Congratulations to Kirsty & Nigel on your wedding! ❤️💍
I had the privilege of documenting your beautiful day on Saturday at the stunning Heddington Village Church. There's something rather special about photographing a wedding in such a timeless setting.
I'm especially drawn to these images. They have a wonderfully nostalgic, almost cinematic quality that reminds me of classic wedding photography from years gone by. Sometimes less really is more.
Thank you both for allowing me to be part of such a memorable day. Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter and happiness together.

I recently bumped into a friend and we spoke about our parents, all of whom have now passed. He told me that a previous post of mine really resonated with him.
A few years ago, he asked me to photograph his parents, Celia and George. They had such a great time during the shoot and spoke fondly of it for years afterwards.
Now, those images remain as a beautiful memory of them.

Tonight’s shoot with Nigel & Kirsty under the Calne Christmas tree didn’t go quite to plan when we arrived to find the lights switched off. 🎄
But sometimes the best moments don’t need lights — just love, laughter, and a little leftover Christmas magic ✨🤍

Those of you who know me personally will be aware that my mum passed away last week. I am so lucky that over the last 40 years I was able to photograph her on numerous occasions right from from the start of my photography trining at Chippenham College when I did my City & Guilds photography course in 1982.
Below is one of my favourite pictures that I captured in a studio session in 2003 after completing my studio flash courses with the Royal Photographic Society.
After the pandemic I found it very difficult to get back behind the camera having lost a great chunk of my photography business. However, I have over the last few months, since the death of my Dad carried out a few shoots and now after the loss of my Mum I realise the importance of our industry and the value of our work as photographers creating lasting memories.

Now that the clocks have gone back I don't have to stay up as late to be able to shoot at night!
Here are a few shots from Steve's 60th birthday shoot that we did this evening.

22 years ago, at the beginning of my professional career I roped my dad into a photoshoot so I could try a new lighting setup. We had a great laugh especially when the cleaner came in while dad had his trousers around his ankles getting into a new outfit!
In March of this year, he sadly passed away at the age of 86 and some of the pics from that shoot were used at his funeral.
It made me realise that we as a family were so lucky to have these lovely images to remember him by and the value of the work that us as professional photographers bring to people’s lives.
With Father’s Day on its way, why not book a portrait session for him, we will create some great pictures for longevity?

This picture was taken to promote the involvement of these students in a local radio programme. I wanted to create a paparazzi feel. However, I’m not sure I achieved this as they all look to friendly!
