Authentic and sentimental photography in a Documentary Style

Hello and Welcome to my website! I'm a British wedding and family photographer in the south of France. I specialise in friendly, relaxed imagery that captures natural and spontaneous photos. I create image collections that - above all else - capture genuine emotion in a way that's natural, easy-going, and timeless.

Depending on the time of year, I flit between the French Riviera, where I live with my wife and children, and Warwickshire in the UK, where I'm from. A former photographer for the UNHCR, my style is led by authenticity, sentimentality, and spontaneity. I care deeply about every image collection I deliver and love creating and sharing images I know will be treasured forever.

No awkward posing during couple photography sessions

My experience and friendly, easy-going relationships with people allow me to create amazing results remarkably quickly. I never force people’s behaviour to fit my vision and instead give people the space and freedom to laugh, have fun, and be themselves during photo-shoots.

The experience of working with me is reflected in the feel of my imagery: authentic images that resonate with real sentiment. If they need to be, couple shoots during weddings can be done between 10 and 25 minutes, meaning they can be organised without being too disruptive on people’s time-tables.

A proposal on the French Riviera
21 March 2025
I just had to share these photos of a surprise proposal on Cap Ferrat on a day when, literally until the last minute, it was raining heavily. As the couple made their way down the winding path with their umbrella up, my camera bag sealed shut inside a waterproof bag, it was a bizarre situation to find myself in; photographing a proposal in such awful conditions. The couple had travelled half way around this world to be here, I'd been in communication with the client for months, and it was all leading up to this moment: it was their last night here and rain or shine it was now or never to pop the question. Then something amazing happened; both rain and shine at once. The sun was so low in the sky it suddenly shot through underneath the clouds and hit the grey landscape - lighting it perfectly. Despite being dragged out in such awful conditions, the proposal itself was a complete surprise and led to some amazing imagery. And then yes, during a photoshoot about 10 minutes later a rainbow appeared and the complete reversal of fortunes was complete. I was so excited for them and full of admiration on his insistence that it WAS going to happen, come what May - and what a reward; I'll probably never see anything like it again.

Nestled in the Warwickshire countryside, Ettington Park is one of the finest country-house wedding venues in the country. It's a genuine architectural marvel built in the Neo Gothic style which flourished in Victorian England. Built between 1858 and 1862 it now serves as a hotel and luxury wedding venue.
