Hook Norton Brewery wedding | Louisa & Andrew
Hook Norton Brewery in Oxfordshire and the location for a wedding in February sunshine. A sunny winter wedding for Louisa and Andrew. Like most of my weddings, a wedding that has a link to a previous wedding. I photographed the wedding of Louisa’s brother, back in 2014. Another sunny wedding day but a touch warmer.

Twenty Years of digital wedding photography
Digital wedding photography began for me twenty years ago. July 2022 will be the twentieth anniversary of the first wedding I shot with digital cameras. All because the couple wanted their wedding shot completely in black and white. Every wedding I had covered up to this point had been with 35mm film cameras, namely the

Horsham wedding | Jenni & Craig
A Horsham wedding, a local wedding for me. A ceremony at Park House registry office with a reception in the garden of the Frog and Nightgown pub (and tearoom), just north of the town. This was a wedding that had originally been planned for 2020. Jenni got in touch back in 2019, ‘I’m really interested

Southover Grange wedding | Laura & James
Southover Grange in Lewes would be the ceremony venue for this winter wedding for Laura and James. The wedding reception was in a local pub a short walkaway.

The third National lockdown in the UK. My final wedding of 2020 had been brought forward 24 hours before restrictions took effect pre-Christmas. After a socially

Two Woods Estate wedding | Rhianna & Oli
Two Woods Estate, a unique outdoor wedding venue in West Sussex. Just off to the side of the old Roman road that linked Londinium (London) to Noviomagus Reginorum (Chichester). We call it the A29 now. Just south of the village of Billingshurst, so a local Sussex wedding venue to me. But although I’ve driven down

Bluebell Railway wedding | Laura & Charlie
Bluebell Railway wedding for Laura and Charlie. Well, I say ‘wedding’, it’s in the generic sense, as this was actually a civil partnership ceremony in the waiting room at Horsted Keynes railway station. The first civil partnership I’ve photographed that has not been a same-sex ceremony, since the law changed for opposite-sex couples in December

Cherry Barn wedding | Becca & Will
The Cherry Barn near Rye in East Sussex was the wedding venue of choice for Becca and Will. A day in August they had booked long before the Covid-19 pandemic. They booked me back in November 2019. In between weddings got hit hard. At first, no weddings were allowed, then just 15 people, 30 people,
