Katie & Owen are not only lovely people, but they're also incredibly talented jugglers!
When they asked me if it was possible to make a picture that showed their passion for their shared hobby I had just the idea in mind. We went as the sun was setting and the rest (as they say) is history :)

Georgina & Peter's wedding was every kind of awesome! From the moment I arrived, it was a high octane pleasure to document and the shooting opportunities were in abundance.
Towards the end of the evening, I invited this gorgeous couple out for some sunset portraits (accompanied by Georgina's fun-loving brother). As my couple shoot, holding each other in a field behind their wedding venue I wanted to create a portrait that incorporated the spirit of the day, and then this idea came to me.
The rest, as they say, is history :)

If I’m lucky enough to shoot your wedding (and you’re thinking of a pre-wedding shoot) I’ll always ask you to think big! Kaiyan & Xiao went big - and we ended up driving over to Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk (in the UK) to shoot some epic sunset portraits. This gorgeous image was taken just as the sun was going to sleep, framed perfectly by the iconic Norfolk beach huts :)

I loved every part of Kayleigh’s wedding; from the second I turned up early in the morning until late in the evening when when the dance floor had filled and emptied. It was a day full of love, emotion and connection where two families joined to become one. The bridal prep was wonderfully relaxed - as Kayleigh got into her dress her bridesmaids went into another room so they could all see Kayleigh for the first time together. With a little careful planning this moment happened just before the wedding ceremony. I love little opportunities like this, they’re legitimate and beautifully help to tell a story.
As I like to say, it’s all about the moments between the moments.

When Charlotte & Neil promised all the fun of the fair they literally meant it!
This gorgeous couple hired in the most incredible merry go round to entertain their guests on their wedding day - but before opening it up to the kids they took it for a test drive. This amazing picture was taken as the ride was spinning at full speed! I love the quirkiness and uniqueness of their wedding - it was a please and joy to document.

I love the golden hour, it's my favorite time of the day for portraits!
It's not just the light itself though, I like that the couple has been married for a few hours and things seem calmer, more relaxed. Here's a portrait of Step shot at the incredible Notley Abbey in the UK. It was during this exact time of the day that I captured this gorgeous moment as she was preparing her veil for a picture. It's the moments between the moments :)

I love this candid moment during the father of the brides's speech :)
Emma's dad was explaining (both verbally and non-verbally) that you should never go to bed on an argument. His solution? Simple; for every husband to always agree with his wife!
I had preempted that something was going to happen when I noticed the covered signed before the speeches had started so I made sure that periodically I and was in the right spot with a 24mm lens which enabled me to capture the action.

The weather has been typically British from the go; wind followed by rain and then gorgeous sun (and repeat…). The clouds cleared for a few minutes during the golden hour and so we went out for some portraits. On the return I casually asked Sammy if she planned on throwing her bouquet (it wasn’t something we had planned but Sammy was super ken). I just had a couple of minutes to change lenses and get into position - the planets aligned with this incredible light in the background, and the icing on the cake is the rugby style lift in the background.

I didn't have a plan of action but for Rachel & Adrian's portraits but it was important to me that I make at least 1 picture that showed this beautiful couple's joyful and wild personality. As we wondered back from shooting along a country lane I noted this textured background in a farmyard and then started playing with idea's and layers. I love taking on a creative challenge and making new pictures that challenge the idea of 'norm'...

Who said the groom's head has to be in shot anyway :)

Chloe & Joe's wedding was incredible in every possible way - it was a day packed full of love, uniqueness and sensational moments, and of course their first dance was no exception. Held in the orangery at the epic Aynhoe Park in the UK, Chloe & Joe danced to a carefully choreographed routine surrounded by their friends and family (and looked on by a curious giraffe). This picture was taken at the end of their dance, although you can't see their reactions you can just imagine the look on their faces!
