Masterpiece Award Winning Photo WPJA
Masterpiece Award Winning Photo WPJA I've been a bit slow to blog this image because I've had man-flu all week, meaning I've been blowing my nose instead of my own trumpet. But I'm delighted to end the year on a high, landing my fourth WPJA Masterpiece Award of 2018....

Award Winning Wedding Photography
Award Winning Wedding Photography So further to my recent post's point about burnout being an internal, rather than outwardly viewable, process I seem to have picked up another bit of Award Winning Wedding Photography in the shape of a new WPJA Masterpiece Award for a...

WPJA Gold Masterpiece Award Winner This week I was delighted to wake up to the news that I was a WPJA Gold Masterpiece Award Winner for this photo of a young dad trying to get his child off to sleep, in the middle of Iceland. The WPJA Gold Masterpiece Award is an...

Festival Wedding Photography
Festival Wedding Photography Firstly, I just have to share the backstory to my shooting this wedding because it's my favourite way of ending up shooting a wedding, ever. So about seven years ago, maybe more, I was walking around Bestival on the Isle of Wight taking...

Wedding Burnout
Wedding Burnout I am tired, I am weary I could sleep for a thousand years Lou Reed, Venus in Furs The wedding industry, like social media is guilty of curating our moods, favouring happiness and presenting an ideal image to the world, and photographers, not just the...

This is Bigger Than Instagram #3
This is Bigger Than Instagram #3 So here is another image that benefits from being viewed on something larger than a smart phone screen. Not every part of every wedding speech is going to be a happy one and this is a really lovely moment between brother and sister,...

This Is Bigger Than Instagram #2
Still Life With Pizza This series is going to be slightly different from Friday Photo -- there's only so many big themes you can address in photography without repeating yourself. So there'll still be the camera settings, which I know people like, but they'll be less...

Flash Cord On: Saviour of the Universe
Full Flash Photography Wedding So on other days and in other blogs I have banged on about the high-end snapshot, and on other days and in other blogs I've talked about using flash to heighten the drama, to create atmosphere, or just shoot with the direct style of...

This Is Bigger Than Instagram #1
This Is Bigger Than Instagram This series is going to be slightly different from Friday Photo -- there's only so many big themes you can address in photography without repeating yourself. So there'll still be the camera settings, which I know people like, but they'll...

Dorking Garden Wedding Photography
Dorking Garden Wedding Photography I didn't really know whether to call this Dorking Garden Wedding Photography or simply Garden Party Wedding Photography. The whole day had the feeling of the most magical garden party that was also somehow a wedding and/or blessing...
Kate & Dan’s Garden Blessing: Slideshow
Just the most wonderful garden party blessing for two entirely wonderful people. Also available as a BLOG.

Half an Hour of Seaside Street Photography
Seaside Street Photography This is a very small blog showcasing not much more than half an hour of seaside street photography. Lots of wedding photographers I know have gone over to the Sony a7ii or a7iii. Apparently they did this quite a while ago but I've only just...

Tayler & Mathew Slideshow
Here is a slideshow for Tayler and Mathew's absolutely amazing foodie festival wedding. Just one of the happiest days. I will follow this with a blog post, complete post wedding lazy Sunday pool antics, but right now just in enjoy the (slide)show...

The Fabulous Vintage Bride Photoshoot
The Fabulous Vintage Bride Photoshoot I'll be honest, I originally said no to this Fabulous Vintage Bride Photoshoot. I've shot bridal features before and come away feeling compromised and a little sullied. That sounds a little overly dramatic maybe but when you say...

Les Trois Garcons Chateau Wedding
Les Trois Garcons Chateau Wedding I have shot a few stunning French destination weddings, but not too much that can prepare you for Les Trois Garcons Chateau. It's an absolutely mind-boggling location. This renovated chateau -- Château de la Goujeonnerie -- is the...

FP: Fashion Wedding Documentary
Friday Photo: Fashion / Wedding / Documentary A fashion wedding documentary image is pretty much my favourite thing. And this is one of my favourite images from last year. It's an image that the clients didn't even take as part of their 300 images, so they clearly...

Friday Photo: Robert Capa Said..
Robert Capa famously said "If you're pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” He also probably said, "Jesus fucking Christ, for the hundredth time where did I put my shitting keys?" but that's less relevant for the purposes of this blog...
