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 [...]
Yesterday I had a day off between a run of four weddings in six days and I was really pleased to receive an email from the Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association with the Quarter 1 2011 results. An image I have become very fond of, and seems to be doing very well for me, was [...]
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 [...]
A wet and blustery February day saw me take the trip to London’s West End and The Law Society, to document Wendy and Ian’s wedding. Although the weather was a bit bleak, the atmosphere was brilliant all day. Wendy and Ian had a great time, and Wendy’s family who had flown in from Australia, were [...]
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 [...]
Normally, I put all my personal photography under the personal photography and journal section of this website. However, on this very very special occasion, I wanted to post a few very very personal images on this main section of my website. Last Friday, I shot the wedding of Kayleigh and Tom at Kingscote Barn. Not [...]
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 [...]
Earlier this week I was absolutely delighted to receive an email confirming my membership to the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers. From the ISPWP Website: The International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers (ISPWP) is a rarity among wedding photography organizations. Photographers cannot simply buy an ISPWP membership, they have to earn it. Our requirements [...]
Back in December I took a very precarious trip, through the snow, down to deepest wonderful Surrey. Chiddingfold in fact. Alison and Tim, were getting married at the lovely St. Mary’s Church, followed by a winter wonderland reception at Ramster, just down the road. Although the weather outside was frightful the wedding was truly delightful (see what [...]
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 [...]
Early December last year and along with the arrival of some heavy snow here in the South West, came by busiest month for wedding photography of the year. It started with the very cool wedding of Caroline and Stuart at Malmesbury Abbey, followed by a fun-fueled reception at The Old Bell, Malmesbury. As I have [...]
Back in the Autumn, I photographed the intimate wedding of Emma and Tim. The ceremony was at the world-famous Westonbirt Arboretum, with the reception meal at the [probably as famous] Wild Duck Inn at Ewen. Westonbirt Arboretum, although in the next county of Gloucestershire is only a couple of miles away from me here in Wiltshire. It’s [...]
Last October I drove up to Cleve Lodge in Nottingham to document the wedding of Amanda and Paul. Nottingham isn’t a place that I visit that often, but I will never forget it. Not only because of this wonderful wedding, but because of the thousands upon thousands of traffic cameras that seem to be at [...]
Phew – its been a very busy couple of months for me and I’m just getting back into the swing of blogging the last weddings of 2010. November last year saw me revisit one of my favourite venues, Cripps Barn near Bibury for Emma and Richards wedding. It was an astonishingly great day weather wise given the [...]
For the best part of a week earlier this month, I attended the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers annual convention in London. I was actually giving a masterclass myself on the friday (which went very well, thanks to those that attended, and apologise for those who couldn’t get into the room). I met lots of [...]
Back in September I documented the wedding of Evelyne and Laurent. The ceremony was at my local catholic church here in Malmesbury, St. Aldhelms’s and the sumptuous reception was held at Whatley Manor. Whatley Manor is becoming one of my busiest venues and I have several other weddings booked there in 2011. As I’ve mentioned in previous blog [...]
November saw me photograph the most intimate wedding that I have done to date at Whatley Manor here in Gloucestershire. Sarah and Mike had six guests at the wedding which was a delightful occasion. As usual, Jo and her staff at Whatley provided the perfect setting for the wedding. The guests mingled with the Bride and [...]
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.

As the 2010 Wedding Photography season draws to a close (I have six weddings in December so still a little while to go for me yet), I thought I would put together a little promo stills-video of some of my favourite images this year. In my opinion it’s best viewed with the sound up. Click [...]
