Meet Tim Payne
Wedding Photographer | People Watcher | Always Calm
Hi I’m Tim
I’m a wedding photographer based in Hertfordshire, photographing weddings across the UK and abroad.
My approach is pretty simple:
- Make people comfortable.
- Don’t turn the wedding into a photoshoot.
- Know when to step in.
- Know when to disappear.
And always be ready when something brilliant happens.
GOOD PHOTOGRAPHS START WITH PEOPLE FEELING COMFORTABLE.
Why Weddings?
I’ve had a camera in my hands for most of my life.
It started with film cameras on family holidays and eventually took me through music festivals, portraits, landscapes and pretty much anything else that gave me an excuse to take photographs.
Then I found weddings.
They have everything I love about photography.
People. Emotion. Beautiful light. Complete unpredictability. Quiet moments followed by utter chaos.
Sometimes within thirty seconds of each other.
No two weddings are the same. That’s exactly why I love photographing them.
REAL PEOPLE. REAL MOMENTS. NEVER THE SAME WEDDING TWICE.
What Am I Like On A Wedding Day?
Calm. Friendly. Observant.
I’ll give you direction when you need it, help when things don’t quite go to plan and disappear into the background when you don’t need me.
I’ll probably chat to your parents, joke with your mates, and somehow end up knowing half the guests by dinner.
But for most of the day?
I’ll let you get on with having a wedding.
CALM WHEN IT MATTERS. INVISIBLE WHEN IT DOESN’T.
When I’m Not A Wedding Photographer…
You’ll usually find me exploring the countryside with our cocker spaniel, Atticus Finch, cooking, getting lost in a good book, or planning where to go next.
I’ll probably have a camera with me. Even when I said I wasn’t bringing one. I just love photography, it’s my passion.
Think We Might Get Along?
You’ll spend a fair bit of time on your wedding day with your wedding photographer.
So, liking the person behind the camera matters too.
If you want someone relaxed, experienced and genuinely excited about what you are planning I’d love to hear about it.
YOU BRING THE WEDDING, I’LL BRING THE CAMERAS.
