Award-Winning Gildings Barn Wedding Photographer

I live in the Kent town of Edenbridge which boarders Surrey & Sussex with my wife Ellen, (who is a city-girl turned country-wife) and my two boys Ellis (14) and Evan (11). This little trio of people keep me focused on what’s important and grateful every day that they are all in my life.

As early as I can remember I have had a camera in my hand, but it wasn’t until around 2006 when a wedding photographer friend needed a second shooter. I was encourage to put my ‘big boy pants on’ and jump head first into weddings…. well I did and I absolutely loved it! I have shot countless weddings now and always have the best time with my amazing couples, I feel like such an imposter, ‘how can I call this work?’

If Carlsberg Did photography it would be a wedding photographer! it truly is the best and most rewarding job ever and I feel so privilege and honoured to capture such a special day!
