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.

The Tandy Family

It’s been a busy Autumn here so far with the new studio now open and some lovely portrait sessions in the studio and also in the Autumn leaves. I have just got back from a blissful couple of weeks’ holiday and so I’ll catch up with blogging as soon as I can!

Just before I went away, the lovely Tandy family came for a family shoot as their new baby Oliver was 6 months old. I photographed Laura and Rob’s wedding a few years ago and then baby Erin last year (who is now an energetic toddler!) so it was great to catch up with them.

It was a nice day weatherwise, so after some shots in the studio we headed out to the orchard (a very popular spot with little ones!) and took some photos of Erin there playing under the trees.

Here are a few of my favourite shots from their session:

The Whittle Family

It’s been a great week for family portraits in the hayfield – a perfect setting for relaxed family shots! On Wednesday, the Whittle family had their session and despite the wind, it was great fun! Here are a few of my favourite shots:
