London • Hampshire • UK & Beyond

Stories worth remembering.

Behind the lens

I’m William.

I’m a Hampshire-based photographer and filmmaker working across London, the UK and wherever a good story takes me.

I’ve always been drawn to the moments that happen naturally: the laugh that wasn’t planned, the expression nobody else noticed, the few seconds between the photographs people expect.

My approach is relaxed and uncomplicated. I want the people in front of my camera to feel comfortable enough to forget it’s there.

Photography preserves a moment.
Film preserves everything around it.

Selected work

Selected stories.

Weddings, families, faces and the occasional flat cap. A few favourites from recent months.

Services

Two ways to keep the day.

Photography and film, separately or together. Same relaxed approach, same eye for the moments that matter.

Film & videography

Motion tells
the rest of the story.

Some moments deserve more than a frame. The vows in your own voices, the speech that had the room in bits, a child’s laugh at their first birthday.

Film is shot the same way I photograph: quietly, without staging, with an eye for what’s really happening. Book it alongside photography and the same relaxed presence runs through everything you receive.

  • Wedding films The full day, edited into something you’ll want to watch on every anniversary. Vows and speeches in your own voices.
  • Event videography Parties, celebrations and company events, filmed quietly and cut to share.
  • Family & personal films Short films from family sessions and milestones. The giggles, the first steps, the voices you’ll miss.
  • Promotional & creative work Brand films, behind-the-scenes and creative projects that need a cinematic eye without a big crew.
  • Social content Vertical edits and short clips for Instagram, TikTok and Reels, shot alongside your photographs.

The experience

Relax.
I’ve got the rest.

Candid first

The photographs you’ll love most are the ones nobody posed for. I watch, wait and stay out of the way so the real moments have room to happen.

Comfortable, not composed

Most people feel a bit awkward in front of a camera. My job is to make that disappear, with a relaxed pace, simple direction and a few laughs.

Photography and film, one story

Stills and motion are shot with the same eye and the same calm presence, so everything you receive feels like it belongs together.

How it works

  1. Say hello

    Send an enquiry or a WhatsApp. I reply within 24 hours and we’ll plan the day or session together.

  2. The day itself

    Relaxed, unobtrusive and a little bit fun. You won’t be performing for the camera.

  3. Your gallery, and your film

    Carefully edited photographs, and film when you’ve chosen it, delivered to keep and share.
