About Tim Payne Photography
Hertfordshire Wedding Photographer
Hi, I’m Tim
I’m a Hertfordshire wedding photographer with a relaxed approach and a deep love for honest, beautiful storytelling.
My work blends fine art aesthetics with real, unfiltered emotion; heartfelt moments, striking portraits, and a touch of glorious dance-floor chaos (don’t worry, I’ll stay behind the camera!).
Photography’s been part of my life since I was a child, racing around with a film camera on family holidays. Since then, I’ve photographed everything from music festivals to portraits and landscapes. These experiences honed my eye for atmosphere, connection, and those fleeting, powerful moments that make a wedding truly unforgettable.
Capturing Your Wedding Day
Today, I’m a full-time Hertfordshire wedding photographer, and I consider it an absolute privilege. I’ve worked with couples of all backgrounds, faiths, and identities. I believe every story deserves to be told beautifully and authentically. My style mixes documentary storytelling with candid intimacy, guided when needed, but always led by your energy.
If you’re camera-shy, you’re in good hands. I keep things relaxed, natural, and low-pressure so you can just be yourselves. I’ll offer gentle support when needed, but mostly I let the magic unfold naturally.
I approach every wedding with intention. I plan carefully but adapt to the rhythm of your day, making sure you always feel seen, heard, and comfortable. Whether it’s a quiet exchange between loved ones or a euphoric burst on the dance floor, I’m there to capture it all with heart and artistry.
Award Winning Hertfordshire Wedding Photographer
As a Hertfordshire wedding photographer, I know and love this area. From grand venues to hidden countryside gems, I’m always excited to help couples create something truly personal in a setting that feels right for them. Please visit my Wedding Day Portfolio page here to see some truly special days.
I’ve been fortunate to receive both regional and national recognition as a Hertfordshire wedding photographer from the International Wedding Awards. However, what drives me most is creating timeless images that feel like you, joyful, connected, and real.
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me exploring the countryside with our cocker spaniel, Atticus Finch. I also love losing myself in photography books, cooking, or unwinding with a good novel.
Wherever your wedding takes you, whether it’s right here in Hertfordshire, elsewhere in the UK, or somewhere far-flung and fabulous, I’d love to tell your story in a way that feels effortless, beautiful, and entirely yours.
‘ The best images are the ones that retain their strength and impact over the years, regardless of the number of times they are viewed.’
