This iconic bridal portrait was taken at a wedding back in 2012 and I still love it as much today as I did back 8 years ago. I want my photographs to be timeless and I think this bridal portrait does just that.

This is one of my favourite shoots ever and one that will always hold a special place in my heart as it was the first shoot I did after I went full time in 2013. We spent two days in Paris shooting their engagement session, it was such an amazing experience, destination engagement sessions, destination weddings are brilliant to do as a photographer. Working in different environments and different cultures is something really special.

Musee du Louvre at night is the perfect backdrop for photos, I remember my speed light failed just before this selection of photos were taken so had to think on my feet and position the couple at an angle where the light from the Louvre side lighted them. Amazing memories!!!

I love this church portrait, as soon as I entered the church to prepare for their ceremony I saw this tiny area of the church lit by candlelight so I knew I wanted to use this for one of her bridal portraits. So after the ceremony, confetti, and family portraits we headed back inside to capture this image.

This bridal portrait was taken shortly after the bride changed into her evening gown, their wedding venue Aynhoe Park is a playground of the imagination and in this location I created a statuesque with the bride to match her surroundings.

The weather wasn't very kind to us at their wedding but with the help of an umbrella we managed to capture all their outdoor portraits on the iconic white bridge at The Fennes. I love the colors from their outfits and I love how the umbrella along with the bridge focusses your eye on their pose.

I adore this portrait, I'm always fascinated with the edge of mirrors and the effect they can produce in camera and I think this works beautifully here. This portrait was taken shortly before the Indian ceremony, the wedding venue is The Fennes in Essex, UK.

Taken in strong directional light in the beautiful gardens of Greenwoods Hotel & Sp, I love this elegant portrait of the back of the brides dress framed perfectly within the background.

Taken during the evening portrait session of their wedding at Gosfield Hall here in Essex, this photograph was lit purely by the light above their heads. I love how romantic this finished portrait looks, a timeless capture.

I'm in love with this elegant bridal portrait taken during the final stages of bridal prep at Gosfield Hall in Essex, the light is perfect and her hand placement is even better, one of most favorite bridal portraits of 2019.

We were absolutely blessed with the light, how can you not get a great shot in this environment? I just had to marry the right pose and emotional connection to the environment. This portrait was taken at Greenwoods Hotel and Spa in Essex.
