International Awards
Striving for the best at every wedding I shoot, International wedding photography competitions are always a real joy to win. Its tough competition with few awards handed out from 1000s of entries from all over the world. While awards are a source of pride, my primary focus always remains on the couples I have the pleasure of working with. It's about capturing their stories authentically, translating emotions into timeless moments. The real reward lies in the trust my couples show allowing me to capture their day in a creative and artistic way.
FEARLESS AWARD
3rd Fearless award of 2023… I loved capturing this moment when the bride and grooms son was playing hide and seek and loving it. He appeared from under some seats laughing his head off… Perfect moment and a real pleasure to capture.

I always love capturing special moments at weddings and this image taken at South Causey Inn just outside of Newcastle was recognised as one of the best wedding moments images of 2019. I love how the frame captures the stillness and anticipation before the dress is about to go on. The final touches of the hair and the clock in the background with the time approaching.
