A drizzly February day did nothing to dampen Hamley’s spirits as he had his first beach experience. I was lucky enough to be there to document it. Hamley the adorable labrador belongs to the Sia Family – Helen and David. Helen and David are very dear to me as they were my first Wedding Photography clients, so it was a particularly lovely occasion to be shooting them again. Especially as their parting news was that there will be a baby Sia arriving in September!

















Wow, what a year! 2013 has certainly proved to be a great one. The end of this year also marks my one year anniversary of launching my full time photography career and I thought it would be a great time to share with you some highlights from a brilliant year.
I’ve had the pleasure of photographing portraits of some wonderful people, namely Gregg Wallace and Dr Dannie Abse and headshots of some brilliant actors and talented business people. Alongside the more corporate side of my business I have had the honour of photographing weddings from as far a field as Italy, Cyprus, Ireland, Norfolk and the surrounding areas of London. Oh and briefly became a member of the Royal Press Team when His Royal Highness the Duke of York opened the Yammer EMEA HQ in Shoreditch! I’ve also shot lots of family and newborn portraits, which are a real joy to do.
A big thank you to all my clients of 2013 and hello to those of 2014 – I’m very much looking forward to working with you!

Oh and watch this space – I’m working on a new website!

Katie and Denys had a wonderfully relaxed wedding day. Their ceremony was at the pretty St Andrews at Lamas, Norfolk. The church sits back from the road on a beautiful piece of land with river and pasture views. Katie and Denys were then whisked away by the father of the bride in his Land Rover to Hautbois Hall, just up the road. Hautbois is new to weddings, but all I can say is, I hope I get to go back as it’s a stunning back-drop and brilliant wedding venue! Congratulations to Lester and Katie Bayfield the owners! A congrats also goes out to Cheryl Beeney, the Wedding Planner at Hautbois.
The weather began a little dubious, but the evening was lovely. We were joined by horses and a crocodile (!) as drinks were taken just outside the converted barn. A traditional hog roast was on the cards for the guests followed by an impressive spread of desserts and chased down with a few bottles of vodka, curtesy of Denys’ Russian family and friends! All in all a great day!
Allison and Sattu were married at the beautiful St. James, Southrepps, followed by a wedding reception at Mannington Hall Gardens. Highlights of the day were discovering that Allison had asked her seamstress to embroider Sattu’s name into the lace of her dress (stunning!) and the amazing band, The Yow Yows who wow wowed us into the night! Allison and Sattu had an English Fete theme for their guests to enjoy whilst they eagerly awaited the arrival of the Hog Roast. It was a very special day, with many of Sattu’s family flying over from India to be with them. Mannington Hall Gardens provided a quintessentially English backdrop for this pretty Norfolk wedding.
Emma & Darren’s wedding was by far the coldest wedding I have photographed! But everyone agreed that the Norfolk blizzard that enveloped the day did nothing to hamper celebrations and gave the day a truly magical feel. We began the day at Emma’s Mum’s house in Brooke, Norfolk, cosied up in the warm drinking tea and wondering whether the snow was going to settle! Emily from Love Moi Makeup joined us, and as usual did a wonderful job with both Emma and her Mum’s makeup. They both looked stunning!
I headed over to Brooke church, just after Emma slipped into her gorgeous wedding dress by Victoria Jane from La Belle Angelle in Norwich. Her bridesmaids complemented her perfectly in blue dresses from Coast. Their outfits were set of with delicate hair pieces from Glitzy Secrets.
The ceremony was lovely, Brooke church is beautiful, a typical Norfolk church filled with character. Snow was still falling when Emma and Darren came down the aisle and out to their awaiting retro blue VW Campervan. Tucked in under blankets and a glass of champagne in hand their made their way through the snowy Norfolk countryside to the impressive Southwood Hall.
A hearty meal of bangers and mash was exactly what was needed to warm our cockles and get us fuelled up for a night of celebrating! Speeches were emotional, the groom winning the prize for the most tears! But soon after everyone was on the dance floor once Emma and Darren had showed us how it was done with their first dance.
A wedding to remember! I had such a lovely time capturing Emma and Darren’s special day and I wish them all the happiness for their future together.
Flowers: Roses and Lisianthus – Timothy Green Flowers
Hair: Sarah Nelson and Katherine Ellis from Arcadia Hair (St Benedicts Street, Norwich)
Cake: Emma’s Aunt
Emma and Darren are getting married next month at the wonderful Southwood Hall. I made a trip to Norfolk to catch up with them and visit their venues – we took the chance to take some photos on their favourite beach, Winterton. It was a typical blustery January day, but the approaching stormy clouds made for a beautifully dramatic backdrop. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding next month – Southwood Hall is lovely venue – hopefully the weather will be a little calmer!
