Absolutely love the joy of laughter in the photograph, the best man joked with the groom just before he handed him the wedding ring, they laughed, smiled and giggled throughout the ceremony. This wedding was photographed at Aynhoe Park in Oxfordshire, England.

I love this bridal portrait which was taken on location at The Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary or Cerkev Marijinega Vnebovzetja as it is called in Slovene which stands on Bled Island. Bled is one of the most inspiring places I have ever visited, in fact, Slovenia in itself is so beautiful.

What can I say but I had the absolute honour of photographing Bridal Portraits out in the World famous and beautiful Grand-Place de Bruxelles in Belgium. This portrait is one of favourites from the set I captured, it was so much fun because what you can't see is 100 odd people behind camera that were all excited to see what we were shooting. The rain never stopped us and in fact I believe the rain adds to the impact of the overall photograph.

Absolutely loved this wedding at The Fennes Wedding Venue in Essex, this photograph was taken shortly before her dad saw her for the first time in her dress.
The bridal prep room has spotlights on the ceiling which I moved into place to create a beautiful light and shadow on her face. As soon as I turned this photograph black and white I loved it even more....

Post-Wedding photo shoot with my wedding client from 2017, initially we wanted to shoot at Leeds Castle like we did for their engagement shoot but this wasn't possible. So with a couple of hours before we were due to meet I decided that we should shoot at Cudmore Grove as as you can see the location is outstanding.
This is one of many photographs that I love from this shoot and it's an honour to share it with you.

This bridal portrait was taken during a recent wedding at The Fennes here in Essex. I had this idea for a while now for a bridal portrait with her surrounded by her bridal bouquets, it was a perfect set up as the colours of the flowers, the chosen background and her lipstick matched perfectly.
One of my favourite bridal portraits and its a real honour to see this photograph win an award.

I Love this Bridal Portrait, the lighting, the shadows, the pose all compliment each other perfectly. This photograph was taken during their wedding at Greenwoods Hotel & Spa here in Essex.

Taken at Greenwoods Hotel & Spa in Essex during the wedding of Natalie and James. During their wedding breakfast the light was looking superb so we quickly nipped outside to create this photograph I set up the pose to have the sun behind then to give me some lens flare and in post production I enhanced the sun light.

This photograph was taken at the stunning Hedingham Castle in Essex during the wedding of Leigh and Christopher. I wanted to give them a beautiful night time portrait and I believe this works superbly well....

Following on from one of last months awarded photographs this was shoot on a recent visit to Lago di Fusine in Italy, this photograph was actually shot on my iPhone 8+, this location is breathtaking and my couple were so happy to climb up to the top of this rock to make this shot possible for me. I can't thank them enough and it just goes to show that beautiful photography is not about the equipment you have.

Would you believe it but this is actually my first ever aerial photograph taken with my new DJI Mavic Air during an engagement session last month in Dedham, Essex. I'm so proud of this photograph and its a real honour to have won an award in this months competition.
