About

Life is for living…..Memories for sharing and keeping. We create memories every day.

From being a small boy I have had a passion for capturing life’s special moments through the lens of a camera. Now, as a family man, that passion has taken me all over the world and given me the chance to share my talent and vision, capturing moments of excitement and humour through to moments of quiet reflection.

From marriages & iconic scenery to new born babies, special occasions and daily life, my camera is always on hand to capture that moment in time and produce an image that reflects the memory.

I use only top spec Canon DSLRs, and have a full suite of industry standard editing software but, more importantly, I have years of experience working with people from all walks of life, helping them to realise beautiful images, knowing how to blend in when I need to or stepping up to help illicit that elusive smile and knowing where to be so that I don’t miss that never to be repeated moment in time.

I prefer to use natural light to capture my subjects in their own environment to ensure that images are as natural as possible but, as you’ll see from the images on my website, I am also adept at creating more artistic image styles to provide you with something a little different.

I focus mainly on Wedding photography but I also accept commissions for portraits, event photography and commercial images amongst others. I believe that diversity helps me to grow as a photographer; it stops me from getting stuck in a rut and keeps my images fresh.

I consider myself to be a very lucky person, I don’t go to work, I just carry a camera and share special moments with special people and then, afterwards, I get to make them smile all over again, watching those smiles is the greatest reward in the world.
