MY AIM, VISION, GOAL
(and what I offer).
My aim is for people to feel that they have an expert teammate in their journey towards (and during) the most important celebrations of their lives.
I want the people who trust me to capture their wedding to feel reassured and relaxed in the knowledge that I have their back each step of the way.
I want you to feel like you have invested in an out-of-this-world service, and have incredible memories for a lifetime to come.

ABOUT ME
After years climbing the ladder in advertising & marketing, I decided that I wanted to create and capture real stories, not contrived ones.
​
Turning to photography, which has been a love of mine for as long as I can remember, I've spent the last several years capturing important, real stories in people's lives.
This has taken my own life on a journey that I could never have expected. I'm honoured to have been trusted to capture incredible, emotional, beautiful weddings & events for Royalty and celebrities around the world including Academy Award (Oscar) winners, Olympic athletes, international music stars and many wonderful, normal people.
​
I love photographing and capturing special moments with families. There's something incredibly rewarding about knowing that the images and moments that I capture for people will take pride of place in their homes for decades, perhaps generations to come.
​
I've been extremely privileged to be commissioned for each of the last six years to photograph on a prestigious book project, published for the Royal Family, the Lord Mayor of London and the Prime Minister which helps raise much-needed funds for Great Ormond Street Children's hospital in London.
​
I also support and have photographed for The Hope Foundation, a grass-roots initiative supporting desperate families in one of the poorest places in India as well as the Movember campaign, supporting men's health and wellbeing.

MY STYLE
"Ultimately, luxury isn’t about mimicking trends or being beholden to the style of the moment.
It’s about a timeless and enduring form of value: current yet classic, not cheap, but always worth it".
VOGUE
I want to bypass a current fad within wedding photography where there is a trend of desaturating vibrant colours and slapping a warm filter on everything. If your friends are pale, then that's how they will appear in all their brilliance, not Trump-orange. Brilliant blue skies should be captured and edited as such rather than over-exposed and bleached-white.
I think grass should be green and not brownish-yellow. Colours from all ends of the spectrum deserve love, and my dream is to give you images and memories in your wedding album that show how it 'felt' to be there, true and faithful to the beautiful blue skies, lush green vegetation and pale (or tanned) friends and family, with everyone and everything looking just as fantastic as it was on the day.
