ABOUT US
I was born in the North East of England and at the age of sixteen I joined the Army. Upon leaving the Army I decided to go travelling and having had a keen eye for art in my earlier years thought I would record my venture around the world with a new camera. Sure I had cameras when I was a small boy, and loved taking pictures, but who didn’t. I certainly never thought I would ever be a wedding photographer in Gloucestershire.
It was during my travels I got hooked and obsessed with taking pictures. Much to people’s annoyance I was a bit of a perfectionist, though in my defence you couldn’t just delete film in those days. So there I was in my early years, building experience as a travel photographer. On my return to the UK photography became a hobby for a few years, I joined camera clubs and night schools and started to photograph models, street scenes and urban landscapes. Having won many competitions both locally and nationally, I decided to go pro. I was ready to be a wedding photographer in Gloucestershire. I wanted to be different, to follow my heart and to shoot a style I loved, to have passion in my work is very important to me and so is standing out. I follow two genres in the main, Photojournalism is great for capturing the real essence and atmosphere of the wedding day, capturing moments otherwise lost between guests as the bridal party prepares in that exciting and apprehensive morning. This wasn’t quite enough for me though, I love arty and moody portraits of the bride and groom, getting creative with both natural and other light sources to create a lot of my now signature images. These two genres of photography combine to give a truly powerful representation and more importantly memory of the happiest day of your life.
Of course I cater for group shots. I was married in June 2011 and understand the importance of these which is why I put every effort into producing them to the same very high standard as the rest of my work, including all the details of your day for the album too.
So how is my work different to any other wedding photography in Cheltenham or Gloucestershire? There are hundreds of buzz words out there in the wedding photography business. I guess I would say the bottom line is I am an artistic reportage and contemporary classic wedding photographer in Gloucestershire.
