend a few minutes getting some "created" rather than posed photos of you as a couple as after all this is the day you're both looking your absolute best.

Each photo is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a timeless and elegant representation of your love story.

To provide the highest level of personalized service, I limit my bookings to just 30 weddings a year. This allows me to dedicate the necessary time and attention to every couple, from the initial consultation to the final delivery of beautifully edited images. With numerous wedding awards and memberships in prestigious photographic societies, my work is recognized for its quality and artistry.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer who can offer a high-end, artistic experience, combined with a relaxed, "no drama" approach I invite you to explore my portfolio and connect with me.

Let’s create something beautiful together.

Creative Pixel Photos, Allen Wedding Photographer

Thank you ever so much for your professionalism and expertise from our first meeting to our wedding day and beyond. You guided us through absolutely everything we needed to know, and your time and experience were truly unmatched. We are incredibly grateful for our engagement photos with our pets, as well as the stunning shots from our pre-wedding, wedding, and post-wedding events. You are a five-star photographer and have become an important part of our big day. We will certainly be using your services again in the future and I highly recommend you to friends and family.

Exactly what we wanted

We went into looking for a photographer very nervous and wondering if it was something we needed. Safe to say, we are so thrilled with what Allen was able to do for us on our day. He was fantastic with all our guests and my niece especially. I can't stand my photo being taken usually but he made it fun and unimposing. We have a lovely album and lots of photos that are already treasured.

Got great relaxed pictures of my guests

Really was impressed that Allen recorded the ceremony and got this to me the day after our wedding which was really impressive. Sad not to have his expertise for smaller group shots but meant more "moments" were captured.

Great photographer

When we started to look for suppliers for our wedding we quickly realised there was so much choice it was really difficult to choose. Not to mention the nightmare of keeping track of everything. We saw Allen's website photo gallery and he was instantly in the top 2 for us. As soon as we met he was our choice - likeable, easy going and yet so talented and a perfect fit for us on the day. Thank you for such great photos Allen

Allen was excellent!

We won one of Allen's wedding packages by entering a competition. From the moment of first contact to say that we'd won, until the big day he was nothing but friendly & professional. We had meetings beforehand to go over how many guests were coming, the location and who we wanted in pictures etc. Although he took pictures on our wedding day, he also fitted in well amongst our guests and always had a smile on his face. The pictures are great and we'd recommend the Excelsior package. Trying to only pick 40 or so for the album is so tough as we got well over 300 back but they're beautiful and Allen was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! Also, his wife Jean made us an absolutely stunning cake! We cannot recommend Allen enough!

Last Minute Wedding

We'd booked Allen for our wedding in October but then Lockdown came along so we cancelled until we could re-arrange in 2021. Unexpectedly we managed to secure a date in November with just 3 days notice - Allen dropped everything so he could come along. And did a fantastic job!

Great Photography and a Nice Guy Too!

We hired Allen for our wedding (the Excelsior PAckage) as he ticked all the boxes - our kind of photos - price - and got on well at the consultation. He was perfect on the day - blended in well with everyone - seemed to always be in the right place at the right time and when organsiing for the group shots was efficient without being bossy. AFterwards go everything as promised and love the photos. Thanks Allen

Incredible photographer

We have recently got married, February 2024. Allen was recommended to us by some friends and we was so pleased he was. Being a winter wedding we was a little bit worried we wouldn’t get amazing photos, we had nothing to worry about. Thankfully the weather held out but he did a great job at working with the lighting and just captured our day so brilliantly. We was also lucky enough to be a runner up in his yearly competition so received quite a discount on his package.

Thank you so much Allen!

Fantastic photos that we will enjoy for life.

We really liked Allen. We met him for an engagement photo shoot that lasted approx. 20 mins and when we got the photos back they looked stunning. We were also surprised at how relaxed we looked in them as we are both very camera shy. We booked him for our wedding after seeing the engagement photos as we knew that if he could capture photos like that in 20 mins the wedding photos would be stunning! And they really were. Allen is incredibly relaxed and easy to work with. He did such a good job of being right in the action when it was needed e.g. for the group photos and the couple shots but then keeping in the background for the rest of the day. There are so many amazing photos that I didn't even realise were being taken, which is just what we wanted really as they all looked very natural and he really captured the essence of the day. Allen is quite gentle and very relaxed when taking photos, he will give you a bit of prompting and suggest different ways to stand etc but then will often leave you to it so the photos will always look very 'you'. I definitely recommend! We love our wedding photos very much and really enjoyed Allen's company on our big day.
