A little Bit About Me

Life rarely follows a straight path, and mine certainly hasn’t. From a young age, astrophysics captured my imagination, leading me to pursue it academically at university.. Today, after over 15 fulfilling years as a documentary wedding photographer, I find myself forever grateful for the surprising turn of events.

This journey has opened doors to incredible experiences, breathtaking locations, fascinating strangers and their stories, and, most importantly, the privilege of witnessing profound connections between couples and their loved ones. Capturing the raw emotions, candid moments, and genuine joy of a wedding lies at the heart of what I do. For me it feels like a form of creative anthropology, a means to document the beautiful human stories that unfold on a wedding day.

A wedding day is an intimate celebration, and I believe in fostering a relaxed and trusting atmosphere. My presence is unobtrusive, like another guest participating, chatting, and delighting in the conversations. Yet, I remain observant, always present to capture those fleeting moments of tenderness and connection. Beyond photography, I strive to be a calming and supportive presence throughout your wedding journey.

I possess a genuine curiosity about everything, which perfectly complements my work as a wedding photographer. From typefaces and town planning to neuroscience and engineering, I find joy in learning about even the seemingly mundane.  Documentaries about motorway construction, geology, and even air crash investigations hold a fascination for me. As the renowned theoretical physicist Richard Feynman wrote at length, there’s a “pleasure of finding things out.” Making the world even more beautiful when I consider and understand how it works.

Music is another cornerstone of my life. In fact, my career began in music photography.  It’s a powerful force in the human experience, with the ability to shift moods and forge connections. One unusual fact about me is I was the co-instigator of the campaign to make Rage Against the Machine’s song Christmas number one… and have plenty of stories (and pictures) to share about that surreal experience!

The greatest lessons in life often come from our closest relationships. My three wonderful sons, now adults, have taught me more than they’ll ever know. They’ve become the intelligent, kind, and witty people I always hoped to raise and put out into this world.
