This wedding portrait was shot during their wedding at Hedingham Castle here in Essex, UK. Hedingham Castle is arguably the best-preserved Norman keep in England. The castle fortifications and outbuildings were built around 1100, and they keep around 1140. However, the keep is the only major medieval structure that has survived, albeit less two turrets.
This was my first wedding of 2020 and due to Covid19, it's been my only wedding shot in 2020. This wedding was a real joy to photograph and I'm so pleased to be able to share a photograph from it with you all.

This beautiful couple has won me a few awards now, this wedding portrait was taken at Greenwoods Hotel & Spa during their wedding last summer. Absolutely loved their wedding!!!

Another one from the London engagement session, this time we arrived at the Royal Albert Hall, for anyone that loved architecture you need to visit RAH. We walked down a side road where it was just us to capture this photograph without any tourists in the way.

London Engagement Session, we worked our way down the Thames on the Southbank and the Millennium Bridge with the iconic view of St Paul's Cathedral in the background was one of our chosen locations. Love this, I love how London life is just moving around them whilst they're framed perfectly by St Paul's.

Another one from my iconic Paris Engagement Session, this portrait was taken in the iconic Montmartre outside the Church of St. Pierre which is one of the oldest in Paris and even contains some original Roman columns.

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.
