Hi I’m Heff, 

Owner and Photographer at Heffs Photography. Back in 2011 I made the decision to chase my dreams and go full time as a wedding photographer. Previously I had done various commercial and event photography and family style studio photos. I have now been lucky enough to have photographed nearly 500 weddings for lovely couples throughout the years.

Heff photographed our big day at Alpheton Hall Barns on the 19th August and he was absolutely brilliant! His humour made us feel at ease in his company, which made for some truly stunning shots! He edited them within just 3 weeks and we’re over the moon with our wedding photos. So many happy moments captured.
His communication was great and he was reliable and punctual.
We highly recommend Heff - a talented man who will ensure your day is captured beautifully.

Heff was the best photographer! I was very nervous on the morning of my wedding, and Heff was such a calming influence. Everyone said how great Heff was. It was lovely to see him interacting with our guests too. Thank you so much Heff!

Ian was so professional from start to finish. He took loads of amazing photos! He was so patient and really good with the children that attended our wedding as well. We would definitely recommend Ian. Thank you so much again!!

Samantha Rooke

Cannot recommend Heff enough! Absolute professional while still being so lovely and chatting away to all of our guests 💜

Kyle Fisk

This man is pure class and a wonder to his profession. he is a proper down to earth guy and it was a pleasure to have him photograph our wedding. all my guests have since fed back how wonderful he was and the photos just speak for them selves. he was the cheapest by a mile (for the same package with others it would have been atleast £300 more) but this is not a case of you get what you pay for. his work is astounding and I've seen photos of others recently and they hold no light to this man's art. if you are looking for a photographer this is your man stop wondering and just get him booked. ps I had him recommended to me by a good 10 people before I booked so it shows its not just me who thinks it!

Ian is one of the best people you would love to work with. He is very friendly which makes my fiancé and I comfortable during our engagement shoot. I love the outcome of the photos as he perfectly captured candid moments. I'm so happy that we have chose him as our wedding photographer. See you again on our wedding day Ian!

Catherine Stone

I honestly can not recommend Heff enough. Not only did our wedding photos turn out insanely beautiful but he really did become part of our day. All of our guests loved him and he was brilliant with children. He was extremely professional and answered all enquiries promptly from my first enquiry until receiving the photos. If you want a photographer who clearly loves what he does and puts in 100% then go with Heff, you won't be disappointed!!

Oh Heff, where do I start! We had Ian capture our wedding day in August with his brilliant photography, we also had a pre wedding photo shoot with him earlier in the year. He done such a amazing job both times! So professional and his work is outstanding, but also makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. So many laughs had! Thankyou so much for capturing our special day with us, memories which will last forever, Jessica & Jack x

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take for me to see my wedding images ?

I usually get a small number of previews for you to see within a couple of days that will be uploaded for you to see, your final images will be ready within 28 days. Obviously during busy periods this may take longer, but as soon as I have finished editing your images I will then send your pdf containing full details on how to view them.

How do I pick my products and view my photos ?

After I have edited your Wedding photos I will then contact you with the good news that they are finished and ready for viewing. I will send you a custom pdf with full details on how to view and download your images. 

For your USB box all you have to do is send me the file name of the photo you would like on your box cover.

For your canvas print if you have one included in your Wedding package you just send me the file name of the image you would like and I can then order and send it out to you.

For those who have a Story Book you will receive another online gallery to allow you to pick the image you require in your book. After you have picked the selections I will then design your book for you and send you the design preview for you to approve before I send it off to the printers.
