Hello, I am Will.

The Photographer

I photograph the day
so you can live inside it again.

I am the photographer behind Refract, and I started this studio for a simple reason. The most important day of your life moves faster than anyone warns you, and when it is over, the photographs are what you are left holding. I wanted to make the kind that give the day back to you, again and again, long after it has passed.

My work lives somewhere between editorial and documentary. I will guide you gently when it helps, so you always look like the truest version of yourselves, and then I will disappear, because the moments that matter most are the ones that happen when you have forgotten a camera is even in the room. The held breath before the vows. The laugh no one planned. The look that passes between you when you think no one is watching.

I work quietly, I work close, and I take on only a handful of weddings each year, so that yours has my full attention from the first conversation to the final gallery.

Why I Shoot Film

Some moments deserve more
than a file on a drive.

Every Refract wedding is photographed on analog film alongside digital. Never as a novelty, and never as an upgrade you have to ask for, but because 35mm and medium format film hold light, skin, and color in a way nothing else does. Film slows me down. It makes me wait for a moment rather than chase it. And it gives your gallery a depth and a warmth that is, quite simply, how I see, the difference between a photograph that records your day and one that feels like it.

You Are in Good Hands

You will rarely meet just me. My partner, Alex, works alongside me on every wedding, looking after the parts of the day you should never have to think about, so the two of you are free to simply be present.
