I want the photographs you commission to be about you — whether it’s your wedding day, location portraiture, a photoshoot of your child in the park or being on hand to record your dad’s 60th.  I believe in delivering natural, relaxed photographs that mean something to you personally and that will continue to resonate in years to come  I’m not going to sit you and your family down in a studio with a blanket and a beachball and pretend that everyone’s having the time of their lives.  Because mostly they won’t be.  Mostly they’ll be sitting there feeling incredibly self-conscious.  Mocked-up situations and studio props will mean nothing to you in the long run.  Similarly, on your wedding day I’m not going to go in for those cheesey set-ups, like suddenly asking the bride to hike up her dress to reveal her garter while I tell the bridesmaids to pull shocked, Carry On-like expressions in the background.  (I’m not making this up, this happens more thank you’d think.)  My photographs are a record of the day, moment to moment.  They will have a sense of style and drama and romance, but most occasions have that naturally — that’s why you’ve asked us to be there to photograph it.  For me, it’s about capturing your day as it happens, not forcing it to fit into some pre-existing idea we have.
