New website coming soon! After nearly a three year gap (yeah thanks Covid!) I am going to be shooting a small number of weddings local to Chichester. I am missing the joy and getting to share the moments with my wonderful couples. More information coming soon....

On 21st September I photographed the wedding of Rachel and Ashley. This was such a special wedding in more ways that one. Not only was it the most beautiful day, full of everything that a wedding should be but it was also my final wedding.

I have taken the decision to stop photographing weddings to concentrate on the end of life work that I know many people are aware I am involved with. I will still be photographing portraits, pets and branding for local businesses in the future.

I would like to thank all of my amazing wedding couples who have trusted me to record their special days for them. I have loved every minute and every single one and it is a period of my life I will always treasure.

A few images from Jess and James' super laid back, super fun, super everything wedding yesterday! They left to a fantastic confetti shower and then went on to Oakwood Meadow for their reception. I had to include a photo showing what happens when the groom gets his own names wrong during the vows!

All set for Jess and James' wedding today at North Mundham Church and Oakwood Meadow Wedding Venue. The sun is due to come out and I just know this is going to be the most fun day!

I have been working as a photographer since 2006 and have had the most amazing experiences along the way. Over the past five years I have had personal challenges that have made me rethink the priorities in my life including beginning work at St Wilfrid's Hospice and training as an End of Life Doula. This work has become so important to me that I have decided to take a step back from wedding photography from the end of March 2020 to focus on it. I will continue with family photography and occasional weddings as I still love doing them.

St Wilfrid's Hospice is the most incredible place to be a part of, helping people at times when they and their loved ones are facing the toughest of times and it is nearly entirely funded by donations. I have come up with a way of raising as much for them as I can while at the same time supporting two of the wonderful Clinical Nurse Specialists I work for who are doing a fundraising trek in 2020.

50% of every session sold will go directly to St Wilfrid's via Tracey and Nicki so please book and share and help the hospice continue the vital work it does in the community.

The weather was much kinder today than last weekend for Sabrina and Rob's pre-wedding shoot at West Wittering. I am so looking forward to the weddings I have remaining this year - I have the best couples!

I've been a little slack about posting recently but here is one from this morning's pre- wedding shoot with Jess and James who get married next month. It was windy and rainy so a very brief shoot but we had a great laugh over a cup of coffee and I can't wait for their wedding! Oakwood Meadow Wedding Venue
