A 2011 Wedding Season overview. It was a long year – but a great one. Thanks to all my clients from 2011 (and prior of course) and those who have booked for 2012 and 2013. I have included a small slideshow of some of my favourite images in black and white from the year.
Another shot taken on the wickedly clever iPhone 4S Camera. Edited in phone using Snapseed from Nik. There is a wonderful set of images of Malmesbury gone by at http://www.francisfrith.com/malmesbury/. I’m going to start a mini project with the iPhone trying to take the same scene as the shots Francis took – but on the [...]
Back Story: This photograph was a snap image taken at a Kingscote Barn Wedding last year. Its a very simple photograph, but perhaps one of my favourites from last year. There are two stories going on in the frame; the grand father and the little girl of course is the primary thread, and then the [...]
Back Story: This is a personal image, of my daughter Rosa. It was a snapshot I took a couple of weeks back on the Fuji X100. The camera is pretty much always around, and I’ve got hundreds of shots of the kids doing their thing. There was something that attracted me to this image though. [...]
Shanneen and Russell approached me to be their Abbey House Gardens Malmesbury Wedding Photographer way back in 2009. Shanneen had a big wedding to plan and spectacular it was too. When Shanneen told me she was getting married at The Abbey House Gardens I became a very happy little wedding photographer. The Abbey House gardens are in my [...]
The Abbey House Gardens Malmesbury is what I would call a “perfect wedding venue” – for lots of reasons. Its a wonderfully looked after 18th Centenary private residence situated right next to Malmesbury Abbey. The Abbey House Gardens are run by world famous gardeners Barbara and Ian Pollard who have tended this beautiful building and the land around it since the [...]
I’ve photographed a lot of Kingscote Barn Weddings now, and Kris and Sophie’s one last September was no different to all the rest in the sheer fact that it was a beautiful occasion. Kingscote Barn is a jewel in the crown of Gloucestershire Wedding Venues and as always the bride and groom on this very special day [...]
Back Story: I’ve somewhat neglected this part of the blog over the winter but hope to resurrect it going forward. This image is a the final frame of a wedding I shot last December. I haven’t got around to blogging the entire wedding yet but as I completed the edit I was quite struck by the image. It was [...]
This shot was snapped from my car whilst parked up at the lovely Coaley Peak last weekend. Whilst the kids snoozed in the back, I used my iPhone 4S and Snapseed to edit the image completely on the iPhone.
The Anglican Church of St Lawrence is in Lechlade, Gloucestershire. Close to the border of Oxfordshire and Wiltshire its a stunning church that was completed in 1476 (though there was likely a church on the spot before then too).
What a crazy start to 2012 it has been. After a brilliant SWPP convention in London I am slowly catching up with blogging etc., before the weddings start again for another very busy year. For any photographers who attended my SWPP Masterclasses, you may well recognise these images. This was the absolutely wonderful wedding of Victoria and Max [...]
Last night I went pitch side for the first time this year to photography Bristol v Esher in the RFU Championship. It was a top of the table (Bristol) v bottom of the table (Esher) match on a cold but clear evening at the Memorial Stadium. Bristol went on the win the match comfortably 27-7 which sees them well [...]
Kate and Edward asked me to be their Pembroke Lodge Wedding Photographer sometime ago, but it seemed like time just flew by before the wedding came along. Pembroke Lodge is in the heart of Richmond Park, South West London and it is a truly marvellous wedding venue. And this was a truly marvellous wedding. As a documentary wedding photographer [...]
Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park: What an incredible wedding venue. Pembroke Lodge is regarded as one of the finest wedding venues in London. A beautiful, listed Georgian Mansion with bright spacious rooms and fabulous views to the West, the Lodge has eleven acres of beautifully landscaped grounds and is situated on one of the highest points in Richmond Park which [...]
I’ve known Bryoni and Dianne for quite a few years and I was delighted when they asked me to photograph their civil partnership at The Orleans House Gallery in Twickenham. There were many familiar faces at the celebration and I could tell it was going to be a very lively and fun day. The ceremony [...]
Situated within woodland overlooking the Thames, Orleans House Gallery and the stunning Octagon Room provide the peace of the countryside within an urban landscape. Built in 1721 for Queen Caroline, wife of George II, the Baroque setting is the ideal venue for wedding ceremonies, civil partnerships, blessings, cocktail parties and wine tasting. Nestled next to [...]
Nicola and James approached me earlier in the year to see if I could document their Stanton Manor Wedding in late August. As I write this blog post in deepest December, thinking back to the glorious summer we had……. sorry, scratch that, the weather, actually, on the day Nicola and James got married was very [...]
Stanton Manor Hotel, Stanton St. Quintin is a jewel in the crown of wedding venues here in Wiltshire.

The Church of St Cyriac’s, Lacock was established in the late 11th century. It’s a truly wonderful church located in the historic market town of Lacock. Although it is possible that there was a small Saxon church here, it is definite that a Norman church was built towards the end of the 11th century by the two [...]
There are fewer things in life that make me smile more than my lovely little family. 2011 was a wonderful year for my wife and I. At this time of year I traditionally do a “my favourites” blog post – based on my documentary wedding photography images. And I will still do that in early [...]
Yesterday, myself and a few photographer friends went to see the Don Mccullin exhibition at The Imperial War Museum. It’s a must see body of work for anybody interested in photography or humanity itself. It’s simply humbling. Whilst there, we had a quick jaunt along The South Bank and I took my Fuji X100 with [...]
Hannah and Daniel are the first of my clients to have a Winkworth Farm Wedding. Winkworth Farm, is a new wedding venue, in Lea, Wiltshire.

As with many of my wedding photography clients, I didn’t actually meet Lauren and Mark until their wedding day earlier this year in mid-August. Lauren had contacted me around eighteen months ago with a view to having a documentary wedding photographer specifically for her special day. When I first met Lauren and her family during [...]
Back Story: The image in this post is from a wedding I did at Slebech Park earlier this year. The day was pretty horrid in terms of the weather, and, although Slebech is a wonderful place for a wedding – on a rainy day the options are restricted to a few [lovely] rooms in the main [...]
Julie and Ben commissioned me to be their wedding photographer earlier in the year. To say their wedding was magical, would be an understatement. The weather, the location, the planning, the atmosphere all fell into place on their very special day. The wedding was held in the gardens of the family home and was a veritable feast of [...]
Malmesbury Abbey, as I passed it last night on the way home from playing squash. I’m extremely lucky to live in one of the most beautiful little towns in the UK in my opinion, and I walk through the grounds of Malmesbury Abbey at least twice every day (my home and my studio are just minutes away). [...]
This is what happens in our house when Justin’s House on CBeebies comes on the Telly. Rosa adores it, and all of his other great programmes on CBeebies. I noticed this image as I came into the living room and it just caught my attention. Rosa is engrossed in the programme, the light is falling [...]
iPhoneography they call it. In the last five months or so I’ve taken up the usage of two completely new cameras to me. Firstly, came the Fuji FinePix X100 – which is an absolutely great camera and now very much part of the equipment I use at every wedding. The second camera that I have been [...]
Last year, Lucy and Doug, who were looking for an Essex wedding photographer, approached me to document their wedding day in July this year. The wedding ceremony itself was at the lovely parish church of Holy Trinity Church in Takeley, followed by a reception (read BIG party) at The Pledgdon Barn in Essex. Lucy and [...]
Tonight I photographed Bristol v London Welsh in the top-of-the-table Championship clash at The Memorial Ground…. and what a fantastic game. Being a proud Welshman myself, I was still reeling from the Wales v Australia World Cup game earlier in the day. However, I dusted myself down, packed my bruised pride in my camera bag [...]
I’m a family photographer in a lot of senses. I shoot candid imagery for clients of themselves and their children interacting in the home environment. This image, however, is my own to children. Our new son Albie and Rosa. I was just hanging around with the Fuji X100 and Rosa an Albie were playing on [...]

The majority of [...]
This evening I photographed the British and Irish Cup rugby game between Bristol and Moseley. Both sides were looking to mix up their team selections a little with big league matches approaching. The final score was Bristol Rugby 10 Moseley 14. Bristol, of course, are the current holders of the British and Irish Cup. As [...]

Back Story: As you know, I’m a fan of documentary photography. Although I have a studio, and shoot studio posed work, my primary passion is the documentary or candid image. This means I’m a big fan of natural child photography too. This is an image of our new son Albie, taken with the Fuji Finepix [...]
Rectory Crudwell Weddings always bring back happy memories of clients (past, and hopefully future) having a wonderful wedding day in one of the loveliest hotels that Wiltshire has to offer. Helen and TJ were married at All Saint’s church just next door on a “changeable” day weather wise back in June. The wedding coincided with the [...]
Ed and Ruth got married at Notley Tythe Barn in Buckinghamshire earlier this year. The wedding had been a couple of years in the making and did not fail on any account. It was my first time at Notley Tythe Barn – which is situated in a lovely part of the Buckinghmshire countryside. A few [...]
I am not a Pet Photographer. However, going through some of my archives whilst waiting for an edit to finish today I’m came across an image that made me smile. This is Perry – he is my “in-laws” dog. He’s a lovely little chap, with a lot of character to say the least. Anyway, just [...]
Anna and Tim contacted me to be their Wellington Barn Wedding Photographer last year.

Wow! Its been a long time since I revisited some of my older images. I was just trawling through some this evening, and came across a shot I did of the Newport City Footbridge back in 2009 (24th February to be precise). It was one of the first images that I moved into black and [...]
Back Story: This image was taken at Matt and Claire’s Devon Wedding last year. It was August, and true to form for England the heavens opened and it was torrential rain for most of the day.

Last night, Charlotte at Newport Gwent Dragons, very kindly gave me accreditation to photograph the pre-season friendly between Newport Gwent Dragons and Leeds Carnegie.
