Tell couples about your experience and approach
I have been a wedding photographer for 15 years now.  Before photography I wrote fiction (as well as a brief stint writing for Banksy.. but that's a whole other story).  As I see it the thread between the two is storytelling.  I want each one of my photographs to tell a story.  That's why I shoot wide with a deep depth of field.  I like there to be a number of elements in each photo that reward repeated viewing.  A common response from couples is "We keep noticing new things we hadn't seen before."  I want your wedding photos to be more than wedding photos.  I want them to be stylistic records of a time and place.  Images that will keep enjoying for years to come.
What can couples do to get the most out of their wedding photography on the day?
You will have thought long and hard about what kind of wedding photos you want and so will have booked me after careful research for that exact reason.  The best remit you can do after that is just say "We love what you do, just do that."  Trust in the process, basically.
Are you super chatty or will be you be a fly on the wall?
The answer is a careful balance of the two.  I'm friendly and easy going and I will make conversation at the right moment. I know how to put people at ease.  Bridal prep can sometimes feel stressful and time sensitive and a bit of light conversation helps diffuse tension.  But at the same time if everyone's having fun I'm not going to butt in for the sake of it and will just fade back into the background and be much more fly on the wall.  I once had a bride tell me afterwards that her mum had said "I'm not sure about your wedding photographer, I didn't see him all day," and the bride said, "Yes, mum, that was the point."  And then heard back again that the mum loved the photos.. :-)
What are your artistic influences?
I have shelves and shelves of photography books.  From documentary photography to fashion.  I believe all the various different styles should feed into each other to create a kind of melting pot of influences.  William Eggleston is a huge favourite for somehow creating magic out of the commonplace and everyday things in life; Larry Fink for his use of on-camera flash from Warhol's Factory to Hollywood dinners; Dafydd Jones for a more British depiction of the same sort of thing; and along those lines, Martin Parr for his sense of humour in capturing the quirks of English eccentricity.
What was your favourite wedding shoot, and why?
I don't really have favourites.  Everyone's wedding is special because it's their wedding day.  I have shot weddings in New York, Hong Kong, Melbourne, St Tropez as well as scores of weddings with the reception in London pubs.  I have shot celebrity weddings and weddings for teachers.  Weddings where a 30 foot high wooden wedding cake structure exploded with fireworks and weddings where the wedding cake was made by someone's auntie.  If you're interested in people and capturing them as naturally as possible. Then the only real difference between any of them is the setting.
What kinds of moments are you looking to capture?
I'm looking for moments that are both that moment and something bigger.  That will stand the test of time.  I'm shooting for both the present and for what I called a future nostalgia.
Why should couples choose you as a photographer?
I bring a genuinely unique perspective to wedding photography.  Largely because I don't consider what I do to be wedding photography.  As I see it I am a photographer who will turn up to your wedding and take photos.  The last thing I want is for your wedding photos to look like generic wedding photos that you've seen a hundred times before.  I want them to look and feel fresh and real.  In a way I want them to be beautiful, high-end snapshots.  Photos that you can personally connect to.
What is the most important thing to you when you photograph weddings?
The most important thing is to capture the wedding that's in front of you.  Not impose a set of pre-set ideas about what it should or shouldn't look like.  Respond to the immediacy of the day.  Stay present and connected to all the different personalities and energies of the wedding you're shooting.
What's the most important thing couples should know about you before they book?
That I'll bring a good energy to their day.  I'm personable and easy to get along with.  I'll put you at ease and I won't ever ask you to do anything that you're not comfortable with.  You can ask me to photograph or not photograph anything you like.  It's your day.  You can do whatever you like.
Which venues have you worked at?
In no particular order: MC Motors in Dalston, St Barts and St Johns in Clerkenwell, St Luke's in Spittlefieds, Trinity Buoy Wharf, Clissold Park, The Mildmay Club in Stoke Newington, St Paul's Cathedral, East Dulwich Tavern, The Rookery, Wilton Music Hall, St James Palace, Charterhouse in Clerkenwell, York House in Twickenham, Islington Town Hall, Camden Town Hall, Hackney Town Hall, Chelsea and Westminster Town Hall, Claridges Hotel, The Saville Club, Voewood House, 2 Temple Place, Clapton Country Club, Old Finsbury Town Hall, Farm Street Church, Aynhoe Park, lots and lots of amazing backgardens.  The list goes on and on.
What is your bucket list for amazing venues you’d love to work at?
I have pretty much shot them all.  But more than happy to shoot them again.. ;-)
