By the beard of Methuselah!

3 Fearless Awards in one round???

A first for me and much appreciated - thank you judges Fearless Photographers

First image - James and Marisa back in July shrouded by Alpaciii at Coltsfoot Weddings

Second image - Courtney enjoying a potato chip during bride prep in Abruzzo, Italy. An image I have always believed in and have entered every round since 2024!

Third image - one of my all time fave confetti nuclear blasts from Sophie & Craig’s big day all the way back in 2022 at Hertfordshire Wedding Barn
Another case of believing in an image and knowing it’s time in the sun will come.

The law of averages says I probably won’t win another until 2029 now, but I will keep believing in those images that mean a lot to me!

Natalie & Tom nestled among the Dahlias at South Farm during a very special day indeed.

You’ll be hard pushed to meet two lovelier people, and I felt honoured to be trusted to capture the intimacy of their day for them.

They chose a right quality bunch of suppliers, who each did their ting, and made the day spanking marvellous:

On a cool blustery, and sporadically torrential day of weather - Ellie, Chris and I patiently waited for the clouds to part to grab some light and by Jove, we bloody managed it!

Juggling 4 month old Millie and the arrival of Bella the King Charles Spaniel, Ellie & Chris had the absolute best day, while Tom and I told the story for them through still images and film.

Capturing Ellie’s special relationship with her mother Caroline, was especially rewarding for us.

Here’s the team that pulled it all together for them:

…..golden hour bestowed us with awesome light…..
…..the South Farm goats tried to eat Ross’s buttonhole…..
…..confetti was dispensed via Pony……
…..the bride designed the most amazing table centrepieces ever……
…..the groom had more groomsmen than a football team has players……

“Eek! These are SO great! The colours just pop everywhere and you caught so many special moments - we can’t wait to see the rest of them!

You and Tom were incredible on the day, you both made it so effortless so THANK YOU.

Love - Mrs and Mr Kennedy ###”

My first outdoors ceremony at Hertfordshire Wedding Barn in a minute was an absolute bobby dazzler, as Nikki & Dan enjoyed the spectacular hospitality there.

DON’T JUST LOOK BACK AT THE BEST BLOODY DAY EVER. FEEL IT.

I’m not one for chasing trends, I just care about the moments. Capturing them authentically without being a pain in the arse to my clients is where I’m at.

Bold, punchy edits that do your outfits, decorations and bouquets justice, and minimal posing with a ‘Cringe-Free Guarantee’ you can take to the bank.

I want you to just kick back, and enjoy your wedding and trust my process entirely.

Then, when you get your ‘Sneak Peek’ back from me (usually the next day), I want you to laugh, cry and FEEL the wedding day all over again.

A cheeky DM is all it takes to check my availability and (fingers crossed) begin our journey of working together on this special assignment.

Every wedding has its own story within a story.

When Talia & Ryan got married recently at South Farm, I was drawn to the connection and bond between her and her 3 sisters who were such an integral part of the day.

Once I had selected my photos for their Sneak Peek I realised just how integral they were to the day.

Here’s a selection of images of 4 sisters showing love and support for each other.

Jessica & James swapped confetti for mini tambourines and espresso martinis during their big day at Fanhams Hall
Neither of which were thrown at them. Thankfully.

The weather stayed saucy for us, and it didn’t half glow in the evening when we needed it to!

A special day at a special venue. Here’s the team of marvel that made it all happen:

Perched near the Essex coast is a hidden gem of a wedding venue called Villiers Barn Wedding Venue

A&H were good enough to introduce me to it when they booked me to capture their celebrations this weekend just gone, and I couldn’t be more tickled pink with the results!

Great food, great weather, great dancing, great outfits & great smiles throughout.

The simply storming troupe of suppliers below made it all happen for them:

A huge Mazel Tov to Talia & Ryan who celebrated their Jewish Wedding in style in the gardens of glorious South Farm on a proper old scorcher of a day!

Rabbi Oliver preceded over the ceremony, and DJ Gary worked the decks and got the Hora Simcha dancing going in the evening!

Oh, and I got mounted by a very small goat (see slide 16!). Big thanks for Tom for seizing the moment and capturing it!
