Booking With Me
What to Expect
From booking to gallery delivery — exactly how the whole process works, so there are no surprises along the way.
My Style on the Day
My approach is simple: I capture your day as naturally and honestly as possible. What I do not do is hide in the background with a long lens. I get involved — I blend in with your guests, get to know them and have a laugh with them, because that is exactly what makes people relax and the real moments start happening.
And if your guests are still calling me the “camera guy” instead of Fabio by the end of the day… I’ve failed!
Organised When It Counts, Relaxed When It Matters
You’ll find me efficient and clear when timings are tight, and laid-back when the schedule allows. My goal is to make your day feel like a wedding, not a photo shoot.
- ✓Capturing everything you’ve asked for
- ✓Keeping things running smoothly
- ✓Without photography ever taking over
Your time with guests is precious, and I want you to enjoy every second of it — while I get on with capturing it around you, without you ever having to think about me.
Sound familiar?
This is probably you
Down to earth, and up for the banter
I enjoy a good wedding, and I am all about the fun factor. You will not get someone standing in the corner looking serious all day.
Energy, and lots of it
I am not an accessory to your day, I am part of it. I get stuck in, I bring the energy, and I want to be remembered for the experience as much as for the photographs.
Your photographs should never swallow your day
You want plenty of pictures, but you did not plan all this to spend it being photographed. I work fast and I work efficiently, and the second we are done I have you back with your guests, where you are supposed to be.
Natural, not prom-style posing
I keep the couple photographs fun, natural and laid-back. Most couples tell me afterwards it never felt like a photoshoot.
The one supplier you never have to worry about
There is plenty on a wedding day that needs keeping an eye on. I would like to be the part you never think about — I turn up, I get on with it, and the photography quietly takes care of itself.
Over 400 weddings of advice, on tap
I have photographed more than 400 weddings, so I have seen what works and what quietly goes wrong. Timings, running order, which supplier to book, what to do if it rains — ask me anything. Consider a wedding planner thrown in for free.
Your day from angles you never saw
I love showing couples the parts of the day they missed — the fun going on elsewhere while they were busy being married.
Proof of how good the party was
I have a lot of fun with the wedding party, and it shows in the pictures.
Candids, and lots of them
The candid stuff is where I shine — guest reactions, the moments nobody posed for.
Your guests matter too, not just the two of you
I am there for the wedding, not only the couple. Your guests get photographs worth taking away as well.
Someone you never have to chase
Before, during and after the wedding, I reply quickly. All my couples have me on WhatsApp, so I am your right-hand man for anything you need — not just a name in the supplier list.
The evening captured, not just the daytime
The evening is the part you are most likely to forget. I stay on a while after the first dance for the evening antics.

What Happens Next
After Booking
- 1
Stay in touch
You have my number and my inbox from the moment you book, and no question is ever too small. All my couples have me on WhatsApp.
- 2
Along the way
You will not only hear from me when I need something. Expect guides, planning tips and the odd check-in as the date gets closer — timings, group shot lists, and the things that actually make a difference on the day.
There will be stretches where it all goes quiet, and that is completely normal. I am still here, still on hand, and still trying to help.
- 3
The 4–8 week countdown
Around a month before your wedding I send a quick questionnaire to confirm:
- Final timings
- Family and group photo requests
- Any must-have moments
That becomes my guide for the day. If your timings look tight, this is usually where I say so — better now than on the morning.
- 4
On the day
- I arrive 2–3 hours before the ceremony
- Ceremony → confetti → group shots
- Family photos (10–15 minutes for immediate family)
- Couple portraits — relaxed and natural, with time for sunset shots if possible
- Evening coverage, usually until an hour after the first dance
- 5
Payment
- Deposit: £125 to secure your date
- Final balance: due four weeks before the wedding

I had been admiring Fabio’s work for quite a while before booking him for our wedding. Fabio’s photography style was exactly what I was looking for, but it was also his personality that made me feel he was the right fit for our day. From the very beginning, Fabio was fantastic. Over the two years leading up to the wedding, every message I sent was answered so quickly that it felt more like chatting with a friend than a supplier. Nothing was ever too much trouble. On the day itself, Fabio made everything so much fun. He has a great sense of humour and kept us and our guests laughing, which made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. Fabio captured every special moment beautifully, and now I have the difficult task of choosing which photos to include in our album from an incredible 1,141 images! That’s a challenge I’m happy to have because there are so many amazing photos to choose from. Thank you, Fabio, for capturing our day so perfectly and giving us memories that we will treasure forever. If you’re looking for a talented photographer who feels more like a friend than a supplier, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Fabio. 💕

Fabio has been a key player throughout the planning. He helped me with the timeline and brainstorming ideas as someone that’s not opinionated and non-judgemental and he knows his stuff. He truly takes the time to get to know you as a couple and your vision for the day. He made the day stress free with family photos to our intimate couple ones. His attention to detail really stood out and exceeded all expectations. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Fabio to anyone looking for a talented and passionate photographer. Just to add he is amazing with animals, he captured stunning photos of our cockapoo Otis on the day as well.

Just book the consultation Highly recommend Fabio the energy he brings is second to none. We booked him as our photographer but he ended up being way more than "just" a photographer, time keeper, coordinator and planner. Fabio received many stressy messages from me in the build up to the wedding but always had some advice that would help calm me its very clear how knowledgeable he is of the wedding industry and how things flow best. I wouldnt describe him as professional and knowledgeable, off the wall and knowledgeable suits him much better!

Fabio was absolutely amazing as our wedding photographer. He made me and Chris feel so relaxed from the start, which made such a difference on the day, and he made sure we were having fun throughout. He has such a calm, friendly and had laugh with us. So many of our guests commented afterwards on how lovely he was and how naturally he blended in while capturing everything. He managed to catch so many amazing moments that we’ll treasure forever. We’re so grateful for the beautiful memories he captured and would highly recommend Fabio to anyone looking for a talented and genuinely lovely wedding photographer.

The absolute BEST! That is where I need to start. From first getting in touch with Fabio he was always there to help and give me advice. He responded to questions quickly and reassured me all the way up to the day, even with things not photography related just random bride stresses he picked up on and would help me! On the day I couldn’t have wished for anyone better, he is such a lovely person. He was calm, funny, happy, he was approachable to everyone and just there the whole day, present, always at hand and doing what he does best. He helped my day run so smoothly and I trusted him so had no worries on the day whatsoever. My photographs all look amazing, he listened to everything we wanted and also made some suggestions to what would work best on the day and he was right as the photographs are just perfect. If you’re looking for the best photographer with lots of experience and genuine really nice guy…I would definitely book Fabio.

1000% recommend. Fabio was brilliant, from our first communication, he was great at replying quickly and nothing seemed to much trouble. On the day he captured lovely moments and helped with lots of the details, as well taking amazing photos. He was friendly and approachable and was able to take some great family photos without us standing for ages missing our drinks reception. Our couple photos were lovely and from someone who doesn’t like having their photo taken I felt at ease. When we got our photo gallery I loved looking through them he had captured lots of moments that I didn’t know had happened. We can’t wait for our album to arrive.

Fabio was incredible on our wedding day and the lead up! His communication was excellent throughout and makes everything as easy as possible. He is always responsive to messages in a timely manner which puts you at ease. He has a really relaxed yet professional approach which gives you confidence during the whole process. The photos are bright and natural which is the exact style we wanted! As well as obviously an amazing quality. Can’t recommend enough!

Fabio! He was reliable, quick to respond to our queries, he understood what we wanted and we felt so comfortable around him. He was amazing at capturing our day. Trying to pick 90 pictures for our album was so hard from so many amazing shots! He made the couple shots & the family shots fun. He was so quick yet so precise at getting through everyone -ensuring we had all the shots we requested. No one ever wants to spend hours posing. Our guests were super happy they could go & get the drinks flowing! Any questions we had with regards to anything wedding related - Fabio was super quick to respond. He recommended our amazing videographers and advised on the what sparklers for pictures. He was so responsive and knowledgeable. Our pictures are phenomenal & we can’t thank him enough for capturing our day. We would 10000% recommend him. We are so glad we chose Fabio- thank you so much 🩷

What a dream Fabio was to have capture of special day last month. From the moment he arrived in the morning he was the upmost professional and so organised. Nothing was to much for him and he put 110% effort in to get the perfect shots. His personality on the day and the energy he brought made him a dream to work with and a hit with all our guests. Even with the great British weather we got the amazing outdoor pics we wanted. What made him extra special for us was how amazing he was at capturing our dog. Would 100% recommend Fabio and was worth every penny. We have the best memories to look back on thanks to him. Thank you, Nat and Beth ❤️

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer. Fabio is an amazing person and worth every single penny. He was completely dedicated to getting the best shots of our day—efficient, focused, and so easy to work with. Even when Storm Amy decided to make an appearance, he didn’t let anything get in the way of capturing the magic. He got everyone outside for sparklers, somehow managed to grab incredible photos despite my veil taking a tour of the Ripponden Valley, and still made everything feel effortless. Fabio was unbelievably quick with the family photos, which meant our day flowed perfectly without interruption. The candid moments he captured are absolutely fantastic—beautiful, natural shots that we will cherish forever. They let us relive parts of the day we didn’t even get to see. I genuinely can’t recommend him enough. Choosing Fabio was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Thank you Fabio ❤️

We are so grateful to have found Fabio, hands down the best photographer ever and the funniest person. From the moment we booked him, he went above and beyond, helping us with planning pretty much the whole day (which he didn’t even have to do!), making sure we hadn’t forgot anything and called us a week or so before the wedding to confirm everything. Fabio is exactly how he is pre wedding, on the wedding day and post wedding, such a hype man, hilarious and just the most talented person. He worked perfectly with our videographers, matched the bridal party’s verbal abuse, and felt like someone we’d known forever. Every single guest we spoke to couldn’t stop raving about how amazing he was. Fabio sent us sneak peek shots, THE NEXT MORNING, and just to put this into context our ceremony was at 11.30am (Fabio was at the venue well before this snapping photos of the morning) and was there well into the night do! In every single photo Fabio captured our relationship perfectly and there is not one photo where I feel as though anything is staged, or that was a fake smile because Fabio had us laughing throughout the whole day. Fabio is truly one of a kind, hilarious, ridiculously talented, and just the best energy to have around on the wedding day. We couldn’t love him more if we tried. If you’re lucky enough to get a date with him, BOOK HIM IMMEDIATELY, or please message me and I will absolutely harass you to book him! All our love Fabio, Ash and Shaq x

What can I say, Fabio you made our wedding! Your professionalism and attention to detail is second to none, you had the patience of a saint to capture the best shots and round my bridal party up! Your humour made us feel at ease and belly laugh all day and night!! You helped with setting up, getting me in my dress, and calming everyone’s nerves. From the moment I booked you, you were helping with recommendations and were unbelievably kind and supportive over a situation with one of my bridesmaids falling very poorly during the build up which meant we moved the venue and changed the wedding, you are a wonderful person and talented photographer, EVERYONE needs you for their special day ! can not recommend you enough and thank you for everything ♥️

We would absolutely recommend Fabio as your wedding photographer. He captured our special day back in September and we are absolutely thrilled with the images he took. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of camera but he made sure the images were natural and we felt at ease all day long. He was fantastic with our guests and his experience was clear from the outset. He is also more than just a photographer- he gave us great advice about other parts of the day, made himself available during the planning stages for questions and advice and went above and beyond on the day itself. He brought the energy and had a laugh with us from start to finish. We are so glad we chose Fabio!

Absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos thank you so much for capturing our special day! Fabio by name FABio by nature! You made us all feel at ease from first booking you until receiving our final images and we couldn’t be happier.

Absolutely amazing! Every time I look at our wedding photographs the biggest smile comes on my face! When we first got engaged Fabios page popped on to my Instagram feed and from then I was hooked. I loved the energy he brought and the images he took are full of love and laughter and that’s exactly what we got! He embraced all our crazy ideas from the ‘first touch’ in the morning to the photo dash in the evening. He made our ideas come to life and helped us pull them off seamlessly. Everyone who has spoken to us about our wedding has said how amazing Fabio was and they loved the energy he brought to the day. Thank you so much Fabio for capturing our special day!

Well where do I Evan start, Fabio & his second shooter Dave were phenomenal, from start to finish, They arrived very promptly and just got straight to it, from getting the first getting ready pictures right up to 10pm! Couldn’t believe how late they stayed, I’m not a posey person at all and Fabio was totally fine with that taking raw candid photos all throughout the day, and he Evan sent me some sneak peak pictures 12hours later!! And Evan filmed me a little shot of my kids walking down the aisle so I could see , as I didn’t have a videographer, literally next level 🥰 Aswell as that his personality is second to none, From dealing with me stressing a couple of time, to carrying my belongings and dealing with my sisters (MOH) very dry sense of humour all day! 🤣 He was amazing and I’m sooo happy I chose Fabio to capture our day, can’t wait to get all our pictures back 🫶🏻

Fabio did an incredible job photographing our wedding, putting us at ease ahead and on the day, which really helped get natural and relaxed photos. Really glad we went with him - a real pleasure!

WOW!! We had such an amazing experience with Fabio! He was so helpful and friendly, which made the whole day stress-free and fun. He took all of our inspo pics and turned them into reality. Fabio and Dave (second photographer) even worked with me to make sure a special surprise during the morning was captured perfectly. We were so happy to receive our photos within 2 weeks after our wedding. When we look back through our photos, they bring so much joy (and plenty of happy tears!) because he truly caught the heart of our day in every shot. Our guests have been so impressed with all the photos they’ve seen too, which just proves how beautifully everything was captured. Anyone looking for a wedding photographer will not be disappointed booking Fabio. We couldn’t be happier! Thankyou SO much!!!

Fabio, the man, the myth, the LEGEND (direct quote from one of our guests) ❤️✨️ We reached out to Fabio back in November 2023 after finding him on Instagram. We both fell in love with his style of photography. Fabio was so helpful with responding to all our messages (a lot revolving about me worrying about the weather!) and suggested a place local to us for an engagement shoot. He made us both feel so comfortable, and was super speedy sending our final pictures. In the run up to the wedding, Fabio has been so helpful, and even recommended sparklers to use for our photos. On the day of the wedding, he was such a calming presence for me and I didn't feel rushed. Even when my mum's dress broke, and a few expletives came out from me; he helped me keep calm and came up with a plan B for our first looks. The weather on the wedding was everything we had dreaded, constant wind and rain throughout the day. But honestly, after getting married, I completely surprised myself and Fabio, as I literally threw caution to the wind. All our guests LOVED Fabio and a lot said how comfortable they felt around him, how quick he was getting through family photos and how he was just the best! The photos are absolutely stunning! We are so glad we chose Fabio as our photographer and we can't wait to receive our finished album. If you are looking for a photographer who can make you stay calm, laugh and has such great banter - Fabio is your guy! Huge thanks! The Horans! ❤️ Xx

Once the Day Is Done
After the Wedding
The photographs are only half of it. Here is exactly what happens once everyone has gone home.
Within 24 hours
You will not be left waiting to see something. Before the confetti is out of your hair there will be a handful of sneak peeks sitting on your phone — enough for the group chat, and enough to wake up to on the morning after.
In two to four weeks
The full gallery lands in a private online gallery you can view, download and share as much as you like. Every image professionally edited, no watermarks, and full print rights — they are yours, to do whatever you want with.
Your album, if you went Platinum
- You pick your favourites
- I design the album around them
- You approve it → print → delivered
There is no rush on any of it, and no limit on how many times you change your mind. Couples tell me the album is the thing they actually reach for years later — scrolling a screen is not the same as putting something in your nan’s hands.
Want video too?
I highly recommend Oliver’s Wedding Films. We have worked plenty of days together, we stay out of each other’s way, and I am happy to check their availability for your date.
And after that
I do not disappear once the gallery is delivered. Couples message me months later about print sizes, framing, anniversary shoots, or just to show me the album sat on the shelf. Always happy to hear from you — happy wedding planning!
Recommended supplier
The venues that put me on their list
Sandburn Hall, Walton View Hotel, The Moorlands, Hodsock Priory, Oakwood at Ryther, Priory Cottages and Woodlands Hotel all keep me on their recommended supplier list.
That is not a badge you can buy. Venues add you once they have watched you work a full day, more than once, and know you will not hold their timings up, upset their staff or leave the bridal suite looking like a jumble sale. It also means I already know the rooms, where the light falls at five o’clock, which corner works when it rains, and how the day tends to run there — so none of your wedding gets spent explaining the building to me.
If your venue is not on that list, it changes nothing. I turn up early on the day and read the room then — after 400+ weddings I can size a place up quickly, and it beats a scouting trip months before when the light, the weather and half the layout will be different anyway. It just means that at these ones, I walk in already knowing.
Questions couples ask me
How much is the deposit, and when is the balance due?
A £125 deposit secures your date. The final balance is due four weeks before the wedding.
When will I get my photographs?
Sneak peeks land within 24 hours of the wedding, and your full gallery follows in two to four weeks.
How long do you stay on the day?
Coverage runs from bridal prep through to an hour after your first dance, and I arrive two to three hours before the ceremony. I usually hang on a little longer for the evening antics.
What is the difference between the Gold and Platinum packages?
Gold is digital only. Platinum is the digitals plus a luxury wedding album, which I design for you from your favourites before it goes to print.
Do I need a second photographer?
It is an optional £400 extra, and I would recommend it for 90 or more guests. It adds roughly 30–40% more photographs and covers partner prep at another location plus more guest reactions and candid moments.
What happens between booking and the wedding?
Things go quiet for a while, which is completely normal. Around four to eight weeks before the day I send a short questionnaire to confirm final timings, family and group photo requests, and any must-have moments. That becomes my plan for the day.
Can I ask you questions before the day?
Any time. All my couples have me on WhatsApp, and I reply quickly — before, during and after the wedding.
Do you photograph family and group shots?
Yes. We agree your list in the questionnaire beforehand, so on the day it is quick and nobody is left standing around wondering who is needed.
What is included with every package?
A private online gallery to view and download, plus full print and sharing rights, whichever package you choose.
Can you recommend a videographer?
Yes — I recommend Oliver’s Wedding Films, and I am happy to check their availability for your date.
