I’m a photographer who enjoys photographing weddings. I work from his studio in Brighton, and I photograph all shapes & sizes of wedding in East Sussex, West Sussex, Kent, Surrey and all over the South East of England. I’m passionate about recording everything that’s special about each and every wedding, but I’m as much known for my relaxed and friendly approach to wedding guests, as I am for my photography style. Oh, and I was a journalist for many years too. Hence the writing.
More About Me
I fell in love with photography when my late mother handed me a camera on a skiing holiday when I was five years old and asked me to take a photo of her. I still have that photo, and it’s not bad!
One day the web came along, and in the early days I decided to create a web site for my snaps. I started to get fan mail from around the globe, and I realised I was more than a competent amateur photographer. Some messages were from professionals who were very complimentary about my work. Others were from people wanting to buy my photographs. And so finally I turned pro, with much help and encouragement from my mum (to whom my work is a living tribute) and my friends, and found that my naturalistic style was very much en-vogue.
Always refusing to over-specialise, I maintain that one sort of photography enables me to do another. Photojournalism, fashion, model portfolios, commercial, landscape, food… they’re all to be found in abundance at weddings – but there’s more. Emotion and beauty are the cornerstones of my work. I love weddings, because I love people. Photography is a lifelong passion for me, and I look forward to photographing you.
I live in Brighton with my two children, my girlfriend, and a Jack Russell. I don’t think I look like Alastair McGowan or sound like Alan Rickman.
