As a professional wedding photographer I believe it is important to gain feedback not just from my clients but also my peers. I am a member of a group of select wedding and portrait photographers at Drama Free Photography where all aspects of the business are discussed and debated with the singular aim of allowing...

Wedding photography is always enjoyable but when you have a great couple and a stunning venue everything just seems to click into place. Lesley was getting ready at Missenden Abbey and I met her there in the morning for the...

That was a wedding with a difference! Yesterday I was at the The White Hart Inn in Great Yeldham, Essex for Ed and Lexi’s Pagan wedding ceremony which was a first for me. The ceremony, or Handfasting ritual, is generally celebrated inside a magic circle, something that Pagans believe to exist ‘between the worlds’ and...

THE PERFECT WEDDING RECIPE Take one superb venue, add a lovely couple and a generous helping of friends and family. Mix in a warm and sunny spring day and a good sprinkle of fun and laughter then garnish with an Aston Martin DB6. Wedding photography does not get much better than this when you you...

Last July myself and fellow ISPWP member Simon Revill travelled down to Somerset to photograph the wedding of Simon & Katie.

Planning your wedding can sometimes be stressful as there are so many suppliers and services to choose from. In my experience as a Hertfordshire wedding photographer I have realised that no two weddings are the same but I have found that brides and grooms tend to ask very similar questions during the initial consultation so...

As expected, Paula and Andy’s wedding at Woolston Manor was an absolute blast. I can’t remember the last time I saw so much laughter at a wedding, particularly during the speeches by the two Best Men. Unfortunately, by the time we managed to do some portraits with Paula and Andy it starting to get dark...

As a wedding photographer, when you meet a couple prior to their wedding you can get a fair idea of what the big day is going to be like. After todays meeting with Paula and Andy I think I can safely predict that their wedding next week at Woolston Manor in Essex is going to...

Yesterday saw me at Greyfriars House near Guilford in Surrey for the Tannis and Matt’s wedding. Set high on the edge of a fifty foot cliff, Greyfriars lawns are level with the treetops below and have spectacular views over the Surrey Hills and this makes it ideal as a niche wedding venue. The following images...
