Dad was a photographer and as a result I was always surrounded by cameras and photography. On my 8th birthday be bought me my first camera which was a Polaroid. I took to it like a duck to water and was always snapping my family gatherings and outings. My love of photography has grown over the years and I have now been involved at a professional level for the past 17 years. To hone my skills and acquire a greater depth of knowledge I spent several years assisting a number of photographers shooting a wide range of subjects from fashion to large scale industrial installations. This took me as far afield as North America and Eastern Europe. I also spent time assisting a master photographic printer in London who worked for such practitioners as David Bailey, Mario Testino, Rankin and Tom Stoddart.

After seeing my personal reportage photography shot on the streets of Spain, Greece, New Zealand and Australia a couple, who are close friends, approached me to shoot their wedding. I approached this in much the same intuitive method that I employ to this day and the end result was a personalised picture story of their day. It was very well received and resulted in a Bath & Bristol wedding magazine featuring the photographs in an editorial piece about my work.

This was the start of my career as a wedding photographer & doing wedding photography in Bath.
