Your wedding. Your story. Photographed beautifully.

After more than 300 weddings, I know that the best photographs rarely come from trying to manufacture moments.  They come from knowing when to step forward, when to disappear into the background, and when something extraordinary is about to happen.

My approach is relaxed, instinctive and unobtrusive. I want you to spend your wedding day with the people you love — not with your photographer, though of course, there are moments when a little direction is invaluable.  Family photographs need organising, portraits need beautiful light, and sometimes five minutes in the right place can create an image you’ll keep for the rest of your life.  I’ll guide you when you need me and leave you alone when you don’t.

EXPERIENCE MATTERS

I’ve photographed more than 300 weddings over 17 years, in London, across the UK and around the world.  From stately homes in Surry to Vineyards in Sydney and from castles in Tuscany to beaches in Singapore.

That experience means very little surprises me… Weddings are unpredictable.  Timings change and the weather turns….  Light disappears (even people too!), and occasionally the carefully considered plan goes completely out of the window.  That’s part of what makes them wonderful.  My job is to anticipate what’s happening, adapt quickly and take beautiful photographs regardless — while allowing you to enjoy the day without feeling as though you’re on a photoshoot.

THE PHOTOGRAPHS

I want your photographs to have both beauty and honesty.  The grand moments matter, of course, but so do the fleeting ones: a glance across a room, your father’s expression before the ceremony, a friend laughing uncontrollably, the few quiet seconds the two of you find together amongst the noise and chaos…

My work combines documentary photography with considered portraiture, leaning heavily on my 2o years of well known and widely published work in the travel and fashion sectors.  The result is a collection that doesn’t simply show how your wedding looked, but brings back how it felt.

AND ON THE DAY…

You shouldn’t have to think about the photography.  By the time your wedding arrives, I’ll know what matters to you, who matters to you and how the day is expected to unfold.  All thats left to do is loose yourself in the joy of the day and have no doubt that every moment, every laugh and every kiss will be documented.
