Christina and Alistair’s wedding in Hampshire (about 5 miles outside of Winchester) was a wonderfully British affair. A village church, a horse drawn carriage, extraordinary hats, waistcoats complete with fob watches, a marquee reception that barely took up a corner of what can only be described as a gently rolling back garden, rock oysters brought [...]
Somehow, booking over a year in advance, Gawain and Mary-Kate managed to land their wedding day on pretty much the only period of warm spring sunshine so far. The day was absolutely perfect for a park wedding, bright blue skies, golden light, wispy clouds and pink Japanese blossom. The day started out at the grand [...]
These are the photos taken from my latest wedding. In Dorset, on a day that oscillated wildly between torrential downpours and brilliant sunshine. Lucy is an amazing old friend. In fact I was a writer when I met Lucy and didn’t even own a camera, so things have changed a little since then. It was [...]
While I was out in India I took a few photos from an animal rescue charity called Mad Dogs Trust based in Fort Kochi, Kerala. Run by Penny Shepherd its aim is to rescue, care for and repair all the wounded, malnourished and often half-dead street animals of Kerala it can. (Mostly cats and dogs [...]
This is Teo, the brand new son of my dearest, and oldest, friend, Ed. (Oldest in terms of longevity but let’s face it, none of us are getting any younger. Okay, let’s not face it.. We are all getting younger. There.) Apparently Teo liked me, so I’m in. Which is lucky because one false move, [...]
My post processing is now a slightly complicated mixture of Lightroom and Photoshop. I mean it was always a mixture, it’s just now it’s slightly more complicated. Mostly because the more I learn the more I tinker around with it. And to be honest with you I went back to basics with Lr recently, using [...]
Here is the reason why I really didn’t mind the snow and black ice and biting winds this winter. I spent most of it in Southern India. A week in Kerala and then just shy of four beatific weeks on the Andaman Islands — a remote archipelago two hours by plane from Chennai (formerly Madras). [...]
The legend that is Vivienne Westwood at her son’s so-hip-it-hurts A Child of the Jago show at the Village Underground, Shoreditch. But despite it all being massively over the top it never quite felt pretentious. Or if it did maybe I was just prepared to let them off because it was infinitely more interesting than [...]
This was my first time photographing a children’s party. I’ve have made it look quite serene here. It wasn’t. Four and five-year-olds don’t tend to hold still for very long, it turns out. It was like shooting a wedding where everyone’s drunk from the beginning. I have to say I really enjoyed it, though. Getting [...]
This was the wedding that took place amid the squalls of late November. Towns flooded, bridges collapsed and every met office report suggested near biblical rains on the day. Added to that it was a late ceremony in the heart of winter. You could say I was a little concerned about the light. However, what [...]
