Frank Wood Photography Being a wedding photographer is a tremendous privilege. Wedding photography is not just about photographic skills, it is also about being a supportive friend on the day, working around you and your plans, ensuring everything is captured perfectly. I am on your side helping you get the best possible record of the day. People look their best when they feel at ease. I have a relaxed and fun approach which captures beautiful images. For most of the day I am unobtrusive and discreet, blending in with guests taking natural and relaxed photos.

As a wedding photographer in Birmingham, I am experienced in shooting weddings in hotels, registry offices, stately homes or clients marquees. That is what I love about wedding photography every wedding is different! Based in the Midlands, I not only cover Birmingham and the West Midlands but also offer Warwickshire wedding photography, wedding photography in Worcestershire, Staffordshire and photography throughout the UK. As well as being a Birmingham wedding photographer I work as a corporate photographer for clients including a multinational London-based TV and Radio production company and a London-based charity.

Hello I am Frank Wood an experienced Birmingham wedding photographer covering the top wedding venues this glorious second city has to offer. Being born in Birmingham, and having lived here for most of my life, I know the city well. Birmingham is a wonderful city and has a rich cultural heritage, and a very proud industrial heritage.
I've been into photography for as long as I can remember but began shooting as a professional photographer in 2012. Before being a photographer I worked as a teacher in maths and English. Outside photography I love music and I sing in a choir, I play the piano and I enjoy going to concerts. I'm a bit of a foodie and love eating out - I love being fed fabulous food at weddings - a real perk of the job!
It is important for you to think about what approach you would like from your photographer. If you are looking for photographs of predominantly naturally occurring moments, unposed, I am likely to have the approach that will suit your taste in wedding photography. I like to work as a photojournalist who observes the events and moments of the day.
My fees reflect the fact that I am a full time professional photographer dedicated to providing you with a high quality documented story of your day. I aim to capture the real moments - the emotions, the reactions of yourselves and guests, the humour and fun. Over time we gradually forget the details of what has happened so our photographs form our memory of how we felt and what was important to us on the day. For your investment you will receive all the images from the day fully edited and colour balanced.
If you are investing in a wedding album you are investing in a family legacy. Families treasure old photographs, beautifully presented. I only wish my grandparents had had a wedding album as individual photographs often fade or can be easily lost. I provide both Italian and English hand-crafted albums in a range of sizes, covers and pages.

From the first contact made with Frank, he was kind, helpful and extremely professional whilst also managing to put us completely at ease. The pictures of our child's christening turned out beautifully. Frank was keen to make sure all the photos we wanted had been taken whilst also capturing fantastic 'in the moment' memories for us. My wife and I would highly recommend and we will be contacting Frank for any future events.

We've recently celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary and have been going back through the beautiful photographs which Frank took of our wedding day. Frank's style is so relaxed - and he captured every moment perfectly which took us right back. We were particularly impressed with Frank's professionalism and the fact that he went the extra mile to ensure that he'd captured the perfect pictures. Even when we got in touch with him recently with a query about our photographs (Some 5 years later!) he was more than happy to help. Highly recommended. Bee and David

If you're in need of an incognito wedding photographer who truly captures those special moments as they're happening, Frank is absolutely your go to guy! Frank was highly recommended to us for our wedding in July 2018 and from our first meeting, where he invited us to his home and shared snippets of his previous work, we knew that he would capture our day perfectly.

And was the one! To prepare us for the big day we booked a pre-wedding shoot - Frank recommended a beautiful national trust, Coughton Park, where he had scoped out the area and took some amazing in scene photos of the two of us. On the big day Frank was amazing, he was there for all of our big moments and even captured the smaller ones which were truly special. Frank also prepared the wedding album and was very patient in the back and forth in deciding the layout and picture selection.

We thought it was best to allow Frank to take the lead with this as his eye for detail and design was exceptional, which resulted in an album which we will cherish forever. We can never thank you enough, Bhav & Jas

Right, where do I start. After researching wedding photographers online me and my now wife came across Franks website and his fantastic photo portfolio. After meeting Frank for coffee and discussing our plans, we were quickly reassured that Frank was no amateur. It was clear he had everything covered, including intricacies of the process we hadn't even considered. Frank had a clearly defined style which appealed to us and had some fun stories about the lengths he had gone to, to creatively capture the perfect moment for some of his previous clients.

It was this passion for photography that convinced us that he was the man for the job. As with all weddings, there was a lot to stress about, but I'm pleased to say that for us the photos wasn't one of them. Frank made the whole process easy, stress-free and most importantly managed to effortlessly (or at least it seemed) capture some fantastic moments from the day which me, my wife, our family and friends absolutely loved.

During the day he managed to be enthusiastic and make the process fun while always respecting the occasion and our guests. He even managed to find the brides family heirloom which she dropped during the couples photo's, which saved the day and added to the occasion. All in all, we are over the moon with the work he has produced and couldn't recommend him more.

After the big day has passed and you have been on your honeymoon it can be easy to forget all the little nuances and moments, but Franks photos have allowed us to look back and really feel the joy and emotions of the day! Thanks, Frank, Alex & Gemma

Frank was the photographer for our wedding in April. The end result was a wonderful album that we are both delighted with. The album is an amazing visual record of what was a truly special day for us both and tells the story of the day very well. From the very beginning, Frank's communication was excellent, really friendly and easy going but clearly someone who knows his stuff inside and out.

On our first meeting he went through all of our options and there was absolutely no pressure to make specific choices, just really good advice based on his experience. On the day, Frank worked incredibly hard but maintained a relaxed, calm demeanour throughout and in the best way possible I can say that we really weren't aware that he was there most of the time.

He managed to capture the day in such a great way and was incredibly professional, courteous yet friendly and unobtrusive with us and all of our guests. Ultimately though, you judge a photographer by the quality of the images that they capture - you only have one chance to get it right. In this regard Frank created a massive problem for us by taking over 300 absolutely amazingly crystal clear photographs which took us weeks to sort through to make our choices to include in the album.

For anyone planning their big day we cannot recommend Frank highly enough. A fantastic guy, friendly with a great sense of humour who is very passionate about what he does and who delivers under pressure on the day. Thank you so much Frank - our album and photos will give us great memories of the best day of our lives! Graeme and Vanessa

I had the pleasure of seeing Frank in action at a wedding at the weekend. A real professional in action, he knew where to be at the right time to get the best shots. He took that extra special effort to provide a truly professional service!

Hi Frank, Just want to say the biggest THANKYOU from Phil and I for photographing our wedding! You couldn't do enough and were discreet and professional throughout. We love every single one of our images and with both of us being in the industry it goes without saying that choosing the perfect man for the job was imperative! Hope to work with you again in the future! Lisa x

Amazing photographer! Frank photographed our Wedding Party and he blended into the background for the whole night and captured every single moment. His attention to detail and quality of shots is second to none. We would recommend him to anyone.

Literally cannot recommend Frank any more highly! What a great chap and a fantastic photographer. He managed to perfectly merge blending into the background whilst taking pictures with orchestrating me and my new wife so we didn't look like deer in the headlights! On getting the photos back we were stunned at the quality and quantity of them. Everything you could imagine in terms of the pictures in there (including me stuffing my face with cake), some great retouching work on the pics (the wedding shoes were the bride's something old and he's made them look flawless) and everything we asked for catered to, even last minute requests. Do yourself a favour and book in with him asap!!!

We were delighted with the pictures Frank took at our son's naming ceremony. He was friendly and professional and managed to get loads of great shots despite tricky conditions (low light, crowded and inside, fast moving subjects!). Definitely recommend.

Frank Wood is an innovative and talented photographer and I would recommend him without any reservation. My partner and I were absolutely delighted with the results of a recent shoot; he directed us with humour and the resulting photos covered the perfect range of classic and arty. Exactly what we wanted.

I knew we had to have Frank to photograph our wedding as soon as we saw his work - particularly the photos he's taken at our chosen venue. And we weren't disappointed! We can't stop looking at our amazing photographs, and choosing favourites for the album is proving to be a real struggle!! The few 'posed' photographs we asked for are just stunning and the rest are natural and tell our story beautifully.

For most of the day Frank was in the background, very unobtrusive, just capturing the day perfectly as it unfolded.

Frank himself is a lovely guy, very open and friendly, he certainly enhanced our day. He's a perfectionist and was more than happy to lie on the ground or climb into bushes to get the perfect shot! He knew our venue well, and throughout the day he even made suggestions regarding styling and props that really made the most of the beautiful setting. We couldn't have asked for more! Thanks again Frank!
Emma Giblin
After seeing Franks photos it was a no brainer to choose him for our wedding. We didn't want to have lots of posed photos and he captured the day perfectly with loads of natural shots. He was has been great and very communicative throughout the whole process and following our wedding and very unobtrusive during the day. We couldn't be happier with our photos and looking forward to looking back at them for many years to come!
Laura Aucott
What can i say about Frank, in a word, just wow! Frank is the nicest man and really made our day special. The photos we have seen so far have been incredible, and Frank did everything he could to get the best shots he could find, including lying down in wet grass to get the most amazing sunset shot! Thank you so much Frank for everything - the family love you
Samantha Evans
Absolutely amazing!!
Frank was so professional and truly lovely throughout the day. Very very talented and the pictures we have seen so far of our day are stunning. Never even knew he was there capturing all the best moments. Highly recommend him, booking him was the best thing we did for our wedding!
Excited to see the rest of what he captured of the best day of our lives. Thanks Frank!

Frank is an amazing photographer, the pictures are absolutely stunning! The album looks incredibly professional, and I can’t stop smiling looking through the lovely photos of the day. Frank captured our special day beautifully - the photos are really natural. We got so many compliments on them from guests and even other suppliers. Unsurprisingly, Frank is clearly really popular and busy, but he was always really responsive right from our engagement shoot to the wedding day. He was also fun, lovely and easy-going on the day - we were really lucky to have him there with us. Thank you so much Frank for your hard work and commitment!
Tammy Lindsay
Frank you did absolutely amazing with our wedding photos!! We can't thank you enough for all your hard work,your patience, and excellent communication throughout. We were unfortunate with the rain to say the least and to be honest i dreaded seeing how the photo's turned out as i had convinced myself they were going to be terrible but we were absolutely over the moon with them and i don't know how he did it but the rain did not spoil them at all.

Even though Frank had a heartbreaking family emergency to deal with half way through the day, he handled it so professionally and sorted everything so it did not affect the wedding at all and for that i am forever greatful Frank, thank you! Don't hesitate if you are considering him for your wedding, he did an amazing job from start to finish and the photographs have exceeded our expectations. Thanks again Frank!!
