As you can see don't have any real professional photos of myself to place in this about me section, this is because I actually hate being in front of the camera and much prefer to be the one holding the camera.

I had to search through my wife's Facebook photo to get most of the ones you see in the collage above, but in a way, they probably tell you more about me and the things I value more than a cheesy professional headshot of my holding a camera would. 

​

I value family, friendship and human connection. I might take the occasional sunset photo, but it's people and emotions that appeal to me. I've dabbled in everything from event and nightclub photography to professional headshots and even done newborn shoots for a while (never again).  In 2012, I was given the absolute honour of photographing a friend's wedding. Although it probably wasn't the best wedding photos you'd ever see, it was the beginning of a love affair I got from photographing one of the happiest days of someone's life.

​

Wedding photography is where my heart is, it allows me to capture every emotion and memories that can be cherished for many years and for future generations to come as well as express myself artistically using creative lighting and compositions.

Less like a photographer and more like a friend with a camera.

 

 As a kid, I always used to think of wedding photographers as being these quite strict older males that would shout at everyone and seem like the most stressed people in the world. I am sure a few of them still exist, but I always go into every wedding wanting to feel more like a friend with a camera than a wedding photographer.

I don't want to turn up and stand on the outside with a long lens, I want my couples to feel comfortable with me being right next to them, joining in with their celebrations and giving them photos that feel like they were right there, in the thick of, re-living every intimate moment and every drink spilt, I want to be so close you could almost smell what it was like to be there.
