that's me, the one up the ladder...

With 30+ years of professional experience & knowledge to call on, I'm sure that I can bring a little colour, life, drama, humour & a sprinkling of creativity to your big day.

Quality photography can't be produced on a "conveyor belt", that's why I've always chosen to limit the number of wedding commissions that I accept each year.

This keeps our approach fresh, energetic & fully committed to each couple & occasion.

As a "wedding photographer" I'm a bit unusual,  most of my work takes place in the weird world of advertising photography.**

I like to think this gives me a slightly different perspective & approach to wedding photography.

My Qualifications & Affiliations: 
Fellowship, the highest level within the BIPP 
Association of Photographers (AoP) & 
Qualified European Photographer  (FEP)* 

I've served on the BIPP National Admissions & Qualifications Panel, have given dozens of demonstrations & presentations around the UK and have  judged many
​Regional & National Print Awards. 

Commercial photography awards include: 
"BIPP NW Photographer of the Year" &
"BIPP National Industrial Photographer" 

But... TBH, it's dead easy picking up awards, there's always some outfit ready to give 'em out so, I mostly prefer to  judge my work on what I do for my clients in the "real world".
​My key advice for choosing a snapper:
  • view several photographers work
  • get to know the photographer a little
  • talk about their background & experience
  • ask about their approach to your day
  • talk about photography styles
  • talk about candid and/or posed images
  • think "can I trust this person to deliver?" 
  • think "what will they be like to work​ with?"
Finally:
Naturally, cost is always important but;
after the flowers have drooped,
the wedding cake is eaten &
the groom's suit no longer fits,
try & remember...
you, your children & your grandchildren
will still be looking at the photographs.
