Hi I'm a professionally qualified wedding and portrait photographer with a fully equipped studio in Belper, Derbyshire, with experience in excess of 1500 weddings over the last 25 years. I incorporate the many different genres of portraiture from Contemporary Studio Portraits to the more formal Head Shots often required by corporate clients.
Here is a small selection of photographs from the many weddings I have photographed at Blackbrook House. Amazing wedding photography Venue!= The attention to detail given by Lavinia and her team at Blackbrook is second to none, with superb food, making your special day truly magnificent. Becky Thomson Smith - 5 stars!
Horsley Lodge wedding Photography is always a pleasure. Situated in the grounds of one of Derbyshire's premier golf clubs its is a venue with exceptional dramatic views ideally suited to wedding photography. A meeting at Horsley in advance of their wedding day to discuss the photography is always good so we can explore the opportunities for some fabulous shots.
Originally built in 1874 by Francis Hurt, the impressive historical building sits proudly on the A6 connecting Ambergate to Buxton, Matlock and Derby. Sorry for the late review. We had Dickon as our wedding photographer in May and we couldn't be more impressed. He was so professional and easy to work with.
This fantastic wedding venue was built in 2011 complimenting the existing 17th Century Red Lion Pub. A stones throw from the beautiful Peak National Park it incorporates much of its natural beauty. Cannot thank Dickon enough for the spectacular photos he captured at our wedding. Creativity and passion is what Dickon has plenty of and he will do anything to capture the perfect shot!

I couldn’t recommend Dickon enough. My friend used him for their wedding and their photos are stunning. It’s nice to find a photographer who doesn’t just excel in one field of work. Dickon excels in all types.
I’ve since used him for food photography at my work place, the photos came out excellent. I pitched the idea a few months back of a doggy cake smash for my puppies first birthday, and I believe Dickon was more excited than me.
He got some AMAZING photos, gave us free roam of the setting up of the studio, and worked really well making all sorts of noises to keep my dogs attention. We had a couple of preview photos back within 30 mins, I’m so so excited to see the whole lot
I will certainly use him again, I’ve had a great experience both times. Thanks so much

Dickon did the photography for our wedding this October and was absolutely brilliant! We couldn't have wished for a more fun, enthusiastic and charismatic character. All our guests quickly warmed to him and he made the day even more fun with his relaxed and easy going manner. We are both thrilled with the photos and special moments he managed to capture.
We also opted for the VWphotobooth, which for me was a highlight as I couldn't avoid the real VW Van so this made the perfect substitute! The photo collection and instant book produced from this holds some very funny evidence of the evening and more lovely messages!! Our photo frame print out was signed by our guests too with a special photo chosen and printed for it from the day.
The wedding photo package we got from Dickon was one of the best value we could find for everything we got and it was all topped off by having a fantastic photographer. Thanks for everything Dickon. We will highly recommend you!

I cannot praise Dickon enough for the professional way he recorded the wedding of my daughter Sian Jones (now Price) to Byron Price , He made us the family and wedding party feel at ease, his photos show how happy and relaxed everyone was while still taking stunning images. During the day he created some amazing set piece shots that we would not have thought of.
We cannot think of any image we would have wanted taken that was not taken. Please just look at his work and you will understand that this photographer is the person you will want to create an album of your dreams. Thank you so very much Dickon.

Sorry for the late review. We had Dickon as our wedding photographer in May and we couldn't be more impressed. He was so professional and easy to work with. He made us both very relaxed on the day and the level of service we received from him was second to none. The package supplied was more than worth the money we paid and to top it off we have an album full of fantastic photos. We would highly recommend Dickon. Thanks again for making our day a great one.
