  • 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.

Katherine & Sean’s Engagement Shoot, Stodmarsh Woods, Nr Canterbury Kent

Katherine, Sean and I had had decided some time ago that we’d choose Stodmarsh Woods (near Canterbury and my home town of Fordwich) as a location for their pre-wed shoot and to catch the end of the bluebells – before we had the heat wave over Easter!  The bluebells were fairly patchy – but we did find some!  The light was wonderful in the light shade – and the strong sun streaming through the tree canopy created a beautiful dappled light – it was very pretty.  Well done Katherine and Sean for withstanding the giant tree climbing ants and thistles!

Katie & David Pre-Wed Shoot, Tankerton, Kent

A windy early evening on the 1st May in Tankerton, Kent!  Tankerton is a favourite spot of mine – great for colour and textures and fresh air – oh and beautiful sunsets if you’re lucky!  David and Katie coped really well with the gusty wind – well Katie in particular -we were challenged!  We used the shelter of the beach huts and groins for protection – although chose to brave the winds for the final shots – I actually like some movement and fluidity… View full post »

St Ouens Manor Jersey- the Wedding of Lisa & Tony

Lisa and Tony got married earlier this month at St Ouen’s Manor in Jersey and then for their celebrations they chose The L’Horizon at St Brelade’s Bay – a fabulous venue which backs onto the beach.  We experienced a heatwave over the Easter period – which was very unexpected – glorious weather but of course overseas guests had packed for Spring temperatures – but it did mean that there was an opportunity to paddle in the sea!  The warm temperatures continued through the day and into the evening…

I started shooting some preparation shots with Lisa in St Helier, who was joined by her mother, sister, sister-in-law to be and nieces so there was a lovely air of excitement.   I love to capture the anticipation and the busyness of the preparation – when everyone thinks they have all the time – then before you know it, it’s that wonderful moment when you slip into your wedding gown…

Lisa and Tony had hired a fabulous VW Camper Van as transport for Lisa and her bridesmaids and mother to the Manor and then back to the L’Horizon for the celebrations!

Here are a few of my favourite shots from the day….

You are a wonderful, talented lady who captured our day beautifully. We love our album and it captures everything we hoped it would – we’ll treasure it always.

We’ve loved knowing you for the past year or so – you’ve been so kind and helpful and put us at ease on our big day!

We can’t recommend you enough!

Caroline & Richard Engagement – St Ouens Bay, Jersey

I met Caroline & Richard down at St Ouens beach – the light was beautiful and there was a real calmness after the Easter Weekend busyness! Although the temperature had dropped, it was still a lovely evening…  I love the colour and textures at St Ouens Bay especially when you’re lucky enough to get an amazing sunset too.  Thank you Caroline & Richard, it was great to spend some time with you and get to know you better!  Really looking forward to seeing you in June!
