I recently photographed a wedding at the Queen’s private chapel in Windsor. Or, to give it it’s full name, the Royal Chapel of All Saints, Windsor Great Park. I’ve been meaning to get something up from this wedding to give you a little glimpse but the last two weeks have been so busy I haven’t…
Well it’s Friday once again and what better way to say hello to the weekend than with some shots from a recent wedding? Alex & Simon got married on the ss Great Britain in Bristol. I had a great time with them and their friends and family. If you follow me on facebook then you…
great wedding yesterday with alex & simon onboard the ss great britain. here are a few frames for now… congrats guys!
Here are a few randomly selected personal favourites from Lou & Ben’s lovely wedding a few weeks back. As I write this the sun is shining for once and I’m crossing my fingers that it stays that way for my next couple this weekend… *think sunny thoughts, think sunny thoughts* Oh, and a happy May…
A few frames from a wedding in Clifton this weekend… BIG congratulations to Lou & Ben.
There’s something about being by the sea that just puts a smile on my face. Here are a few frames from a recent engagement shoot on Clevedon Pier. It was nice to catch up with Clare and Kieren and I’m really looking forward to their wedding later this year at the rather splendid Clevedon Hall.
I had a great time with Jon and Rachel. And I think they enjoyed it too. In fact, Rachel said it made her feel like a rockstar. Never a bad thing on a Sunday afternoon! Someone asked me the other day whether I thought it was necessary to have an engagement shoot before your wedding,…
This was one of the last weddings of 2011 for me, and it really was a fun, laughter-filled day. Lou and Si are a really fantastic couple and I knew them from having photographed Lou’s sister’s wedding the year before. I love it when the happiness and joy of the day is written all over…
Some sunny blue skies to brighten up this murky February morning…
Back in November, Claire and Jonny got married at St Francis Church in Bristol and then had their reception on the ss Great Britain. For anyone who doesn’t know, the ss Great Britain was a pioneering ship launched in Bristol in 1843. Conceived by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, she travelled thirty-two times around the world and…
When Heidi first contacted me about her wedding I had a feeling we’d get on. When I met her and her parents up in London I was even more certain. I’d been looking forward to her and Jim’s wedding for what seemed like ages and when the time came to head over to Essex I…
So, where to begin. First of all a big thank you to Esme and Mike for choosing me to be their documentary wedding photographer. It was such a fantastic day. The people, the locations, the weather, the food (mmmm the food – you can see the 9 hour spit roast lamb later on) – all…
Hello… A slight change to our scheduled programming for this blog post I’m afraid – but I wanted to use this (very small) platform to make a bit of an appeal. I’m looking for a local charity to do some work with over the course of 2012. I would like to donate my time and…
As I wake up, slightly bleary eyed, I can confidently say that 2011 was quite a year. Over the last 365 days there were: Approximately 60,000 images shot 48 mars bars consumed Roughly 64 speeches heard (and enjoyed) 6 cupcakes eaten (when offered) So many cans of coca cola drank that I can’t even count…
jess + ray Back in October I travelled over to Cardiff to photograph my first Chinese wedding. I really, really hope it’s not long before I get to go to another one because I had such a great time. The customs and traditions were fascinating to observe and for a photographer, the morning in particular…
lou + si I have tonnes of stuff to blog at the moment, so I’ll have a few full wedding posts coming up this week. But for now here’s a few images from this weekend’s totally rad wedding at Coombe Lodge just outside Bristol. Fab couple, fab venue, fab day! ps. I think confetti on…

Veronica and Dario were married at Leatherhead Registry Office back in September and we all went on to The Running Horses pub in Box Hill for a big party, lots of wine and some amazing food. Italian weddings, if this was anything to go by, are seriously good fun. I can’t wait for my next…
Last week I was in Cardiff for a traditional Chinese wedding. This was my first time photographing a Chinese wedding and I loved it. I’ll write more about it when I blog the wedding in full, but the first of these two images was taken at 9am in the morning, when the groom and groomsmen…
Here’s a super small preview of a wicked wedding that I photographed in Southend this week. We had a blast and I can’t wait to show you more. Congratulations Heidi and Jim!
At the end of one of the hottest weekends of the year, in October no less, I had a lovely stroll around Ashton Court in Bristol with Helen and Nick. You know a wedding is going to be great when a couple are so at ease and can’t stop laughing with each other. They’re getting…
Well, I’m back home after a long weekend in the Lake District. And what a weekend it was. Amazing scenery, a delightful wedding and severely aching legs after a quick hike up some hills. The next two weeks is going to be pretty busy with another 3 weddings in quick succession. So, for now, here’s…
Morning all! Here’s a quick glimpse of this weekend’s wedding at the lovely Southville Centre in Bristol. It’s really light, airy and calm, a very tranquil venue and we had a lovely day there. Tom and Izzi were great fun to be around and I can’t wait to show you this one in all its…
Some of you might have seen this already as it’s been out for a week or two now, but for those who haven’t… I had a great day in August at Cadbury House Hotel shooting the cover item for Folio magazine’s autumn wedding supplement. It’s always interesting to do something a bit different and this…
Two frames from this weekend’s Italian wedding in Surrey. Had a wonderful day with a lovely warm-hearted couple and their friends and family, and it really didn’t matter that I couldn’t understand the vast majority of what anyone was saying!
This was a great wedding I photographed back in July. I joined Claudia at the salon on the morning of her wedding. I enjoy this part of the day – it’s always pretty lively and it’s nice to see the bride and her bridesmaids having fun. It’s also quite a good chance for people to…
Was out and about today playing with my film camera. Wandered down to see Bristol’s ‘See No Evil’ exhibition. They’ve given what was a pretty drab part of the centre of town a complete facelift, with bright colours and incredible street art almost everywhere you look. It’s going to be up for a year at…
This was quite an unusual wedding for me as I only met Tony and Julia in person 3 days before their wedding. They’d got in touch beforehand from overseas and booked me for documentary wedding photography based on a brief phone call and from having seen my portfolio. I was really honoured to be there…
I haven’t had time to do a full blog post yet this week, so here’s a tease from Mike & Esme’s wedding at River Cottage in Devon this weekend. I had an absolutely lovely day here and they really made a perfect couple. River Cottage is a special place for a wedding, the staff there…
Roll up, roll up – here’s the final post for the blog’s first day. A tease from my last wedding. Gorgeous day with a great couple.
We left off last time with our bride arriving and her groom nervously waiting… so let’s join them as she makes her entrance.
Here’s a tease from another recent wedding – a really great party with lots of toasting, a stunning bride and a fair bit of vodka! The full wedding will be blogged soon. Love the black nail varnish/white dress combo.
Okay, well what better way to start a blog on a wedding photography site than with a gorgeous early summer wedding with a beautiful bride and lovely weather? Good, I’m glad you all agree. Helen and Ed got married at Kingscote Barn in the Cotswolds, not far from Tetbury. It was an absolutely stunning day,…
Here’s a new slideshow from a wedding I photographed earlier this year near Tetbury, at the lovely Kingscote Barn. Every couple I work with receive a complimentary slideshow set to a selection of the music from their day. I often have emails and calls from brides saying they’ve been watching the slideshow 6 or 7…
Hello. I’m Sam and this is my blog. I’m a professional wedding photographer based in Bristol. I am a documentary photographer – that means I capture moments as they happen. I don’t stop people, I don’t pose them, I don’t tell them what to do. I believe couples should be free to enjoy their day…
