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 [...]
I was delighted to learn last night that two of my images had been placed in the prestigious AG|WPJA Quaterly Awards. 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 [...]
Late September saw me photographing the wedding of Sophie & Stephen. The ceremony was at the lovely St. Mary Magdalene Church in Rodborough followed by a great reception at The Black Horse, Amberley, Gloucestershire. I’d met Sophie and Stephen a couple of times before and they are genuinely a very lovely (and very much in love) couple. [...]
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 [...]
Back in September we visited Weston Manor Hotel, in Weston On The Green, Oxfordshire for Hayley and Richards’ wedding. The weather, in contrast to the previous few weeks was stunning and the Weston Manor was a perfect backdrop for Hayley and Richard’s big day. For me, it was a great wedding to photograph. Although I [...]
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 was the middle of a typical August summer when I went down to the Buckland Tout-Saints Hotel in Goveton, Devon. Typical in every respect as it absolutely poured down with rain – but no matter, moods were not dampened as Claire & Matt and their guests had a wonderful wedding celebration at this stunning venue. [...]
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 [...]
A few weeks back, I photographed the wedding of Pete and Lindsay in Cheltenham. It was a glorious day weather wise, and the wedding itself was just perfect too. The ceremony was held at luxurious Queens Hotel in Royal Cheltenham Spa, with the rest of the festivities held at the wonderful Postlip Tithe Barn. Lindsay, [...]
So, the end of June saw me heading to my homeland of Wales to photograph Geraint (Red) and Ruth’s wedding. Another old buddy of mine from my rugby days, I’ve known Red for many years and it was a privilege to be the photographer for their wedding. The celebrations started on the Friday evening in [...]
In June, I took the lovely drive all the way up the Lincolnshire to a lovely little place called Ashby cum Fenby (yes, it’s really called that). Alex and Vicky got married at The Hall Farm Hotel & Restaurant there. On a picture perfect day, the theme of the wedding was summer casual and all the [...]
