Best of 2022
It’s been another amazing year of capturing joy! Thanks to the pandemic (let’s not mention that ever again hopefully!) it’s been extremely busy due to the last of the postponements, but fingers crossed its now behind us!
I know I say it every year, but I want to say a huge thank you to all of my couples for letting me be part of their wedding. You all put a lot of trust in me and I feel privileged to be there sharing these beautiful moments with you, I definitely don’t take it for granted. I really do love my job!

Weddings
Are
Back!
2020 didn’t really warrant a ‘Best Of’ post, because, let’s face it, Covid pretty much ruined everyone’s plans. But after many hard months of postponements and rescheduling 2021 really didn’t disappoint! Yes it was crazy busy and a little overwhelming at times but oh so worth it!
2021 also contained another big life milestone - the birth of our second baby Rafferty! He’s been a little dream so far so it’s only fair that the first photo in this post should be from his very first few moments on earth (and also one of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken).
I don’t really have much else to say apart from I missing shooting weddings terribly when we were in lockdown - just look at the pure, unadulterated, moments of joy I get to capture with all my lovely couples and their friends and family!
Roll on 2022!
Best of 2019
Another year of awesome weddings has been and gone and I still feel like I’m living the dream doing the job I do!
I’ve been a bit quiet on social media and tried to focus on being a dad. I realise i’m very privileged to be in such a flexible profession that allows me to be so present as Freddie learns and grows. I’m also very grateful to my wife who has been a dream in supporting me during the busy summer months!
I’d also like to say a big thank you to all of my amazing couples this year. I’m always overwhelmed by how welcoming people’s families and friends are at allowing me into their world and treating me with such kindness.
It goes without saying but I’m so excited to kick of weddings in 2020 - my second decade as a wedding photographer! Yah!
Anyway…enjoy my fave snaps of 2019!!!
Best of 2018
This year has been one full of life milestones for me and it’s been my busiest year since becoming a wedding photographer. I’ve worked with so many beautiful happy couples and I’ve also had an amazing opportunity to take portraits of new signings for my boyhood football club Nottingham Forest, but ultimately all of this was surpassed by the birth of my amazing little boy Freddie!
Fatherhood has been life changing and incredible. I couldn’t help but include personal photos in this years post. I’ve also included some pics from Art of Football’s Nottingham fan zone documenting England’s reaction to our World Cup success - perhaps the second most incredible life moment (England winning a penalty shoot out!!!).
Each year I love compiling my favourite photos for this blog post. Whilst the wedding season always seems like a whirlwind, being able look back on the year and take stock of all the beautiful couples, places and moments i’ve witnessed is really fulfilling and makes me proud of what I have managed to create for people.
Unfortunately it hasn’t been all happiness this year. Sadly my wife lost her dad very suddenly and having photos to look back on really did emphasise how important photography is. Being able to transport your mind back and appreciate the value of that moment, long after it has past is the priceless joy of my craft.
