Emily and John’s Cambridge wedding at St Bene’t’s church. Back in March I was Emily and John’s St Bene’t’s church wedding photographer. The couple live in America so all previous meetings with them had been on Zoom, it was lovely to finally meet them in person at The Graduate Hotel in Cambridge which is where...
I was really pleased to discover I’d won an award from Photographers keeping it real, an organisation dedicated to documentary unposed wedding photographer in the U.K. The quality of award winning images is always very high and you never really know what type of image might be selected for an award. So here is my...
As a documentary wedding photographer I’m always thinking of how images fit together to tell the story of the day and for that reason my blog posts usually have around 50 to 80 images. However it is of course possible to tell a story in just one image. This is from a recent wedding in...
Wet weather wedding photography As a wedding photographer an often asked question from clients is what happens if it rains on my wedding day.

When I set up as a wedding photographer back in 1999/2000 nobody had...
After the mad rush of all the 2011 weddings I finally get a couple of weeks without any weddings and some time to reflect on the past year. This is a great opportunity for me to start creating wedding venue pages, something I have been meaning to get around to for several months. I visit...
I really enjoy getting lovely messages from couples when they view their wedding photographs. I was taken by suprise today when I got a message on Facebook from one of the very first weddings I photographed. Simon, we’ve been married ten years this year – your photographs are still admired by all who see them....
Yesterday I ventured out into The Wash from the River Nene to photograph Dylan Winter who is slowly sailing around the UK in a small sailing boat. I live 5 minutes walk from the River Nene in Northamptonshire, so it was interesting to see the River where it meets the sea. I joined Dylan at...
