Hastings Pier

I've just been chosen to be one of the official photographers documenting the rebuilding of Hastings Pier.  It's a cause close to my heart so I am very excited at the prospect of spending the next 18 months photographing the renovations. I will post some progress pictures once work gets underway but in the meantime if you are interested in the project have a look at the pier website here:

David's Brides launch show with Condé Nast Brides

Back stage withe the teams from Michael Van Clarke Hair and Benefit Cosmetics at the UK launch show for american bridalwear company David's Brides

I was there to shoot the show for Condé Nast Brides Magazine, it was lovely to see all the girls from the magazine again !

Spring arrives in the Brecon Beacons

I had to travel to Wales for a shoot last weekend, the sun was shining and the sheep were...........

making such a noise I couldn't sleep ! Probably my fault for choosing to staying on a farm.

Laura & Richard had the perfect weather for their big day much to everyone's surprise, the sun shone and the guests could enjoy themselves outside, probably for the first time this year, giving a lovely buzz to the celebrations and Laura had no need for the antique cream fur stole she had bought from Portobello Market for the occasion.

Sarah & Gareth

I had a fabulous time on Saturday photographing Sarah & Gareth's wedding in Cobham and the The Wentworth Club at Virginia Water.

I'd photographed the wedding of Sarah's sister Charlotte in 2008 so it was lovely to meet up with the family again.  It's always nice to be invited back as it means you must have done an okay job the first time !  My record is four weddings from one family.

The sun shone as an added bonus and Sarah looked ravishing !

My wedding of 2012

Have a look at this blog from the USA. It features my pictures and two fascinating behind the scenes videos from my favourite wedding of 2012 at Battersea Power Station

Mexico & Belize

Just back from a trip to Mexico & Belize, the perfect antidote to the English winter!  I travelled the length of the Yucatan Peninsula then crossed over to  San Pedro on the Belize Cayes  ( made famous by Madge when she sang "Last night I dreamed of San Pedro......)

Fantastic diving, wonderful food and just the odd Margarita .

and a close encounter !
