Welcome to my blog! I am a full time professional photographer specialising in natural, creative wedding photography and a range of different types of portrait photography including maternity, new born babies, families and pets.

I love my work as, for me, a photograph is a split second in time, which is shaped by the emotions of a moment. Every photograph tells a story and particular images can conjour up strong and sometimes powerful memories. I count myself lucky to really love what I do as I have a passion for taking photographs and finding out what makes people tick.

I am based near Bristol and Bath in the Chew Valley. For weddings, I work mainly in the Bristol, Bath, Somerset and Gloucestershire areas and photograph weddings regularly at some of the best venues in the region including: Hunstrete House, Thornbury Castle, Ston Easton Park, Maunsel House, Kingscote Barn, The Park, The Matara Centre and Guyers House. I am happy to travel to other parts of the country and abroad. To find out more about my wedding photography please click here. For portraits I work either in clients' homes, on location or from my studio in the Chew Valley and aim to offer a relaxed, fun and personal experience, particularly as many of my clients have known me since photographing their wedding and come back to me for their family photographs.

I hope you enjoy looking through my most recent work on the blog. If you are interested in wedding or portrait photography specifically and would like to search for posts related to that, just use the categories button to refine your search.

Bhavani and James' Pre- Wedding Shoot in Bristol

The last week has been so busy with shoots and weddings so I will do my best to catch up with my blog over the next few days!

On Friday I headed into town to meet up with Bhavani and James whose wedding is in a few weeks’ time. They had rushed over from London to meet up with me for a couple of hours before heading back to Bhavani’s parents’ house for a slap up meal for her birthday – so it was a real priviledge to spend a bit of Bhavani’s special day with them.

It was a pretty hot afternoon so we had a drink inside the Arnolfini Gallery (a favourite haunt of mine!) and then had a wander around the waterfront area to do their pre-wedding shoot. Bristol is such a vibrant place to shoot – particularly the old dock area along from the SS Great Britain with all the old buildings and preserved railway lines (unlike Bhavani, James didn’t know the city so I had to reassure him there wouldn’t be any trains coming along!).

We stopped at several places around the floating harbour and took some really lovely photographs of them. I think, like most people, they had had a few reservations about having their photographs taken, but then really relaxed into it and enjoyed themselves!

Here are a few of my favourite images:
