My Philosophy
It's ALL about the people
My goal is simple – to put you at complete ease about your wedding photography, capture you having the time of your lives and deliver a stunning visual record of your wedding that you’ll absolutely LOVE!
A Day 'In The Moment'
My 'style' is really just fun, informal, documentary, genuine and candid. While I'll shoot a few formal group photographs if requested, couples who book me tend to be looking for a contemporary style and a photographer who works in the margins, lets the day flow and seeks to capture creative images of people being themselves. Genuine, uninhibited emotions fuel my passion for photography and it's such frozen moments in time that will continually evoke the wave of feelings that you felt on your wedding day for the rest of your lives. You'll notice that not many of my images are of camera-aware subjects because such images are rarely genuine and often don't reflect the relationships between the people I'm capturing. While I will always capture the key 'details' of the day, my priority always remains 'the people'. A great way to get a real feel for my work is the wedding gallery along with the 'featured' weddings on my blog. My aim is a perfect balance of authentic story-telling and timeless, stunning portraits.
I absolutely love telling the story of wedding days through images - my goal is not merely to document the day but to deliver photographs that genuinely remind you of how you felt during some of the most significant moments of your life. I focus on the small and the big moments as well as those in between. The briefest glance, touch or embrace can mean so much and collectively say so much more than a collection of formal or posed images. I particularly love to capture relaxed wedding days where the focus really is on fun, where the couple want to spend the absolute maximum amount of time possible living the day 'in the moment' and where the wedding day is never in danger of being remembered as one long photo-shoot. My own wedding day was one of the best days of my life and I get a huge buzz out of observing, documenting and contributing to each couple's memories of a lifetime. It really is all about you, your day and your loved ones.
"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have captured is captured forever. It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything."
Aaron Siskind
"Much of the secret of life consists in knowing how to laugh, and also how to breathe."

YOUR PHILOSOPHY
I love it when couples are care-free and squeeze every bit of fun out of their wedding days, putting their trust in me to document their story naturally as it unfolds. If you think that sounds like you, we could be a great team! Over time, I've also learned that the very best photo opportunities don't always arrive at the optimum part of a wedding schedule and sometimes require a bit of extra commitment and flexibility on the part of bride and groom (and me!) if the opportunity is to be taken. While I aim to ensure couples have 'maximum guest' and 'minimum photographer' time, working with couples who trust me to use the best that their day delivers in terms of light and weather to capture the most memorable images is fundamental to creating a stunning selection of wedding photographs.
While I only ever suggest creative ideas to couples, some of my best images have been captured when brides and grooms have trusted me enough to nip out between food courses and be led into the rain or across cornfields to hunt down the very best light of the day. I won't lie and say that dresses and shoes haven't occasionally got a little muddy but, in every case, these adventurous couples have had their faith rewarded with some very special images that they absolutely love. These photographs will be treasured and of course live long beyond the memories of the effort required to achieve them. If you want the very best wedding photographs and are willing to place your trust in me to go the extra mile to find that perfect light and create something very special together, I'd absolutely LOVE to hear from you!
"Detail, properly selected, is more powerful than a picture of the complete subject. A symbol often expresses a dramatic occurrence more clearly than the event itself. Imagination and sensitive discipline of the subconscious are prerequisites here."
