Sussex is in my blood. From the people, to the variety of landscapes and the seasonal activities, this county offers so much. In my late teens I would hop onto scooter and take the coastal road down to Eastbourne or head up onto the Ashdown Forest. Now I jump into my car and add to these routes with adventures to Rye, Alfriston (pictured) and the South Downs Way. Find out more here

Fun fact, I can not ride! I have been on board a few horses but much prefer seeing others enjoy these amazing animals. I have been photographing horses for eleven years now and love getting to know their individual characters, especially the foals! For many years I was the Official Event Photographer for the Southdown Hunt East Club and enjoyed documenting everyone competing regularly.

Every season is special. The rural ways of life are deeply influences by the changing seasons and I enjoy getting outside all year around. From shooting and hunting in the Winter, to point to point racing in the spring, polo and show jumping in the Summer and village pubs and country walks all year around, there is a community and way of life to be enjoyed and documented with my camera. If the weather is good and I have some free time, you will normally outside exploring! Find out more here

Music is always playing in my office. I have a huge record collection of LP’s and 45’s which are constantly going onto my turntable while I edit photographs. This passion for a really wide and varied selection of tracks comes from growing up to all sorts of music being played in the family home. I have written my own ‘Tracks of My Years’ which you can read about here.

My first ever wedding photography job was my Aunty’s wedding! I was 17 years old and was absolutely terrified, but I got the bug for weddings on that day. Being able to provide a couple with photos that allow them to relive the best day of their life is such a privilege. People often ask how I deal with the stress… well when I have such fun and produce unique pictures that are going to be treasure, I really don’t feel it! Find out more here.

Giving back is everything. I am privileged to be my own boss and to meet so many amazing people through my work. As such I hear inspirational stories regularly and I want to help where I can. With my contacts, I have held four charity barn dances raising over £3500 and am holding a ‘Bingo & Bubbly’ event this September. I also work closely with The Emile Faurie Foundation.

In 2016 and 2017 I was honoured to be the Official Press Photographer at Hickstead Horse Shows. This entailed documenting some of the best international show jumping in the country, the incredible Showing, the atmosphere and the grandeur that is Hickstead. This venture began back when I was 19 and you can read the story here, and can see my 2016 work here.

On 25th March 2016 I was delighted to be awarded a ‘Licentiateship in Wedding Photography’ with the Society of Wedding & Portrait Photographers. It is great to know they feel my photography is worthy, although I am keen to continue to grow my creative skills and overall production quality to please my couples while also reaching higher grades within the SWPP.
