Last Monday was a whole load of excitement! I’m thrilled to have been highly commended in the best photographer in the South West category at this year’s Wedding Industry Awards, the 5th time in a row! One thing I always strive for is consistency, so that box has been ticked! 😂 I would like to go one better next year of course though, onwards and upwards!

Thank you again to all the amazing couples who put their faith in me to capture their wedding stories, it really does mean a huge amount, and preserving memories is a massive honour and privilege.

Thank you to for an amazing awards scheme and for putting on an incredible night, congrats to my photo brother for taking home the main prize, a very worthy winner, and if I was going to be beaten by anyone, I’m glad it was you.

Perfect autumn sunshine and colours for Emily and Nick last week, at the sublime Hale Park. I think autumn is my favourite time of the year for weddings, so much more colour, and always the best light!

An absolutely beautiful day filled with emotion, fun, laughter, toasted marshmallows around the fire, finished off with a belter of a surprise firework display.

Thanks again to my wonderful wingman for a few of these!

Super chuffed to have picked up 5 new awards from , thank you so much to the judges, and of course the lovely couples and guests who featured, several of whom got covered in champagne in the process!

I’m also proud to be in the Top 10 this year with the Masters for the last 4 years in a row, consistency is something that is really important to me in my photography, and I’m always looking for that new or unique angle that will create an image that feels fresh and interesting, but above all an authentic reflection of the wedding day itself.

The photographer’s photographer - One of the things I pride myself on is creating photos for couples who really understand and value photography, and perhaps the biggest accolade is to be asked to photograph another photographers wedding, especially one with such an incredible portfolio from her illustrious career as a photographer in the RAF, with the honour of documenting life on The Queen’s helicopter, amongst other incredible projects.

So it was lovely to hear the following words from Amy today - “Seeing just the first previews, we’re already blown away. I’ve always felt more at home behind the camera than in front, but Robin made it effortless. His eye for light and storytelling is unreal, and as soon as I saw his work, I was in awe — I instantly knew I wanted him to capture our day. Funny enough, I stepped away from photography for firefighting, and he stepped away from firefighting for photography building an incredible career — it was meant to be! I feel so lucky he was the one behind the lens, and I can’t wait to see the rest”

Thankyou @, it means a lot!

The most incredible day for Hannah and Rob with their family and friends cosy wedding in Salcombe last week, and if there is a chance of a sunrise swim, count me in!

What a breathtaking location for a wedding celebration, and I loved how Hannah and Rob really focused on what was important for the day (they even made a week of it!) which is quality time spent with the nearest and dearest in the best place, with plenty of time for everyone to share together. I loved the elongated ceremony, where everyone passed the ring around and shared a personal message. A beautiful 3 course seafood meal overlooking the sea from the team at .restaurant, music for the first dance played and sung by family and friends, a quiz, and one incredible firework display to finish it off.

Weddings like this, I never want to leave.

Back to one of my absolute favourite places on earth last week, for Phoebe and Seb’s perfect wedding at New House Farm, and a wander around the shores of Buttermere - quite possibly the most beautiful lake in Britain, a rare treat on a wedding day. Not so much fun for their gorgeous Labrador Dexter however, who was denied the chance of a dip in the lake, for obvious reasons! He certainly was a huge part of this wedding, carrying the ring, and visiting all the guests and doing a lap of honour before eventually delivering them!

It was a real pleasure to finally shoot a wedding at a New House Farm, having cycled past it several times on the gruelling Fred Whitton Challenge, 70 miles in with 40 to go, and dreaming of having my feet up with a cold beer instead, soaking up that incredible view. It’s somewhere I’ll definitely be looking to return to fur sure!

Part two of Sophie and Marcus’s epic day at the Larmer Tree, with group photos that were true to them, personalized sharing desserts, an open mic show, and they chance to sign their names alongside some rather esteemed ones on the backstage wall of signatures on the Larmer Tree stage. One very action packed day which was non stop fun all the way!

Sophie and Marcus, part one- because a day as jam packed as this deserves two posts! From an early start running through the Dorset woods and fields in their pyjamas to meet the registrars for the “official bit”, a surprise Taylor Swift pop up guest choir in the ceremony, surrounded by peacocks and the stunning gardens of the Larmer Tree. An incredible day, and that was just the first half!

Documentary photography is all about planning and being in the right place, at the right time, based on experience and judgement of what you think might happen, then waiting for everything to fall in to place. A bride and groom’s entrance into the reception with all the guests waving napkins is filled with jeopardy as everyone stands and waves their arms (and napkins!) in the air, but with careful movement and framing then gaps appear, and as Sophie and Marcus entered their reception, the documentary gods smiled down on me and gave me a little window to frame them in.

There’s a bride in there, somewhere! I love the unpredictability of weddings, and how when you move from one stage to the next, you just have to make things work. Big dresses in small cars always presents a challenge, and always a little humour as it all has to fit in somehow. Aislinn and Gav on their way from the church to the reception, an incredibly scenic journey, not that they saw much of it!
