A collection of real weddings shot in a documentary photography style. Real moments captured not staged.
It is not often that I have the opportunity to photograph a wedding close to home. This past weekend presented one such rare occasion. In fact, the final image from the wedding captures a view of my hometown, South Woodham Ferrers, as a twinkling lightscape across the River Crouch. Brandy Hole must be the only…
I do love a Bristol wedding so I was more than happy to pop down the M4 for the wedding of Madeline and Pete. I was particularly impressed by Emma, the minister at the beautiful St Alban’s Church, not only does she refuse to do the “who gives this woman” part because, as she explained,…
Ashleigh and Duncan left London behind for a wedding in the countryside of Suffolk at one of my favourite venues Alpheton Hall Barns. The day started off at the nearby Hall Barn where Ashleigh and her family were staying, a lovely little calming place to get ready for the ceremony at the St Peter’s and…
This was quite an adventure for me, one that started in Essex at 4am one morning when I set off in my car heading for Kilkenny!What a long, but pretty drive that was. I first met Ally a couple of years before her day, she was at her cousin Avril’s wedding in the Cotswolds, so…
I had so much fun at this wedding at the Houchins wedding venue. Claire and her family used to be my neighbours, here in South Woodham Ferrers. When Claire was still in school, she’d serve me in the local corner shop, and I’d hear her and her brother Iain practising playing their musical instruments from…
Before the wedding I had a bit of extra time to get to know Kirsty and Christos because we met up on the South Bank for a few engagement pictures. Strangers can be so friendly when you are taking pictures of a beautiful couple in a busy place! The wedding day was beautiful, even when…
What a treat this wedding was! On a crisp winter’s day at Gosfield Hall, Tess and Dave brought some much-needed romance and glamour to January. With a nip in the air, Gosfield Hall was a great choice of venue. The dining room is particularly cosy for a wintery wedding breakfast, and as always, Gaynor was…
What a lovely day this was. Full of familiar faces that I usually only see in a little circle online! Gary and I have been twitter friends for quite a few years so when it came to planning his wedding with Alexa he remembered me. We have a few mutual friends online and it was…
Jessica is a wonderful artist from Cheltenham so I felt rather honoured to have been chosen to capture the beginning of her married life with Paul. We started out at The Swan in Bibury on a lovely sunny day in October (so far, in my experience, the autumn weddings usually are) and then headed on to…
A few weeks ago, I found myself on a farm in Hook-a-Gate, Shropshire surrounded by many familiar faces, including Sarah and Duncan. They have been guests at many of my past weddings back home and had fairly recently moved. We all came up from Essex for their wedding day. Sadly, we did not manage to…
This was such a fun wedding for me as I remembered Anna and Paul (and the other guests) so well from Kati and Dave’s wedding back in 2014. I especially remembered Anna’s dance moves, which I am pleased to say I saw again on the very enthusiastic dance floor! The ceremony was held at the…
A couple of days after the wedding we all headed off to Dwejra Bay for a sunset photoshoot by the Azure Window. Fans of Game of Thrones will recognise it! We were very lucky indeed to get the opportunity because sadly the Azure Window is no more. Last month it collapsed during a storm (click to…
I don’t really need to tell you what an utter treat it was to be invited to shoot Heather and Rich’s wedding in Gozo last September! Everyone, from their family and friends to the staff at the hotel made me feel beyond welcome. We all stayed a the Cornucopia Hotel where Brian and his team…
Back in sunny September the day started with Sarah’ mum knitting, knitting little clothes for babies in Africa and organising a quilt of messages from guests. I even filled a square of goodwishes in too. What a creative and kind start to a lovely day and a lovely marriage. There was no chance of taking a serious…
