Hastings Pier

I've now started work on the pier photographs for Hastings Pier Charity. One of the my projects is a series of pictures that will eventually form a time lapse sequence of the reconstruction. 

This involves visiting the pier once a week for the next 18 months come rain or shine.  

This image, taken today, is the first time I haven't been shot blasted with seawater coming horizontally at me !

Hastings Pier

I've just been chosen to be one of the official photographers documenting the rebuilding of Hastings Pier.  It's a cause close to my heart so I am very excited at the prospect of spending the next 18 months photographing the renovations. I will post some progress pictures once work gets underway but in the meantime if you are interested in the project have a look at the pier website here:

Spring arrives in the Brecon Beacons

I had to travel to Wales for a shoot last weekend, the sun was shining and the sheep were...........

making such a noise I couldn't sleep ! Probably my fault for choosing to staying on a farm.

Laura & Richard had the perfect weather for their big day much to everyone's surprise, the sun shone and the guests could enjoy themselves outside, probably for the first time this year, giving a lovely buzz to the celebrations and Laura had no need for the antique cream fur stole she had bought from Portobello Market for the occasion.

Sarah & Gareth

I had a fabulous time on Saturday photographing Sarah & Gareth's wedding in Cobham and the The Wentworth Club at Virginia Water.

I'd photographed the wedding of Sarah's sister Charlotte in 2008 so it was lovely to meet up with the family again.  It's always nice to be invited back as it means you must have done an okay job the first time !  My record is four weddings from one family.

The sun shone as an added bonus and Sarah looked ravishing !

My wedding of 2012
