ANNA & PAUL - SHUSTOKE BARN, COLESHILL - JUNE 2014

On Friday, I received a couple of really lovely emails from two of my recent brides. I love hearing back from couples after they receive their wedding photos, it makes all the travel and working weekends worthwhile.

Thank you Anna for your lovely message on Friday, it really made my day....

BECCI & RICH - TONE DALE HOUSE - APRIL 2014

My absolute favourite part of working as a wedding photographer is creating the Photo Story. This music slideshow of images is always really well received by my couples and has become a really important part of my creative process.

Usually when I'm shooting a wedding there will come point when a song will pop into my head and I'll decide to use it there and then. For me, the music and photos go hand in hand, each enhancing the other. Once the editing and post-processing is complete, I'll choose around 60 images that I feel best tell the story of the wedding day and usually arrange them chronologically, but sometimes I'll jiggle the order a little to create a certain mood or feeling.

My first Photo Story of 2014 was made for Becci & Rich who recently married at Tone Dale House, Taunton. I had such fun making their Photo Story, it's guaranteed to raise a smile!

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TEACUP.

One photographer I take a lot of influence from is Garry Winogrand. With his often seemingly haphazard arrangement of his subjects shot using a wide-angle lens, his pictures frequently appear to be driven by the energy of the events he was witnessing. 

So when you see me looking intently round the room whilst shooting at a wedding, it's because I am looking for images like this.

MY YEAR IN PICTURES

Thanks to all you lovely couples from 2011. I had such great year photographing you all and have been blown away by the feedback I’ve received. What a rush!

The Wedding Community are looking for images to compete in Picture of the Month and eventually…Picture of the Year! I have picked out a few photographs which sum up my year photographing brilliant people at great weddings. Which one do you think is the worthiest contender?
