Today’s #adventweddingchallenge2025 theme is TEN Today’s #adventweddingchallenge2025 theme is TENDER. I think it’s supposed to be about emosh wedding moments but honestly my immediate reaction to the word tender is the “THAT’S LEGAL TENDER” joke from Michael McIntyre when we went to see him yonks ago. (Sorry if that’s offensive, he was big in comedy quite a while ago!) 

Then I got thinking about all the cool Scottish weddings I’ve shot- I’ve been flown to Scotland several times to shoot in various castles (always a castle!) and also shot weddings in London that incorporated their Scottish heritage either through bagpipes or ceilidh. One of the weddings had an amazing Highland Games set up for all the guests! 

I don’t commute that far for weddings anymore since having the kids but if you need a videographer up that way then check out @flat4dmedia who kindly brought me to Aberdeenshire for his wedding! Al won’t know this but the drive I took out of the airport was immediately through these gorgeous tall autumnal woods and it is a memory that stays with me even now. It’s partly why I fell in love with where we live now. We have a local woodland and I regularly drive through a part that has the same windy road through tall trees. I remember in Aberdeen at Al and Kelly’s wedding I was thinking to myself “wow one day I hope to live somewhere with beauty like this”. And now I do. Whenever I drive through the woods and the light is streaming through the tall trees I feel that same sense of wonder and joyful peace. 

So anyway… that’s how my silly brain has formed a post themed around tender!

Day 3 of the #adventweddingchallenge2025 is “NOT Day 3 of the #adventweddingchallenge2025 is “NOT A WEDDING”. So I’m going to share the fun story of how I came to shoot for Secret Cinema for many years!

The first set of slides are from their first ever show I photographed, and I got the job by being a rude af keyboard warrior lol they had put some photos out from the production and I posted underneath “you’re missing a trick by not shooting it in Wes Anderson’s style”. I’d long been a big fan of Wes and at the time it inspired a lot of the style I shoot in. Even to this day I’m really into that landscape and symmetry and patterns etc. I then had the marketing team email me to say “well come and ave a go if you think you’re hard enough”. Figuratively not literally. And I did! Obviously now as a professional photographer I cringe at my own disrespect but I was young and a keen fan and I said yes to everything. Being bolshy is also how I came to shoot Bestival and the likes of Stevie Wonder for Lomography. All from asking and saying yes to things! 

And that was the start of an amazing period of my life shooting for a super fun company and getting to see the workings and behind the scenes of one of most hot tickets in town. I’ll forever be grateful that Alice took a punt on me and kept inviting me back to shoot. It’s one of my fondest photography career memories and I hope one day after my kids are a bit more grown up, that I’ll be able to return to shooting theatre and live music! 

Can you name the three other films I’ve shown after The Grand Budapest?
It’s day 2 of the #adventweddingchallenge2025 an It’s day 2 of the #adventweddingchallenge2025 and today’s theme is dance! That’s an easy one for me as I went to the most EPIC dancefloor in Essex of the aptly named @thechiefpartystarter and @olliewyattmusic fueled by the great @jamhotshowband in @suffolkmarquees 

The bride wore a @nadinemerabibridal  jumpsuit that was PARTY READY! Also special mention to @artisanproductionsav who put on a brilliant light show- although I use my own lights to balance things, professional lighting makes all the difference!

My aim with shooting dance floors is to try and make shapes in the chaos catch both the hilarious moments but style it with artistic structure! It’s a real challenge sometimes espc when it’s wild but part of my signature documentary style approach and it’s insanely fun to capture

It’s day one of the #adventweddingchallenge2025 It’s day one of the #adventweddingchallenge2025 and I am very late to the party! The first theme was “brand values”. I pondered for a long time and decided to choose one word to sum up the core of what drives the way I do wedding photography. 

That word is humanity. 
Humanity is defined in several ways: Firstly it can refer to an interest in humans and the quality of being human. I feel this has always been at the heart of what I capture. I’m always looking for those interactions between people, small moments, a hint of a back story. As an ex psychologist I’m so genuinely interested in people in all forms and expressions. 

But humanity can also mean kindness and another thing I’ve always done is try to run my business less like a business and more of an exchange between people. I want to show up for people who treat me like a person and I endeavour to give that same respect and informal warmth back. 

Check out the carousel for more details and tune back in for tomorrow’s theme!
