I love being a wedding photographer! To be the trusted photographer to record one of the most important and happiest days of someone’s life is such an honour – and a huge responsibility, of course. Sometimes everything doesn’t go exactly to plan, though. Oh, what the heck, let’s be honest: at every wedding there’s something…
Fantastic fun photographing and spending the afternoon doing make-up and hair and all things girly with Rifa the other day! Neither of us have really been that girly in our lives, both having worked in traditionally male dominant techy jobs and not that much interested in ‘hats and shoes’. But sometimes it is nice to…
I photographed two weddings this week. First one was Amy and Steve’s wedding at Crondon Park Golf & Country Club in Essex. They had a beautiful barn venue there for weddings, and as I got there early, I was like a kid in a candy shop shooting lots of photos of the room and table decorations….
I have taken quite a few business portraits recently in London and Brighton and anywhere in between. I have been very lucky in having great people to work with, and I have enjoyed the shoots very much. My aim is always to make people relax and be comfortable in front of the camera. And I…
I had another Beauty Portrait shoot the other day – this time with the wonderful Steph who is a plumber/tiler/massager. Steph really needed a good photo of herself but was dreading being photographed. I asked her to put her trust in me as I specialise in taking beautiful photos of people who hate having their…
Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Georgina and Rob’s wedding at Buxted Park, East Sussex. It was an unexpected winter wedding at the end of March, but Mother Nature was forgiven in the afternoon as she gave us some lovely sunlight just before sunset. Here are just a few photos as a sneak…
I was interviewed by the lovely Jackie James the other day. Jackie is a wedding planner (who specialises in vintage wedding dresses) and wedding blogger extraordinaire. Here is a snippet from my interview: “My father was a photojournalist and because of that I never learned to ‘smile for the camera’ when I was growing up; he…
I had a super fun couples portrait shoot on Saturday with Chung and Kirsty. We took some natural light portraits first – And at the end of the shoot, I suggested we’d include their two dogs that they had brought with them to take a ‘family portrait’. Good fun was had by all – I…
I will be taking more and more beautiful portraits of women this year. I can’t wait to get started! Whenever I am not busy photographing weddings, I will be having Beauty Portrait Shoots and making women look and feel the most beautiful they have ever been. For more information, please send me an e-mail at…
