I am an observer of people and I believe that people are at their best when they don't know that they are being photographed. My favourite comment after I photograph a wedding is that they did not realise I was taking photos at the time. I get it very often. I am very good at remaining unnoticed. I am not the type of photographer that will pose you and your guests for hours - it is your wedding day to enjoy and my job to record the story of it. And the story of each wedding day is so personal so I don't make compromises with staging the situation - just the wedding day as it happens with the entire range of emotions and events.

A little bit of both and having the right balance to it.

Be yourself. Forget the camera (and you will, I promise) and enjoy the day. And relax - things are rarely perfect; there is always something that will not turn as expected - but this is the thing that will make you laugh 20 years from now.

Photo journalism. Black and white, High contrast, documentary photography. But don't worry - I do photograph in colour and you will have a wonderful collection of wedding photos and wedding portraits that are both artistic and true

Oh, there are so many moments that become my favourite wedding shot - the kids, the parents, the look of the groom or the emotions of the bride: How can I choose one? However, there is one I captured many years ago and I still refer to it occasionally - it is a shot of 4 people leaving the church (very candid photographs, no one is looking at the camera); the trick is - there are 4 people from 4 different generations. When you realise how many people will look at the wedding photographs for how many years - well, it's a bit overwhelming, isn't it....

The little moments that usually remain unnoticed... But also everything important and all (yes, all!) the relatives!

Because I don't do the series of standard shots; I photograph the people with all their characters and little whims; I photograph the events that you will laugh when remembering and seeing in 20-30 years time; I photograph the day as it develops and I remain true to the personalities of the people

Only arty ones.... :)

Good mood, good humour and laughter

Cambridge Colleges - so many of them. Trinity, St John, Wolfson (beautiful garden!), Girton, Queen's (I love Queen's!), Claire and Murray Edwards and some more... But also Victoria & Albert Museum in London (Yes!) and a tent in a private garden... 

Couple of village pubs and some estates - Barrington Hall, Down Hall and I am sure even more... The Jockey Club Rooms in Newmarket (that's a big one!) and the Bedford Lodge Hotel... What used to be Hilton and is now the Graduate in Cambridge; and the posh hotel at the Cambridge Station (Tambourine / Clayton); also - how can I forget! - the Rosewood! Oh - Downing College and Hotel du Vin

We have to create a connection and we have to like each other. Ideally I want to spend couple of hours with you prior to the wedding - this way you will know what to expect and I will know things about you - they way you sit, stand, move and the way you (as a couple) talk to each other without words. These couple of hours greatly improve the final result. I usually do an "engagement" shoot before the wedding so we get to know each other.

Ocean beach, top of a mountain, desert dunes... I love alternative destinations and venues
