London-based wedding, portrait, family, business & event photographer

Weddings

I am a London-based wedding documentary and portrait photographer with 15 years of experience shooting weddings. From the centre-stage moments to those fleeting, split-seconds happening side-stage, I will capture the story of your wedding in all its aesthetic, romantic, emotional, humorous, quirky and spontaneous glory. 

Headshots & Portraits

Whether you are in the arts or business world, nothing is quite so empowering, or useful, than a strong, flattering and communicative headshot. I provide headshot and ‘environmental’ portrait sessions on-location or in my studio, bringing whatever lighting and postproduction magic needed to create the right mood for you.

Children & Family

Our children. When all is said and done what matters more to us?
My on-location family photography includes sessions from birth to the teenage years, ‘day in the life’ extended family sessions and classic studio portraits for teenagers and young adults in my studio in West London.

 

Business & Events

A memorable set of images can replace a thousand words and get to the heart of the matter within seconds. I can help breathe new life into your business to make you stand out from the crowd and get messages out quickly and with impact. Let me put some visual ‘colour’ into your business activities and communications.

Special Occasions

Weddings are an important moment in our lives but they are just the beginning of a lifetime of special occasions and events. Each year I photograph christenings, baptisms, first holy communions, parties, anniversary gatherings and other landmark events including funerals and events to celebrate a loved one’s life.

I want to give you an enjoyable and easy experience getting your pictures, with beautiful results that you will be proud to show others.

For the last 15 years. I have been a full- time professional photographer My photography has one thing in common - it’s all about people.

I am based in Richmond upon Thames but work takes me near and far - locally, in London, the home counties and across the UK.

I hope that within these pages you will find images and words that resonate with what you are looking for, and I will meet you soon for some pictures.
