Wedding Photographer – Cantley House Hotel – Wokingham – Berkshire

Rachel and Michael.


I remember my first meeting with Rachel and Michael when they were first looking for a wedding photographer. “We don’t really like having our photo taken. In fact we haven’t got a single photo of us together”. There was a pause as they waited for a reaction. I get this a lot when I meet couples. The surprising thing is that I have only had one couple who were super confident about having their photo taken. My solution is simple. Just enjoy the day and your pictures will be fine.

They soon relaxed when we met for a second time at The Cantley House Hotel for their pre-wedding shoot. There is no mystery around what happens on a shoot. We just chat and I shoot some images, it’s all very informal. In fact, on the day itself, they were so relaxed; their natural sense of fun took over. We had a real laugh capturing special moments of Rachel & Michael, and their friends, enjoying a wonderful wedding day.

Oxfordshire Wedding Photographer

Claire and Jamie.


The one thing I love when a couple decide to have their wedding celebrations in the grounds of their home is that everyone is instantly relaxed as most are already familiar with the surroundings.

Claire got ready for her big day in a lovely home which belonged to a member of the family. Jamie and Claire also erected a marquee in the back garden. However, this back garden contained a folly or two, tennis court, pool, bridge and some wonderfully mature trees, all within meters of each other. So not only was everyone having a swell time in the afternoon sun, I was able to take some lovely images of Claire and Jamie around the grounds and then walk the few meters back to where all the fun was happening.

Wedding Photographer – Lymington – The New Forest – Hampshire

Tara and Adam.


There’s something special about the sunlight near the seaside. It seems a more crisp and clear. We had a gorgeous sunny day when we photographed Tara and Adam’s wedding day in Lymington in The New Forest.

We like talking to couples to get their story. Tara and Adam have known each other since childhood, so we took them back to the place where they used to play as kids for some special bride and groom photos. Then it was back to Tara’s childhood home where they partied into the night. What wonderful night it was. Couldn’t resist the temptation for one last shot of the two of them, in the moonlight, before heading back to the studio.

Wedding Photographer – Wasing Park – Aldermaston – Reading – Berkshire

Claire and Adam.


I was really excited to be booked as wedding photographer at Wasing Park. It’s a relatively new venue, but has already won a “Best Venue” award and shortlisted for another.

I always reassure couples to just enjoy their day and we can capture the moments. Wasing Park has a lovely church within the estate and well tended gardens, Claire and Adam soon relaxed into their day. It’s always nice to spend a few moments away from the madness, and we used this time to take some shots of them around the gardens.

A wonderful couple with a natural sense of fun!

Wedding Photographer – Hotel Miramar – Bournemouth – Dorset

Svetlana and Russell.


In all my time as a wedding photographer, I had never covered a seaside wedding. Then in 2011, I got three of them! This one at the Hotel Miramar in Bournemouth was also an outdoor wedding. The weather was just perfect. They also popped down to the beach for a walk. This made for a stunning backdrop for wedding photos of the two of them.
