Stuart at Portfolio Photographic is Sinfin’s wedding specialist. He blends relaxed, documentary storytelling with crafted bridal portraits to create professional, timeless wedding and engagement photos.
I'm Stuart, the photographer behind Portfolio Photographic, based in Sinfin, GB. Weddings are my core focus — I specialise in photographing real days, full of emotion, atmosphere and unscripted moments. My approach blends documentary-style coverage with considered bridal and couples portraits so you get a complete, memorable story of your day. Why choose me as your wedding photographer? Years of experience shooting ceremonies at churches, country houses, barns and urban venues across Derbyshire and beyond have taught me to read a day and anticipate moments before they happen. I aim to be both present and unobtrusive: capturing natural laughter, tears and celebrations while also taking time to create elegant, composed portraits that reflect your personalities. My style is relaxed, warm and story-led. I work to put you at ease — many couples say they forget I'm there — so the images feel genuine rather than staged. For couples who want extra preparation, I recommend an engagement (couple) shoot. It's a low-pressure session that helps you become comfortable in front of the camera, lets us test styling and locations, and gives you a set of images you can use for invitations, venue displays or at home. How I work with clients: we start with a friendly conversation to understand your day, priorities and ideas. I’ll suggest times and locations for portraits that best use the light and the venue, and I’m happy to collaborate with other suppliers to make your vision happen. On the day I focus on capturing the flow of events — bridal prep, ceremony, family groups, the couples walk, speeches and dancefloor energy — while keeping things calm and enjoyable for you and your guests. I can include second shooters when a wider coverage of candid moments is desired.
