So, it’s that time again – a look back at the best wedding moments from 2024!

Before we get into it, I owe you a huge apology. It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged…there are numerous professional and personal reasons why blogging just hasn’t happened recently, and I won’t bore you with all the details now…but I thought it was time I rectified the situation once and for all.

Also, if you click on the Featured Weddings link in the main nav, you’ll see a number of weddings there from the past couple of years…there are still a few that need to be added, so keep an eye out for those as well.

My last piece of news is that I’m now based in Essex, so this website will be undergoing a major overhaul in the New Year. Once again, watch this space…

So without further ado, here are the best moments from the past 12 months. I’d like to thank all my couples for being abso-flipping-lutely amazing, and for making the past year one of the best of my career. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Also, I have to thank the usual suspects and amazing photographers who’ve helped me out and supported me this year…and I’m very happy to say that all have become wonderful friends. So I’d like to thank Sian at Sian Cook Photography, Lindsey at LNZ Photo & Film, Terry at Lily & White Photography, Matt at Black Rock Films, Rich at Carlton Films, Grae at Eyes Closed, Head First Photography and Martin at Martin Beale Photography. I love you all and I’m not entirely sure what I’ve have done this year without your expertise and support.

I know I’m a bit late to the party (it’s halfway through January already, where’s the time going?!!), but I thought I’d put together some of my favourite photos from 2022.

So, what did 2022 bring? I’ll be honest with you – it was one of the most challenging years of my life.

I won’t go into details, but my personal life was extremely up and down – what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, eh?! However, from a business perspective it was far and away the busiest and most enjoyable year of my wedding photography career.

I photographed over forty weddings, worked with some stupendous couples at some ridiculously gorgeous venues. captured thousands of wonderful moments, and worked with some amazingly talented suppliers.

I still pinch myself when I think back to when I first started out, and how I struggled during those first few years to book more than 10 weddings a year. Also, during the pandemic I was this close to jacking it all in, selling most of my kit and going to live in a monastery.

(Okay, the monastery bit isn’t true, but you get the gist).

Anyway, thank God I didn’t, because I wouldn’t have experienced and photographed over forty sensational weddings in the last year!

Speaking of which, here are some of the best photos from the last twelve months. Enjoy!

(Before I share them I really wanted to thank the following photographers and videographers who I worked with in 2022, because not only are they some of the most talented people I’ve ever worked with, but I’m extremely proud to class them all as friends as well).

So thank you Sian at Sian Cook Photography, Lindsey at LNZ Photo & Film, Terry at Lily & White Photography, Matt at Black Rock Films, Rich at Carlton Films and James at Eyes Closed, Head First Photography. You all rock so hard, it literally hurts.

I suspect 2021 will be a year that most people won’t forget in a hurry.

The ongoing saga of Covid, various lockdowns, the pervading question of “Will anyone ever get married ever again?!” and a general air of lingering uncertainty…before wedding season kicked off at a thousand miles an hour!

Even though 2021 was extremely challenging, I’m wary of complaining about a year where I was busier than I’ve ever been in my life. Not only did I photograph a year’s worth of weddings in around five months, I also took on a short-term contract job in the summer to bolster my business bank account.

Yep, 2021 was carnage. But ultimately in a good way!

So what about the weddings themselves? Well, they certainly didn’t disappoint! Some of the venues took my breath away, some of the speeches elicited tears of joy…and occasional sadness too.

Some weddings were huge grandiose affairs, and some weddings were small, intimate arrangements with just close friends and family in attendance.

However, all of them were remarkable in their own way, not just because of the reasons mentioned above, but because they all took place in a global pandemic.

Have some of that Covid!!
