Timeless and artistic documentary photography
The story of the photograph: There’s a question between the bride and groom that I often hear at weddings, it’s normally as they are talking while I have whisked them off for their bride and groom portraits, so away from the main celebrations… “Do you think everyone is having a good time?” It’s important to…
The story of the photograph: The bride and groom, as a documentary wedding photographer I get many of the photographs of the bride and groom throughout the wedding day that are candid unposed moments. However I firmly believe that amongst this documentary wedding coverage there should be some posed images of them also… and I use the…
Oxford on a summers day, a pretty wonderful location for a wedding. Last summer I was delighted to cover Kathleen and Pedro’s wedding held at Oxford registry office and then onto Pembroke college for much celebrating. The registry office in Oxford has to been one of the finest in the country, the ceremony room is…
You would almost not believe there is a vineyard in the Oxfordshire countryside, but Old Luxters Barn is just that, and its also a wedding venue and a pretty stunning one at that.

Prior to covering Alan & Lydia’s wedding at Old Luxters Barn we went out for a little pre wedding photo shoot. The photo shoot is…
One of the reasons I like photographing wedding is a documentary way is that it results in photographs that show such emotion.
My last wedding of 2010 was at the beautiful Notley Tythe Barn, it is a fantastic venue especially in winter as it is filled with fairy lights and had a roaring open fire.
A few weeks prior to the wedding I met Paul and Claire at the barn to do some pre wedding portrait photographs. Pre wedding shoots can be a great way of relaxing any nerves you have about having your photo taken and also start the excitement of the wedding day itself.

Once such couple I have had the pleasure to photograph was David and Anna, I do believe the ceremony to be…
