And that is just what I love to do. Use photography to tell the story of your wedding day, of everything that happened with your family, and your friends. The smiles, laughs and tears of the speeches, and believe me that even though I have heard hundreds of speeches, some of them still have the power to affect me deeply.

I photographed my first wedding back in 2001, much against my better judgement! Joanne had seen my work at an exhibition at the now defunct Pines Hotel in Christchurch way back in 1998, my first ever solo exhibition. Amongst the 40 or so images on display, only two featured people, and in both the subjects were naked and draped over trees in the New Forest.

I have chosen my award-winning suppliers because I believe they offer great products at good prices. That doesn't mean they are cheap, simply that they represent really good value for what they are. I have tried many different products during my 17 years as a professional wedding photographer, some I loved and decided they were too expensive, and others I've hated and wanted nothing more to do with.

My approach to portrait photography has changed dramatically since the time when photography was just a hobby for me; I never did it then! I first picked up a camera to photograph nature and landscapes, and I strove to exclude any sign of people from my pictures. Today, even my personal work such as Obsessions and Wildwood completely revolves around people.

Let's tell you just a little about me and what I would love to do as a portrait photographer. My first experience as a portrait photographer, apart from some work at college during the 90s, was at Cats Whiskers Day Nursery when it first opened in 2001. What a challenge for a budding photographer. At the time I was still part-time, just thinking about changing careers, and it anything would put me off, then surely it would be spending a day photographing sixty under fours!Well, no, I loved it!
