About Me

Hey, I'm Pete. A Photographer, filmmaker, occasional musician, outdoor enthusiast, adventurer and someone who still thinks becoming a pilot would be a brilliant idea, despite having absolutely no idea how I would fund this idea.

I’m based in the Peak District, working with couples, brands and businesses across the UK and beyond. I came to photography through my love of the outdoors, but somewhere along the way it became much more about people, stories and the little moments that make something worth remembering.

I also started playing music later in life. I play a few different instruments, and I'm determined to get better.

Will I ever become a professional musician?

Absolutely not.

But I'm having a great time trying. play A clue of what I ? One instrument requires a surprisingly large amount of breathing, another is soft and mellow and another fits rather conveniently in a pocket, and apparently none of them are going to pay the mortgage.

Any guesses?

Weddings

For weddings, I’m not interested in turning your day into a photoshoot, I want you to actually enjoy it. The nerves, the laughter, the chaos, the quiet moments, the questionable dance moves and everything in between, I'll be there to capture it as it happens. My aim is for your photographs and film to bring you straight back to how the day felt, rather than simply showing you what it looked like.

Brands & Businesses

Commercial work is a little different. When I'm working with a business or brand, the camera isn't just there to make something look nice. The images or film need to do a job.

That means understanding your brand, getting the details right, thinking about where the content will be used and creating something that represents your business properly.

I love the creative side, but I'm also a bit obsessive about getting things right. If it's going on your website, advertising your business or representing your brand, "that'll do" isn't really an option.

I've also lived in Australia and New Zealand two places I absolutely loved and still miss, and I think living overseas gave me a slightly different perspective on travel, people and the places around us.

These days, I'm lucky enough to call the Peak District home.

It's probably why you'll find me happiest with a camera in one hand, muddy boots on my feet and an idea of where the next adventure might take me.
