moments from 2024
2024 was an incredible year for my wedding photography, marking the first full year since rebranding to Wild Coast Weddings. To celebrate, I’ve created a short slideshow showcasing some of my favourite moments from this season.
Thank you to all the wedding couples I have worked alongside. I am so grateful to each and everyone for making this year so special.
Now, with a busy 2025 ahead of me, I am excited to capture many more memories.
Feel free to reach out and I look forward working alongside you in the near future.
Kind Words
‘From the moment we met Drew prior to the wedding to the final goodbye after receiving our incredible photos, he put us at ease. He captured our day SO perfectly. The photos are amazing and we couldn’t be happier with his service! Helping out the family sorting tables and chairs on the day and made sure he captured all our guests and loved ones. Truly magical and we have loved looking through each photo and will enjoy to do so forever! Can’t thank him enough for his wonderful work!’
Thanks so much, love Sara & Alex xxx
my approach
The privilege of documenting a couple’s most important day is not one I take lightly. Wedding photography is an art form that goes beyond simply capturing images. It’s about preserving the essence of the day – the emotions, the atmosphere, and the fleeting moments that make each wedding unique.
Through a blend of portraiture, fashion, landscape, and documentary photography, I strive to tell the story of your special day in a way that is both beautiful and authentic.
“To be a part of your day is a privilege.”
Every wedding I attend is different and the photos produced are equally diverse. If the day is full of energy, then the images are full of energy. If the day is full of tears and emotion, the images reflect that.
My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive. I prefer to blend in and document the authentic, candid moments as they unfold. My aim is to be “remarkably unobtrusive yet incredibly professional,” taking charge when necessary while allowing you to fully enjoy your wedding day.
Please take a moment to browse through my galleries, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Testimonials
Drew was amazing. We can not recommend him enough. Should it rain on your wedding day do not fear – Drew will dance in the rain with you! We have the most amazing magical shots because of his dedication and enthusiasm, we loved spending a very special time with him having our pictures done. From the first moment we met, we loved his relaxed and fun style! Book Drew you will not regret it! – Rachael & Pete |
He took all the stress away and we really enjoyed having our wedding photos taken with Drew. He was so chilled out but yet a total professional. He knew his job, so we could just relax knowing he was going to get some wonderful pictures. We are so relieved we managed to book him. - Ben & Tolu |
Drew captured our wedding in Chamonix beautifully. He worked soo hard the entire day to capture everyone at their best whilst also blending into the background and putting everyone at ease. Drew knows the area really well so if you’re thinking of having a wedding in Chamonix he can put you in touch with the right people. Drew knew exactly which Gondola to take and the best locations for mountain backdrops to our wedding photos. We were very lucky to find him and for everything he did we consider his prices more than reasonable. We couldn’t have asked for more from Drew, I also recommend ordering a wedding stop motion video as it captures the day really well! - Kayleigh & Dan |
Amazing wedding photographer. One of my favourite moments of our day was heading off to do a photo shoot with him. Was also lovely to see all his captured moments of the day that we had missed! Thank you Drew! - April & Lucy |
Frequently asked Questions
HOW DO WE BOOK YOU?
Firstly, you'll need get in touch and check my availability for your date. If I’m available then a 10% non-refundable deposit is required. This will guarantee that no else is able to book date. The remaining balance can be paid off at any point up to one week before the wedding day.
HOW MANY PHOTOGRAPHS DO WE RECEIVE?
Depending on the chosen package, you will generally receive between 200-300 individually edited photographs. There will be a select few that I will convert to black & white. However, I will also provide you with the colour originals in a separate folder, putting the control in your hands.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE OUR PHOTOGRAPHS?
As a rule of thumb, I always aim for you to receive your images between 4-6 weeks. During the peak of the wedding season, it will be closer to the 6-week mark. If you have an album as part of your package, I will need to get your approval form the digital images before I start to put it together.
HOW DO THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARRIVE?
You’ll receive the edited photographs on a customised USB stick with a copy both in High Resolution for printing and Low Resolution for easy web uploads.
HOW LONG DO YOU STAY ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDING?
I like to keep myself flexible on your wedding day. Once you have booked me, I am committed to providing the highest level of customer service possible. If I need to arrive early to scope out the venue or if you fall behind on your days schedule, I will not charge any extra for my time. I am there until the parameters of your chosen package have been fulfilled.
DO YOU REQUIRE FOOD DURING THE DAY?
Yes Please! - When the wedding party sits down to eat, the camera goes away. At this point, I would love to have some food provided. I don’t need a full three course wedding meal, but a plate from the catering staff to keep the energy levels up on the long day would be much appreciated.
CAN WE MEET YOU BEFORE THE WEDDING?
If you are based locally to North Devon, I would always recommend a face to face meet up before the wedding. If you happen to be further afield, we can always have a video chat - either way, a pre-wedding meeting is always a must.
