I like to keep space for personal work so as to keep my creativity fresh. Last week I photographed this extraordinary contemporary dancer who is like a wild creature. It was electrifying just to be in the room with her as she created her unique improvised dance routines. In the images below I wanted to […]
I’m delighted to announce that I’ve just been invited to join the Artistic Guild of Wedding Photojournalists, an international accreditation body which invites (in my view) only the finest and most creative of reportage photographers to join their ranks.http://www.agwpja.comI believe that as it becomes increasingly common for anyone with a big camera to announce that […]
It’s amazing how a photograph can have the power to take you back to a time and a feeling. This photo of Natalie and Eoin Gillen getting married still makes me come over all sentimental. It’s partly because they look so happy and there is such a sense of momentum and romance about it. Natalie […]
Just back from a gorgeous shoot in Bury on the old Lancashire Railway line there, doing a Cherish the Dress shoot of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, aka Chloe and Jenny in their stunning wedding dresses.

The […]
This morning I found an old invitation to a friend’s wedding. I remember the excitement when I opened her envelope: I’d never seen anything like it before. A beautiful invitation with an opulent bronze bow on it that you had to untie before you could read the invitation. I tracked down the lady who created […]
All respect to Times motor racing correspondent Kevin Eason and his wife as of today, for their 60 hour marathon home in time to get married. I wish I’d been there to take the wedding pictures, (although I imagine it was hard work editing out all the bags under the groom’s eyes after 46 hours […]
Romantic and mysterious, with all those keyhole archways and orange flower scented dishes, Marrakech was the perfect place for D, my gorgeous boyfriend, and I to steal some time from our schedules for our first holiday together. Aside from taking wedding pictures I love to travel and often work for the broadsheets as a travel […]
