Specialist wedding photographer in Houghton-Le-Spring. Adrian captures authentic, joy-filled moments with a relaxed, unintrusive style—creating natural, emotional wedding and engagement photos.
I'm Adrian, a Houghton-Le-Spring–based wedding photographer who specialises in capturing the honest, joyful moments that make each wedding unique. My work is rooted in a relaxed, unintrusive approach: I favour natural settings and real emotion over staged poses, so your photos feel genuine and timeless. If you want a photographer who notices the small connections, the quiet smiles and the spontaneous celebrations, you've found someone who loves that part of the day. Why choose me? I treat wedding photography as storytelling. I love taking photos of people and amazing places—or even better, people in amazing places. I prefer open, natural locations where couples and guests can relax, laugh and be themselves. My aim is to make your wedding day comfortable and fun, so the images reflect the warmth and connection of the event rather than stiff formality. How I work: I start by getting to know you. Pre-wedding conversations and venue visits help me understand the flow of your day and the moments that matter most. On the wedding day I blend a documentary mindset with considered portrait work—capturing candid interactions, emotional highlights and those little details that tell your story. My presence is low-key and professional: I keep things calm and unobtrusive so you and your guests can be fully present. I cover weddings throughout the North East from my base in Houghton-Le-Spring and also travel for celebrations across the UK. While wedding photography is my core focus, I also enjoy working with families—capturing relaxed portraits and lifestyle moments when required. This experience with families helps me work sensitively around children and multi-generation groups on wedding days. After your wedding I carefully edit and prepare your images so they showcase the connection and atmosphere of the day. The result is a collection of photographs that feel true to you—natural, emotional and full of life. If you're planning a wedding and want a photographer who specialises in authentic, people-first wedding photography in Houghton-Le-Spring and the North East, get in touch and let’s tell your story together.
