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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The Great Barn, Higher Ashton, Devon was the venue for the first of my July weddings this year. Kate and Peter had commissioned me to document their wedding some time ago but it was to be another new venue for me. The Great Barn Devon is a fairly new wedding venue – and what a [...]
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 [...]
Anna and Tim contacted me to be their Wellington Barn Wedding Photographer last year. It was the first time I’d photographed at the barn, though I have a few more bookings there next year, and it was a wonderful experience – for, quite frankly, a very wonderful couple. Anna is Swedish, and Tim is, well, about [...]
So, as a Gloucestershire Reportage Wedding Photographer I was back at one of Gloucestershire’s most popular wedding venues, Cripps Barn for the reportage wedding photography of Steph and Matts wedding. Steph was getting ready at the nearby Barnsley House with her mum and bridesmaids. A quick dash over to Cripps Barn saw me capture the arrival of Matt [...]
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. I remember, as a child, going with my school to Rodney Parade to watch Newport v New Zealand. It wasn’t the first time I’d been to Rodney Parade, but it was [...]
Continuing this new section of my website where I will be featuring one of my favourite photographs each week and breaking it down. This weeks photograph is all about capturing emotional wedding photographs indirectly, taken from Caroline and Stewart’s Winter Wedding at The Old Bell here in Malmesbury last December. They actually got married at [...]
I’ve had a lot of feedback since my wedding photography using a Fuji X100 post the other day. All very positive. I’ll be doing more testing with this camera but have instantly fallen in love with it. Aesthetically it is pleasing, and the image quality is amazing. Don’t get me wrong – the quality from [...]

In April I returned to my homeland of Wales, specifically to St. Crallo Church, Bridgend and Coed-y-Mwstwr Hotel, for the wedding of Louise and Lee. They had planned their perfect wedding right down to the last detail and it was a pleasure to be around them and their friends and family for their wedding day. [...]
My first April wedding of 2011 saw me head over to Cambridge for Chrissie and Duncan’s beautiful musically orientated wedding at St. Mary & St. Michael’s Chruch, Trumpington followed by a reception at nearby Anstey Hall. Chrissie & Duncan, their friends and family made me feel very welcome for my first trip to Cambridge as a wedding [...]
Once I’d finished shooting Nick and Katies Manchester Wedding I got straight in the car and drove down to Croydon for Wayne and Melanies wedding the next day at the resplendent Selsdon Park Hotel. Although I used to live relatively local to the hotel, I’d never actually been in there. Its great. Its huge. Its perfect for weddings. Wayne [...]
March saw me head up to Manchester for the wonderful boutique wedding of Katie and Nick at the Didsbury House Hotel. I’d never been to Didsbury House before and I instantly loved it from a documentary wedding photographer’s point of view. Discreet but with lots of charm the house welcomed and warmed to Nick and [...]
As I was travelling to my wedding yesterday in the far reaches of West Wales, I had a message to tell me that I had been placed in two categories for the The International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers Spring 2011 competition. Both these images have been placed or won various competitions recently, but I’m particularly [...]
The first wedding of 2011 for me was back in early January are the wonderful Priston Mill. Jess and Ed had come over from their life in New Zealand to tie the knot in a beautiful winter wedding. I’d met Jess and Ed a couple of times previously and they are genuinely lovely people, with [...]
Now the 2010 wedding photography season has been concluded, and all weddings (where allowed) have been blogged, I thought I’d put together a post of all the feedback recieved throughout that year. There are a couple that I haven’t been able to blog but the rest are here…. So, without any further ado: 1st March [...]
The end of December last year saw me documenting the winter wedding of Rhian and Leon. They were getting married at the very swish Park House Club in Cardiff. Of course, being a local(ish) lad myself, I knew of the Park House Club but had never shot a wedding there. It’s a great venue and [...]
Back in January 2010 I met up with Luke and Rosemary to discuss their wedding which was to be held at Trinity College, Oxford University in December. I couldn’t believe how quickly last year went, and their wedding soon came around. Luke, being an alumnus of Trinity College had use of the university campus for [...]
I’ve had the last couple of weeks off from weddings to concentrate on catching up with business *stuff*, sorting out my workshops and trying to get the new studio ready. I was really pleased however to get a couple of emails last week notifying me of a couple of awards that some of my images [...]
In October I photographed the wedding of Amy & James at The Kingscote Barn, Gloucestershire. Kingscote Barn is one of favourite venues and, being so close to my home in Malmesbury, is a venue that I have several more bookings at over the course of 2011 to look forward too. Amy & James’ weddings was [...]

From the AGWPJA: The Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association AG|WPJA is comprised of outstanding wedding photographers, who are at the forefront of the wedding photography industry when it comes to enhancing images.

So, back in August me and my trusty Tom Tom took the long trip up to Lancashire for the very colourful wedding of Caroline and Robbo. Robbo was another of my old chums from my rugby playing days at London Welsh and it was just lovely to have the opportunity to photograph his and Carolines’ (whom I [...]
Early September saw me photographing the wedding of Robin & Kate in Orcheston, Wiltshire. The ceremony took place in the tiny St. George church, which, incidentally is in the same grounds as the family home, where the sumptuous reception was held. There is no electric in the church, and all the light was generated through candlelight [...]
August in The Cotswolds: Rain – lots of it! Laura and Stuart did not let it affect their incredible wedding though. Married at St. Peter’s Church, Leckhampton, Cheltenham in a wonderful ceremony, it was off, through the deluge to the resplendent Sudeley Castle for the marquee reception. Genuinely it rained a torrent on the day and [...]
It’s been an incredibly busy summer and I’m now managing to catch up with some long over due blog posts. All of my weddings get blogged in order and this was the wonderful wedding of Sam & Dan that occurred in late July. The ceremony was at the lovely Wroughton Parish Church here in Wiltshire, and the [...]
I recently photographed the wonderful wedding of Ed & Liz who got married at All Saints Church, Crudwell followed by a lovely reception at the brilliant Cripps Barn, near Bibury, Gloucestershire. At the end of the year, I will post on this website all the comments from each of the weddings this year but I just wanted to [...]
I recently documented the wedding of Karen and Mark, who got married at the lovely Eastington Hall here in the Cotswolds. Despite some very dubious weather during the week, the day itself couldn’t have been better and it was perfect for this very English wedding (though there were a lot of Irish in the cast and [...]
St Mary’s Church, Tenby is one of those rare sights that a Wedding Photographer sees over the course of the year. A wonderful, wonderful church, that is reverend, light and airy. Nestled, on the busy, but lovely named Upper Frog Street in the busy seaside town, this church is a dominant feature of the central hub of [...]
