Just another day in the life of a Professional Photographer

Welcome to my blog!

I have been a professional photographer for over 20 years, building up a strong and thriving business serving Hampshire and throughout the UK.

There have been many successes along the way winning more than 30 awards for outstanding photography.

I have always strived not just to keep up with the latest developments and trends but to stay ahead of the game, for instance I changed over to a full digital studio back in 2000 and since that time has developed all of the skills necessary to produce the most original and inspiring wedding albums and images available.

Photography has been my passion since school where he studied various types of photography. I didn't think I could make a living with my camera and it wasn't until a few years later when I was made redundant from the local camera store that I decided to take my photography seriously and went full time and focussed all my attention on my wedding and portrait business and have never looked back.

I am proud to be a member of The Association of Elite Photographers and a qualified member of the National Photographic Society and the Master Photographers Association

Wedding pre-shoot as picture of the day at Portchester Castle

Friday, January 20, 2012 Posted in Day to Day, portraits, weddings

Hi all, we have the lovely Chloe & Matt as our picture of the day, it was taken for their pre-wedding shoot at Portchester Castle. It’s a great view across the river to Portsdown Hill.

What a great view over the river

We offer all of our wedding couples a pre-wedding shoot, it is a good way for us to get to know our Bride & Grooms plus check out the wedding venue as that is usually where we do the pre-wedding shoots, plus it’s good for the Bride & Groom to get a chance to see what it’s like to be the centre of attention, and they get a free framed print for their trouble.

See you tomorrow with another picture of the day..

Wedding Photography at Chewton Glen Hotel

Thursday, January 19, 2012 Posted in Day to Day, weddings

Just had an enquiry for a wedding at Chewton Glen for next year. The couple are coming to see me next week so fingers crossed because I absolutely love doing weddings at Chewton Glen, I have only been there a few times but would be happy to shoot all my weddings there, it is stunning for wedding photography.

I really like the conservatory at chewton Glen where they hold the ceremony, it’s very light and airy although can get a bit hot on a summers day, here is a page from Joby & Amel’s wedding album with photographs taken during the wedding ceremony.
