So, here's a little bit about me. I am married to Anna and we have two wonderful kids; Jago and Ruby. We live in Farnham, Surrey but I travel all over the country shooting weddings, something I've been doing ince 2003. In my spare time (of which I have loads, of course) I play golf, tennis and have become a bit of a CrossFit addict. It all helps when I am on my feet all day at a wedding, or mucking about on a family shoot. Why do I like photographing weddings, families and people in general? I like the notion that I am creating a little slice of social history. I record people, their friends, their family and their special occasions; memories that might otherwise be fuzzy or even lost. My aim is to try to make the best photograph that exists of the person or people in question. To make photos that will sit on the mantlepiece or in the album, be passed down through the generations and say, "That was me, that was us, look what we did together". Wedding photos should get more and more important and valuable the further away from the wedding day you get. It's incredibly satisfying and has never once felt like a job.
