amazing even if I say so myself Victoria and David Sevenoaks 26th May 2013">

Grant Thornton at the Cutty Sark

this was an amazing afternoon and evening, we met at the London Eye to board the Barracuda to Greenwich, all day it had been grey and wet then as if someone was on our side the blue sky appeared during the duration of our boat trip to Greenwich.

On arrival the partners were met y fantastic staff at the attraction and we were led underneath the Tea Clipper where the most amazing layout would have complimented any wedding

my job was all reportage, no posed shots just tell the story of the event and capture the networking and location details.

If you look through the gallery I think its safe to say...job done :-) Really pleased with these images even though a motherboard broke on the 5d last night that will cost £400 to have mended

A really nice gallery set from a pre wedding shoot today at St Julians Club in Sevenoaks, if anyone is looking for a great venue with really friendly staff and great food and views then you can't go far wrong with St Julians Club.
This shoot was the free pre booking shoot I provide for my potential wedding clients, this gives them a chance to see how I work and the photos I take of them before they book me, I don't think many full time professional photographers offer this

Some stills I shot a couple of years ago, the light is caused by a big thing called he sun, we may see it again one day ?

Event photography gallery

Priestfield Pharmacy Ball 14th March 2013


Ok event photography was the order of the evening last night and yes I have all the images up already!
it was a great event put on by Aine Hackett Vice president of the Medway Pharmacy Students Association http://www.msp.ac.uk/student-life/mpsa/
at Priestfield football stadium in Gillingham, the venue looked stunning and people were in great sprits and by the end of the evening had also consumed some great sprits and a few beers!

I set up a studio area and shot a few reportage images of the events awards and speaches and everyone had a great time, later on in the evening I pulled out a dress up box with silly glasses and hats for people to have some fun


well look at he gallery and see for your self what a great event it was

I look forward to the next event with these guys and wish them all the best with the next part of their journey

Goudhurst Today

I am off to Goudhurst today to meet with a couple who are getting married, as you may have seen on this blog I offer a free pre booking shoot to my clients before they book me for their wedding photography.

This is where we wander around for a short time just half an hour or so is all it takes and they get to see how I work, I then host a gallery of the images like this one http://jalbum.net/a/1318379
and they can then decide if they want to book me, these shoots a pretty popular, I guess the price is right.. free

I am amazed that people book their photographer based on nice shots of other people, still it's just my take on things.

Though its wet today the light is great, it has a certian metalic feel to it and there are almost no shadows out there so the shots will be great

Well Lots of people ask if I just shoot weddings and the reply is no, I am a full time photographer so shoot pretty much anything, these are a set from a tutorial shoot in my studio, the model is not a model and these were intermitant shots I took while showing the other photographer lighting set ups

Its great fun and interesting as well and the comments I received from the other photographer were interesting, she said 'I thought studio work would be easyer than other stuff I have done but actually it's harder!

There are lots of 'photographers' using commercial equipment and Ipad apps to edit their shots, lesson learnt for the day.... that is not how it works

Anne-Marie & Nick wedding at St James's Church and High Rocks Tunbridge Wells
