Hey there !
TOBY LIDSTONE PHOTOGRAPHY
YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN DEVON
Home is Devon, but I cover the whole of the UK
I was going to write some poetic nonsense about the art of wedding photography...
​
But truth is, I’m just a normal guy who loves meeting people, having a laugh, and absolutely bloody loves capturing weddings.
Weddings are beautifully chaotic. One minute it’s all nerves and tissues and the next thing your nan’s doing shots. I’m there for every bit of it, the madness, the mess, and everything in between.
Now, I do love a good couples shoot. Not the stiff, staged kind where you feel like a pair of awkward mannequins, I’m talking about the real stuff. A bit of quiet, a breather from the crowd, just the two of you being yourselves (with me tagging along and saying stupid stuff to make you laugh). We’ll get photos that actually feel like you, not like you're pretending.
No weird posing, no faff, no pressure. Just genuine moments, caught without making the whole thing feel like a bloody photoshoot.
So if you want someone who’ll show up, blend in like one of the guests, and give you cracking photos without annoying you, then we’ll get on just fine.
But, why me?
Choosing your wedding photographer isn’t easy, I get it. I actually got married myself not too long ago, so I fully understand what it’s like being the one awkwardly stood in front of the camera, wondering what the hell to do with your hands.
So let me say this: I’ll do everything I can to make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and like your actual selves, not the weird version of you that pops out when someone says “act natural.” Whether we’re doing couples shots or just capturing the madness as it unfolds, I’m there to help you feel at ease, have a laugh, and actually enjoy it.
Bit of a proud moment, I’ve been named PROWED Awards Top UK Photographer and somehow managed to land a global ranking at #39 (don’t ask me how, I’m still figuring that out). On top of that, a couple of my photos made it as finalists in the International Wedding Photographer of the Year Awards and I was lucky enough to be named one of their Emerging Artists, which is pretty lovely.
When I’m not out shooting weddings, I’m mentoring other photographers, helping them level up their work without the fluff or ego. Because good photography should be for everyone, not just the loudest people on Instagram.
