Just found out I picked up another Fearless award in the latest round of the competition whilst we were away this week!

Really love this quiet moment between Ronan and his dad during the middle of their wedding party reception at - I love looking out for those subtle little moments that happen all around during a wedding day. Ones that are often overlooked for the more ‘obvious’ ones but are often even more meaningful for the people involved.

Thanks to all the judges for the recognition - awards are notoriously hard to pick up so it’s always nice to keep scooping them up after shooting for as long as I have 🙌🙏

Lourdes and Graham’s elopement to Paris still remains one of my favourite trips to that amazing city. If you’re looking for a destination for a wedding or elopement then Paris should be high up the list for sure!

For 99% of the day, i shoot your wedding in a documentary style - but it's always nice to slip off and get some portraits of your both. Relaxed, natural and unposed.

Incredible times amongst Oxford’s dreaming spires at the weekend with Sophie & Alex and their nearest and dearest!

The Bodleian Library provided an incredible backdrop to the day before we all escaped to Sophie’s dad’s pub for some epic partying!

Amazing way to kick off 2025 for me! Can’t wait for more!

OK ok! Another preview from Enily and Justin’s NYE wedding extravaganza because it was that good!

Emily and Justin’s wedding day was the culmination of 4 incredible, thoughtful and generous, days of events and adventures that the two of them planned for their family and friends. A true celebration of their lives and the people most important to them. It didn’t disappoint.

The incredible back drop of NYC surrogates court played host to their first look and ceremony, before a reception and NYE party to end all parties back at to see in their married life and 2025! Oh and of course not forgetting the now ubiquitous trolley bus and coolers to get between it all! Such a great time!

To spend the week with these guys and their crew was a total pleasure - and to get to document it all in photo and film was the icing on the cake!

So much more to share from these amazing days

Super excited and proud to learn I’ve been awarded as one of the top 10 wedding photographers in the world yet again for this year - third in a row I think! As well as also being one of the top 10 wedding photography Storytellers at - Very honoured to be in that hallowed list, as well as to see so many friends and buddies in the running too.

This is Reportage, as the name suggests, celebrates all that is good in the world of documentary wedding photography and storytelling - which as you may know, is kinda my bag! So to be recognised globally by them is a big honour!

There awards celebrate both great individual documentary images and also longer, wedding stories - and I’ve been fortunate enough to pick up a few awards in both over the year.

Thanks as always to my wonderful couples that I get to work with and who mean I get to keep calling this thing I do my job! And high fives to Alan at TiR for running that ship. And my mum, dad, first pet goldfish, publicist, stylist etc etc - You all rule!
