  • Hello!

    Welcome to my blog - thank you for visiting!

    I'm a Kent Wedding and Portrait Photographer based in Fordwich, just outside Canterbury and I'm passionate about beautiful wedding photography which tells a story and captures the emotion and ambiance of the day. My style is relaxed, empathetic and unobtrusive, the best way (and the only way I know) to document one of the most significant, intimate days of your life. I like to think that i offer an exceptionally personal service and getting to know you is key.

    If my approach and style of photography mirrors your vision for recording your wedding and you are looking for a unique record of your day, please contact me - I'd love to hear from you!

    I also photograph families in Kent and my family home in Jersey, Channel Islands, my preference being to shoot on location rather than a starched white background. Besides being more dynamic, the shoot is intended to be fun and a lovely memory for all those involved. Should you decide that it's time to update your family portraits, why not book me to spend a couple of hours with you at your favourite location?

    I hope you enjoy the forthcoming posts as much as I enjoy sharing.

Kent Engagment Photography – Lauren & Michael

I met up with Lauren and Michael two weeks ago at my home in Fordwich in Kent.  It was touch and go and Lauren and i were in email contact each day with weather forecast updates!  Luckily it stayed dry and we even had some sunshine!!

Lauren and and Michael met whilst studying Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts, Canterbury (UCA) and got engaged while touring New Zealand together.  They live out of area now, so it was nice for them to come back to the place where they first met!

I’ve mentioned it in previous posts, but I love the landscape in Fordwich and  it’s quite fascinating to see the rate of how quickly it changes.  I’m always looking for different angles and locations to shoot in the area – and the coppice woods gives such a variety of colour and texture it’s not difficult to be inspired!

After a slightly tentative start, Lauren and Michael relaxed into their engagement shoot wonderfully!  Here are a few of my favourites from the afternoon.

Jersey Lifestyle Photography – Sarah & Richard Pregnancy Shoot

I’ve been meaning to post this blog for weeks now – so here it is!

I shot Sarah and Richards wedding back in April 2010 in Jersey so I was thrilled when Sarah contacted me in the New Year to tell me the wonderful news that they were expecting their first child!  I had booked to fly over to Jersey for the Easter weekend, combining my visit with spending time with my family and several previously booked photoshoots.  As has been the recent current theme with the unsettled weather, the three of us decided the best day to meet was the Sunday – luckily there were no rain clouds in sight and we had a lovely couple of hours together.  Sarah looked stunning and is loving her bump!

Here are a few of my favourite shots from the afternoon…

Kent Photography – Jane’s 39 week Preganancy shoot

I met up with Jane last week at her home to record some images of her wonderful bump! Jane looked positively radiant and had taken some well earned time to chill out! I’d photographed Jane and her husband Matt a couple of years ago (actually may bit a bit longer ago than that – i need to check my files!) with pregnancy number one, so it was lovely to make a second visit.

Here are just a few of my favourite images from the hour or so we spent together…

Fordwich, Kent Engagement Shoot – Sarah & Matt

It was lovely to meet Sarah & Matt on Thursday afternoon.  I’d suggested Fordwich for their engagement shoot as it’s such a pretty location, particularly at this time of year.  Our ultimate goal was to reach the bluebells – so armed with our wellington boots and large precautionary umbrella we headed off!

What a showery week we’ve had and just when i thought I’d done well do dodge the rain showers….

Here are a few of my favourite images from our hour or so together…

The different colours and varieties of the blossom are just beautiful!

Despite the rain and the shoot being cut short, Sarah and Matt were good fun and very good humored considering the wet and muddy conditions!

I look forward to shooting your elegant vintage styled wedding in June!

Fordwich, Kent, Engagement Shoot – Paula & Neil

I’d been looking forward to shooting Paula and Neil’s engagement shoot ever since I first met them last July.  At our first meeting Paula brought along a mood board she’d been creating where she’d collated a number of images & visuals of all things wedding-esk!  Paula has a lovely eye for detail so I was delighted when they asked me to shoot their wedding!

So, we’d set the date for the shoot last weekend to coinside with the arrival of bluebells – only to be threatened with April showers (I can’t remember the last time we had proper April showers!) – anyway – we were patient and luckily they passed!  So we headed off to the coppice woods in Fordwich – i knew we’d have a variety of colours and textures en-route to the bluebells – we weren’t disappointed.  The blossom was beautiful and the bluebells plentiful.

Paula and Neil were very relaxed and it was wonderful to enjoy the warmth of the sunshine after a showery start…
