Just back from a gorgeous shoot in Bury on the old Lancashire Railway line there, doing a Cherish the Dress shoot of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, aka Chloe and Jenny in their stunning wedding dresses. Cherish the Dress is a fashion and beauty shoot which gives you the chance to show off your dress […]
Just back from a Vintage Cherish the Dress shoot (more on that later) but I wanted to flag up Kathryn Hanson, an up and coming bespoke bridal dress designer. She designed all the dresses for the shoot and I think she has got real flair. www.kathrynhanson.co.ukHere’s one of my photographs from the shoot, showing Kathryn’s […]
I am fortunate enough to work as a travel writer for many publications including Harper’s Bazaar, The Observer and The Telegraph I have had the luck to travel all over the world and work with many of the top travel companies. Of course, when you are working for the press you get special treatment so […]
It can be quite daunting to choose the person who is going to take your wedding pictures.

Aside from taking wedding pictures I love to travel and often work for the broadsheets as a travel […]
scroll down…Oops. Looks like neither of them will be getting married anytime soon then… Although Saskia (6) did say she had plans to marry Leo, despite the fact that she says he has several other girlfriends! But I’m happy to take your wedding pictures, Saskia!
I have struck the jackpot. My son’s father has volunteered to design the invitations for my son’s party. Oli is not only a very talented architect, but also one of those people (well actually the only one I’ve ever met) who breathes creativity with his hands.
