My approach is the same for portraits as it is for weddings. My aim is to capture those natural, spontaneous moments and create pictures that will bring a smile to your face everytime you open your album or see a picture on the wall.

Creating great portraits is all about being relaxed and enjoying the shoot. This is why I like to photograph on location. The session can take place at your home or a favourite place such as the beach. Children soon become absorbed in play and forget the camera and that's when great pictures happen.

For some commissions the studio is ideal and we can shoot at my studio in Laughton or the surrounding area. We have chickens, woods to explore and a local duck pond.

For weddings I take the same approach as portraits. I capture those moments that will bring back the memories of the day. My approach is to let the day unfold and shoot your wedding as a story. However, diving in with ideas for a great shot or orchestrating a few group shots means you have a rich source of pictures to select for your album. These spontaneous pictures can then be mixed with more formal shots to create a truly amazing album.

I have developed a range of packages that will suit the large or small wedding or civil ceremony. Look at these as a guideline and let me know your budget and what you would like for your wedding and let me put a bespoke package together for you.

And finally...Pictures for Interiors This is a new range of fine art photography, ideal for your home or as a gift that is a little different.
