About me
I got my first camera when I was eight years old.
It was a second-hand Instamatic 110 with a big purple shutter button, and I still have the first photograph that I took with it (of a four-wheel drive jeep). At school, college and university I was lucky enough to have access to darkrooms in which I could be found until late in the evening. Despite this devotion, I also enjoyed other creative disciplines and by the late 1990’s I found myself working as a graphic designer in London.
Photography remained a big part of what I did and what inspired me, and when I was asked by friends to shoot their wedding I jumped at the chance. I’d never seen myself as a wedding photographer, but I captured the day how I wanted to shoot it and enjoyed myself immensely. This was the catalyst for my new career as a full-time photographer.
Now I can’t imagine doing anything else. Each wedding is an adventure in itself with new experiences and fresh challenges. Who would have thought you could enjoy spending 8–12 hours on your feet so much?!
I am an award-winning member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association.
