James on his wedding day with his mum and dad.

I don’t need to explain why this picture always makes me smile. The photograph says it all.

A late night scene in the Smoking Room of The National Liberal Club.
A tired couple take a break on a sofa.
A jacket and shoes, belonging to other guests, left wherever they fell.
Neon green sunglasses worn by the bust Joseph Firth Bottomley Firth
All signs that the celebrations went well: great food, good wine, and some questionable dancing.

Well said Daniel Bridge Photography Tuition
For a start, I know you because of the shop!

Every single wedding I have photographed over the past 15 years has been with equipment I bought here — in person. When it comes to my camera gear and photographing important moments, I have to be able to trust both my equipment, where I bought it and the customer service.

I have great memories from over the years, getting to know everyone here.

Will be very sad to see CameraWorld leave Chelmsford.

And people ask me why I stay so late at weddings!

Here's a small collection of evening moments from Tracy and Jim's wedding at The Lion House.

In the warm spring sunshine, Chris and Karla take their very first steps together after making their promises to each other in front of their emotional and elated loved ones.

Walking through the historic Abbey Gate* on a sunny August day, Chelsea and Aaron held hands as newlyweds, having just left the Bury St Edmunds Register Office across the road.

There was a moment for photographs and conversation in the Abbey Gardens before moving on to drinks at the Angel Hotel.

It was a beautiful afternoon.

*It is quite an interesting tale of the monks, the townspeople, and riots.

I just love this smile.

This first one here is one of those unposed documentary portraits I enjoy capturing.
As always, I did not stage this; there was no direction from me.
I simply noticed this moment, composed the frame, and I was noticed! A lovely moment with her daughter eating a muffin after a wedding ceremony, followed by the family together, including the one soon to be born.

Sunshine and smiles by the pool in May.
It’s easy to forget after the days of gloom and fog (which I also enjoy) how it feels to be warm under the sun, but pictures like this bring it all back.

While capturing candid photographs of people on their wedding day – their guests, family, and friends – I also take a moment to view things from the couple's perspective.
To capture a few of the scenes they themselves would see, the views as they might experience them, rather than simply just photographing how we, as observers, see them and their day.
The corridors and staircases, the view from the window in the room where they are getting ready....
This is why I always say there is no need to tidy up for photos. I like things the way they just are.

I hope you are all having a wonderful Christmastime!

My documentary style focuses on capturing candid, unstaged moments. That said, many of my couples like to set aside a little time for relaxed portraits, and I always ensure this feels easy and natural, with minimal interruption to the celebrations.

Caroline stepped into the Light Oak Room at Leez Priory to adjust her veil, and the autumn light was simply perfect. Sam joined her there, and they shared a quiet moment for a quick photograph before returning to the laughter and joy in the bar.

On the day of Annie and Rian's wedding, one of the guests was charged with looking after Nellie, the three year old Labrador!

At St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace, one of the early arrivals at the wedding sits on the bench, waiting for the other guests to arrive and for the ceremony to begin.

There is quite a view when you look up from here, from the 800-year-old church grounds, surrounded by the modern towers of Bishopsgate.
And so much history.

20/12/2024

On a chilly mid-winter day, I’m remembering warmer days. In the sunshine, wedding guests are enjoying cocktails, Spanish-marinated olives, bread, and patatas bravas canapés at Jack and Alyssa's wedding.
There are many more pictures from this fantastic day on the blog on my website.
