In search of beauty
I've been mulling this subject over in my mind for what feels like an age.
I'm coming to recognise that, as photographers, its a given that we are always in search of beauty. There is always a new idea, a growth in a particular direction or something that we can't quite grasp hold of yet that is calling out to be photographed. For those that know, a portion of my time goes towards running a Facebook group called ‘Exceptional Beauty’. The goal of the group is to recognise

My first paid wedding gig - 4 years ago!
So here’s a slice of what my first ever paid wedding gig looked like. Helen and Tom’s beautiful wedding at Kelmarsh Hall was back in 2012. The thing is, I really, really loved it all. Although I wasn't the main photographer, I loved the fact that I could get paid to photograph people - it felt like a dream. So much so that it felt too good to be true and so I shied away for a couple of years. Isn't it silly that the thing that you often want most seems too unobtainable that y

HAPPY HOURS AND PRINCESS SOPHIE'S VISIT
Sometimes I struggle to call my corporate photography work 'corporate' because in all honesty, it couldn't be further from the truth.

I am so privileged to be working with some fantastic services and charities, but am very aware that I often get booked for d

Your Wedding, Your Vision
Last weekend I had my first wedding fayre of the Autumn. I came away feeling exhilarated and even more enthusiastic about wedding photography than I was before. This was because of the connection that I shared with those few people that stopped by for a chat.
Not everybody was interested. Infact a good chunk of people passed me by. I just wasn't what they were looking for and that was absolutely fine.
I've come to realise that its those whom REALLY looked at my photos, t

WHY YOUR PRINTS ARE SO IMPORTANT
"We are in a digital dark age", or so the Google's vice president Vint Cerf told us in last Fridays Metro newspaper. Just think now about all the outmoded forms of storage - floppy disks, VHS, even CD's. Try to find a machine that will read these devices... scary! We all love using social media as our go to for sharing our lives - for Birthdays, our children's first steps, our achievements (not to mention our countless culinary feats) and even Wedding photos. Its the quickest

ELLIE AND JACK - Birmingham Register Office and The Bond Company Wedding Photography
At the beginning of August, I had an amazing opportunity to photograph with Simon Brettell for Ellie and Jack's Italian themed wedding. The wedding took place at Birmingham Register Office and then a second ceremony and reception at The Bond Company, Digbeth. I started off with Jack, his groomsmen and his cat at their home in Yardley Wood, then met up with Ellie and the rest of their wedding party at Birmingham Register Office. I sensed from the get go that this was going to
