I’ve been rather slack on the blogging front this year but I’ve finally got around to putting some pics up from some of the fantastic weddings I’ve been fortunate enough to shoot over the past 12 months. It’s been another amazing year which began with a return to the Hatton Court hotel in January for Natalie […]
So another year to reflect on, It’s funny where this photography thing takes you and the amazing opportunities it presents. My first job of the year was at the Swindon Arts Centre shooting Duran Duran guitarist Dom Brown and his band Blue to Brown. Quite a surreal change from my day job training Air Traffic Controllers […]
Nicola and Ian’s wedding was my second wedding in Bath this summer. The bridal prep shots were taken at the Pig near Bath, a lovely venue with some amazing cast iron pigs at the entrance.

Hi, and thanks for visiting my website.
Having trained as a graphic designer, only to realise I wasn't particularly good at drawing I spent the next 20 years working as an air traffic controller. Being fortunate enough to work at various airports around the world I developed a keen interest in photography and in particular documenting my travels and aviation related subjects.
In 2004 Julie and I got married in Mallorca, we chose a brilliant photographer called Claire Matches to document our wedding. Her images and creativity really inspired me and planted the seed for wedding photography. Life, as ever had other plans and it's only in last two years that I've had the opportunity to take time out from my current job as an air traffic control instructor to shoot weddings.
I'm used to dealing with high pressure and love photography and wedding cake, what could be a better job!
Having now settled in Gloucestershire, I live in Fairford in the Cotswolds with my wife Julie and cats Charlie and Stanley and divide my time between working in Gloucestershire and Bournemouth in Dorset.
