Katrina and Adam's pre-wedding shoot

On a very hot, sunny day on the Southbank I met up with Katrina and Adam for their pre-wedding shoot. They tie the knot next month at St Peter's Church, Ightham and then have a reception at Barham Court, Teeston.

Here are a few of my favourites from the day!

Whitstable portrait session

Here are a few images from a recent portrait session in Whitstable, where there are a large number of Beach huts which made for great backdrops. We had to work quickly as light levels dropped and the rain started, but it was a good excuse to break out the off camera flash for a different look. The girls braved out the conditions, until the thunder and lightening when we all decided to call it a day!

Claire and David's wedding - 29th May 2010

On an unfortunately wet day in May, I had the pleasure of shooting Claire and David's wedding, firstly at St Saviours Church, Tonbridge, then Hotel Du Vin, Tunbridge Wells - where the evening was ended with an amazing disco complete with smoke machine - unusual, but it made for great images!

Here are a few of my favourites from the day.

Katie and Ben's wedding - 22nd May 2010

Saturday the 22nd May saw the wedding of Katie and Ben at St Lawrence's church, Abbots Langley followed by a reception at the amazing Hunton Park. We didn't have to worry about rain, as it was the hottest day of the year so far, an unseasonable 26C - there were a few red faces at the end of the day (including me). Here are a selection of my favourite images from the day - congratulations Katie and Ben!

Katie and Ben's wedding - Hunton Park, 22nd May

I'm just getting ready for tomorrow's wedding at Hunton Park - a fantastic venue, no rain predicted and most of all a fantastic couple!


I take my planning seriously, as nothing can be left to chance for a couples big day. Preparations for a typical wedding include:

• charging numerous batteries (6 camera batteries, 30 rechargeable flash batteries and 2 videolight batteries)
• 
  formatting 130gb of flash cards
• checking all cameras, synchronising their time and date if necessary
• cleaning all lenses
• re-checking the final plans of the day including timings, must have shots etc.
• printing hard copies of all directions (even though I use SatNav)
• Checking off all equipment to ensure it's packed - including 2 camera bags, tripod, monopod, stepladders (not the tallest photographer in the world so they come in handy!!), reflectors, 3 flashstands, silver and white umbrellas, portable softbox, videolight
• I even check over the car - oil, water and tyres (just like my dad taught me to every week!)

So lot's to do today, will hopefully have a few sneak-peak pictures for the blog on Sunday!
