So, how did a Brit end up in Texas?
It started on a cruise ship. My wife and I met while working on board, and what followed was a long-distance relationship spanning the Atlantic. After we got married, I moved to San Antonio in 2006. These days, we’ve built a happy life here with our two daughters, two dogs, and a cat.
Photography’s been in my life for as long as I can remember. I picked up a camera as a teenager and was immediately hooked—first with sketchbooks and paint, then with film. I spent a lot of time in darkrooms back in the day, learning the craft by doing: developing film, printing by hand, chasing that perfect frame. That curiosity’s still with me today.
Outside of weddings, I continue to work in a documentary and observational way through personal projects, including street photography, still life, and long-form visual studies. This work reinforces the same instincts—patience, awareness, and timing—that guide my professional assignments.
My background is in photojournalism. In the UK, I worked as a news photographer, covered sports, managed a portrait studio, and traveled the world. I’ve always been drawn to real, unposed moments—images that carry weight because they’re honest.
That same documentary foundation extends beyond weddings into documentary and observational still photography for film, commercial, and branded productions. I’m available for production stills and behind-the-scenes photography, working quietly and with full awareness of live action, performance, and crew workflow.
Silent-shutter Leica M and SL systems allow me to work discreetly in sensitive, uninterrupted environments.
When I moved to the States, I initially photographed portfolios and headshots, but I was quickly drawn toward weddings—the emotion, energy, and unpredictability. Weddings are full of overlapping stories, and that’s what I love most: capturing people as they are, without directing or staging.
Each year, I photograph around 20–25 weddings across Texas, the U.S., and beyond. My approach is simple: be present, observe, and let moments unfold naturally. If that resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you.
