About me
I photographed my first wedding in 1999 and then went on to do several other friends and family weddings. In 2000 I started work with the Kodak Elegante Weddings organisation and remained with them for 2 years. In 2003 I started work with a Waterlooville photographer called John Abbott before setting up my own photography business in 2006 in Southsea, Portsmouth, Hants which now includes weddings, portraits, event, corporate and sport photography.
My documentary style is unobtrusive - brides often remark that they forgot I was there on the day which is exactly what I like to hear. The day is about the bride and the groom and friends and family and not about the photographer - hence I blend into the background as much as possible - apart from the group shots that is, for which I allow myself no longer than 20 minutes so the day is not spent on endless group combinations.
As for the equipment I use:
- Nikon equipment with top of the range professional camera bodies and lenses for the highest possible quality
- A complete backup kit of two Nikon bodies and lenses plus spare flashguns and batteries
- studio lighting should the weather be unsuitable
- Professional Indemnity insurance for your peace of mind
