I live in North Wales and have been photographing weddings since 2011. My photographic style is storytelling, allowing moments to unfold naturally without any intervention.
I believe the images I make should reflect your true wedding day, without a photographer giving any orders, nor any forced poses either.
I’m mindful to approach each wedding unobtrusively, this allows me to take photographs whilst you relax and enjoy your wedding day. I want you to spend time with your family and friends. I will never ask anybody to say cheese.
Finding the story of the day is what matters! Emotion, expression, love and laughter.
There are many ways which describe my photographic style. A few of terms I use are documentary wedding photography, wedding reportage photography and wedding photojournalism.
Taking care of the moment and not intruding as a photographer is very important for me and ultimately my priority as a wedding photojournalist. The above image is of a bride and her sister right before the wedding ceremony. It is a perfect and a precious moment for them both. This moment may never have been captured had I intervened and asked them both to smile and pose.
I’m by no means a traditional wedding photographer in the old sense of the word. I don’t work from lists of posed or prescribed images. This would take away from the Natural candid photography which is the main focus in my wedding images. However there is certainly room for a few relaxed group shots should you request them.
Editing style
The photographic images I curate have an intrinsic thread which flows through all of my wedding photography and my editing style. Whether my images are black and white or in colour, the heart of my editing style remains the same. I love to produce images that have contrast. Giving a timeless feel to the images.
I prefer to use natural light and throughout a wedding day I will predominantly shoot this way. There is the odd time I may need to use a touch of flash and I like to keep this to a minimum. For instance the bride and grooms first dance is a time when I may use my flash.
We asked a lot of Maurice as we had such a big event with around 180 people and Maurice didn’t miss a moment! His documentary style of photography captured the magic as it happened and even gave us a few pleasant surprises of things we had missed.
Thanks Maurice – you did a great job ~ John and Lexi xxx

The image above is of a candid, happy moment of the groom along with his father and groomsmen having an enjoyable moment in the sunshine just before the wedding ceremony. It’s this type of carefree, relaxed moment I especially love to capture in an non orchestrated manner. I’m not imposing on their moment, I wouldn’t want to spoil it by intervening and asking for a posed image.
Absolutely wonderful. Everyone has said how lovely Maurice was on the day and the photos we’ve received are perfect, just what we wanted! Can’t recommend him enough. Thank you for catching our memories ~ Natalie and Vince.

Another thing I should mention is how much I love photographing people. Above all I feel it’s an honor to photograph a couple on one of their happiest days. I believe it’s very special privilege.
