I am an award winning photographer that has been a full time photographer for over 10 years, I have a huge passion for the outdoors and exploring new spots, I also do a lot of Astro-photography .
I've got an academic background and specialised in microscope optics. I decided to crawl out of the university basements and enjoy the outdoors, I do Astro-photography to keep my inner nerd happy. I really love shooting weddings I like the excitement and happiness of bringing everyone together and having a good time. I also like building things, the most interesting thing I have build is a 15ft Canadian canoe that is called the Jammy Dodger.

Fantastic photographer
Stuart is a fantastic photographer and we could not be happier with the experience that we’ve had with him from the beginning to the end. We live in London and contacted quite a few photographers before finally booking Stuart after FaceTiming him. He was extremely friendly and an absolute star on our wedding day. He captured all the moments without being intrusive and we felt completely at ease and comfortable as he worked away in the background.

Bound by Light Captured the Personality of our We
Stuart is a wonderful photographer and all round top guy! He really made our engagement and wedding photos personal and “us”. It’s amazing how he can capture individual personalities in his art and get those natural moments at our best. We’ll treasure those photos always…and look back fondly on all the laughs and good times we had along the way! Thank you Stuart :)

Exceptional Photographer

Could not have wished for a better photographer.
Was nervous about having our pictures taken at our wedding as we aren't used to having our pictures taken but Stuart was absolutely amazing. He made us both feel as ease instantly and wasn't too focused on poses, and didn't take us away from our day for too long for photoshoots. Our pictures look very natural and capture the true essence of the day. He was also very approachable and you could ask him for certain photos you would like and he would

Stuart exceeded those expectations and then some!
My wife and I carefully researched wedding photographers and decided to hire Stuart (Bound by Light) for our engagement and wedding photos. My wife's father is a professional photographer, and so our expectations were high. Stuart exceeded those expectations and then some! From the beginning, Stuart made us feel comfortable and at ease, developing the easy rapport required for natural looking pictures. For our engagement photos, he knew the right spots to go to and the right times to be there, resulting in great light and stunning backdrops. In addition to wedding photography, Stuart has a passion for astral photography (starry skies, etc) and the cherry on the cake for our engagement photos was a beautiful picture of the two of us on an old bridge lit by the stars of the milky way. A magical shot that few other wedding photographers could have captured! At the wedding, Stuart worked tirelessly to capture every element from casual preparations (including a walk in the venue's grounds), to the bride in her dress, to another unique picture of the two of us silhouetted against a fiery sunset. He even waded out into a thigh-deep river to get the perfect shot. The quality of all the photos was exceptional, and we got more than anyone has any right to expect. Needless to say, we were delighted. Bound By Light deserves to be a well-known name in wedding photography. I cannot recommend Stuart highly enough. Thank you so much, Stuart!

He is just simply top class!
Stuart is a fantastic photographer and we could not be happier with the experience that we’ve had with him from the beginning to the end. We live in London and contacted quite a few photographers before finally booking Stuart after FaceTiming him. He was extremely friendly and an absolute star on our wedding day. He captured all the moments without being intrusive and we felt completely at ease and comfortable as he worked away in the background. All my guests loved him and he is able to put people together quickly for group photos. He knew our wedding venue very well and set up brilliant photos including lots of beautiful ones of us rowing in Loch Awe. He is an expert in astrophotography as well and gave us the most beautiful photo of us underneath the starry sky. We would absolutely recommend booking Stuart as a wedding photographer.

Describe how you got into photography.

I've always carried a camera while I was growing up. I've always been a digital person. I've always felt it gave me creative control, my first camera was an Olympus with 1.3 mega pixels. (I'm now shooting with a pair of Nikon Z9 cameras) when I was doing a PhD in Optics I fell in with a wedding photographer. I just did it for fun and company never found the weddings stressful. after the PhD I found that microscopes don't like vibration or light and are always found in windowless basements. So one day I just found the yearning to be outside with happy people to strong and I left the basement and became a full time photographer.
