Style, class, and extreme happiness were the main themes that ran through Alice and Edward’s wedding. Although the weather was friendly and stayed dry, an overcast sky offered the best possible light to capture the joy that emanated from these two and their loved ones.  The venue itself was spectacular, featuring old-school Elizabethan and Victorian architecture right from the gate to the buildings, and stunning private gardens that make for beautiful photos. Not to mention the magnificent Elmore Church, which truly is a piece of history, as it dates back to the 13th century.  But b ..read more

Not even the overcast weather could dampen the spirits of these two! In fact, the clouds and light rain only made this intimate wedding more cosy.  Aisha and Marcus’ wedding wasn't quite the detailed affair they’d dreamed of. The pandemic meant they had to have a much more compact ceremony than they’d originally intended.  However, the venue (Vineyard, Stockcross) was the perfect spot for these two, and their energy filled the space with love, excitement, and a lot of joyful humour.  The event got off to a busy start. With 45 minutes before the ceremony began, these two took th ..read more

Delighted to have recently been featured on Shotkit - a site that discusses the kit used by wedding photographers across the globe.

I’ve been shooting weddings since 2004.  After a few years of creating photography that I really hated, I turned my attention to working in a photography style that I truly believed in. During my career, I ..read more
