Wedding at The Blazing Donkey, Ham


I had the pleasure of photographing Amy and Matt's wedding at The Blazing Donkey in Ham, near Sandwich (makes me chuckle every time!) It was another incredibly sunny day but, fortunately, some shady spots were forthcoming. Their wedding gallery will be appearing shortly.

Merton College JCR, Oxford 1989


I photographed Lynette and Simon yesterday in Broadstairs. As soon as I saw them, my brain was telling me that I'd met them before. We had a chat about what we'd been doing recently but were unable to find a connection. As I was processing their images in the afternoon, however, I had a flash of inspiration. I had a rummage in the attic and found the following antiquity.


A photo of Merton College JCR (Junior Common Room) taken in Oxford in the summer of 1989. Circled in red at the back is Simon's twin brother Mark, and then myself (sporting some sort of 'hair helmet'), with Lynette at the front.

As they say, it's a small world!

I had the pleasure of photographing Lynette, Simon, Abigail and Caroline yesterday in Broadstairs. They were very understanding as I rearranged their furniture to place them in the best light!

I was just in the right spot to capture an amusing sequence of this lady pulling a face at some other guests. She looked rather sheepish when she spotted me just after this!
