Welcome to my wedding pages!

I have 30 years experience as a professional photographer. For years family and friends have begged me to photograph their weddings because of the reportage style photographs I produced.

They were natural candid photographs, informal photographs in a relaxed style which captured the essence, the atmosphere and the fun of the wedding day. In the 21st century that style of wedding photography is now very fashionable, but it's how I have always photographed weddings.......
Guests are always amazed at how fast I work, but editorial photographers have always worked fast. Any formal photographs can be completed within 10 minutes - mum and gran always like some traditional images as it's often the only time families get together - it is a day of record for them.... so I'm happy to provide!
There's no hanging about waiting for the photographer, dying for a drink, wishing that you were elsewhere, hanging about for hours on end while 'the photographer' performs ...
I'm a bit more professional than many of the 'wedding' photographers you may have come across! I try to accomodate all budgets and offer total flexibility if you want creative professional wedding photography.
I usually spend a minimum of 6 hours capturing the the fun, detail, the colour, the characters, the ambience of your wedding day from getting ready to the first dance of the evening and often beyond.
I become part of your family for the day, blending in to be able to capture the images that produce a brilliant record of your wedding.
Sometimes I stay up to 12 hours or, in the past, up to 2 days or a week if it is abroad, depending on your plans and my schedule is always flexible, it's YOUR day. I have a passion for photography and a passion for YOUR wedding day.
You are not wedding number 46 of the year .... you are a special bride, not just another bride. We will have a bond, a personal attachment, it's YOUR BIG DAY and working with you and your fiancee and family, I can't fail to capture great images that tell the story of your day!
Nothing, but nothing is a problem, and there's always Plan B. in fact there's always a Plan C!
Contact me on the telephone numbers, or e-mail to check dates, availability and to book a relaxed meeting to have a chat at your wedding venue - I'll buy the coffee!... or I can come to your home.... and there's no obligation. READ MY TESTIMONIALS HERE and my BLOG HERE
