Shooting wedding’s, I’ve come ever more to realise what uniquely special events they are in our lives, and what a rare and special privilege it is to be invited to share in that day & document it. Life is a winding road and through all of its long and rambling path, we can often count on one hand the occasions where we bring all of those closest to our hearts together en masse.

A short story - shooting one wedding recently, it was late on in the reception and the elderly grandmother of the bride was sat on the edge of the dancefloor, sipping tea from a cup and saucer with her two walking sticks leaning against the table next to her. As I watched, her two young granddaughters came across to her, helped her to her feet and supported her across to the dancefloor where they started to dance around her. Her face lit up with one of the purest joys I’ve seen - a rekindling of youthful fun and abandon and she danced with them, propped up by her two faithful sticks and two loving granddaughters until they eventually led her back to her perch by the table and sat with her. In that moment I had such a powerful sense of how precious that moment was, of how unlikely it was to be repeated and of how these times when all of our special people come together to celebrate connection are so important.

That is the heart of why I love to shoot weddings. As a sensitive & observant soul, with such a passion for capturing those sparks of human connection & emotion, there’s no more profound application for my craft.

My way is unassuming and unobtrusive, documenting natural and spontaneous activity as authentically as possible, without demanding attention or intruding on interaction.
