His Grace, the Duke of Westminster married Olivia Henson at Chester Cathedral last Friday.

It was great to capture such an historic moment when Chester was on the world stage.

I often meet inspirational people in my line of work and none more so than Dr Waheed A***n A child refugee from Afghanistan who is now an NHS doctor.

It was a real pleasure to photograph him at his home in Chester for The Times and The Sunday Times this week.

A great shoot with Rachel Lugo of The Real Housewives of Cheshire for Great British Racing and Oliver Greenall of Greenall Guerriero Racing at the stunning Stockton Hall Farm in Malpas, Cheshire.

My clients required a 'behind the scenes' selection of images to be distributed to the national media ahead of National Racehorse Week. Which will see yards across the UK being open for visits to members of the public.

Does your business or event require professional photography that would make your press release stand out? Does your website need a visual lift? Are new headshots needed to make that great first impression?

My latest commission for the The Times allowed me to see first hand the excellent work the National Trust are doing at a secret location in Eryri (formally known as Snowdonia), to plant the next generation of native trees.

Prestigious newspapers and organisations turn to me time and again to illustrate their news and develop their brand image. My experience as a former press photographer allows me to know what will get published when your press release lands on a news desk.

What a night for Wrexham AFC and the city!

This time, I was commissioned by Wrexham County Borough Council to capture the open to bus parade as the Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney brought joy to the streets of Wrexham.

Being given a blank canvas brief from a client is amazing, but also daunting - After scouring Google street view of the parade route, I found an ideal vantage point, located in the city centre and would allow me to capture a unique angle. Assuming it belonged to a shop below, I asked about the possibilty of photographing from the window, only to be told it was a private flat...

I managed to find the door to the flat.
Only to find the intercom buzzer broken...

I thought, if someone was home, perhaps they would be looking out of the window. And sure enough, as lady luck would have it, they were!

Waving like a madman, I caught the owners attention, who pointed to the door downstairs. Meeting her at the door, she explained she wasn't keen on the idea, so with using my experience negotiating portraits of awkward subjects and gaining exclusive access to venues as a former press photographer, she eventually agreed.

Would another photographer have managed to do the research? Be polite and persuasive?

This client trusted me implicitly and got the results 👌🏻🏆
