What Inspires My Photography

A Style Focused on Emotion, Connection and Real Moments

Why I Photograph
I love creating images that people genuinely connect with - capturing the emotion, atmosphere and natural moments that bring an event to life.

My Approach
At the heart of my work is a focus on people. I blend relaxed documentary photography with editorial-style portraits, allowing moments to unfold naturally. When needed, I provide gentle direction to create images that feel authentic, meaningful and beautifully composed.

Why Choose Me
Before becoming a photographer, I spent over 20 years in senior management roles within banking and hospitality. This experience has shaped the way I work today - professional, organised, customer-focussed and calm under pressure. Couples and Clients often describe my presence as discreet and reassuring, helping everyone feel at ease in front of the camera.

Where I Work
Based in Harpenden, I shoot across London, Hertfordshire, the South-East and UK-wide.
