about me

my approach to photography

I'm passionate about my photography and I love photographing people. There is nothing quite like capturing the essence and character of someone on film. I feel my style, approach and vision is unique, creating timeless works of art that convey so much more depth and emotion than just a likeness. It's always a priviledge to me to be commissoned to photograph an individual or family's portrait.

my approach to weddings

I photograph weddings because I love them. It is always an immense priviledge to be booked to photograph a couple's most important day and I treat it as such. I love the excitement of the day, sheer variety and capturing the emotion and essence. Every wedding I've photographed has been so different and enjoyable. I work in a very unobtrusive manner, with a relaxed and friendly approach. Couples, parents and their guests love my style and manner and comment how refreshing it is to find a photographer that blends into the day, yet captures it so beautifully. I like to document weddings naturally with little intervention. My style and approach to weddings allows everyone to be themselves and enjoy the day, whilst together we create amazing works of art.

A bit about me

Yes that's me looking a lot younger! I'm a 38 year old full time professional photographer with a fine art background and over ten years experience photographing weddings, people and places. I was born and raised in Africa and still miss the reliable sunshine! My art background informs my work through strong compositions, the play of light and ultimately creative photographic works of art. My preference is to use natural light as much as possible as the subtlety and range of tones adds to the drama of the day. Avoiding the use of flash also allows me to photograph people at their most relaxed and natural.

I'm based just outside Tavistock in Devon where I live with my lovely children and the Tamar Valley provides such superb quality of life and creative environment in which to work. Though choosing to live in Devon I regularly cover weddings and portrait photography assigments throughout the UK and Europe. So please contact me to discuss your next portrait commission or plans for your wedding.
