YOUR FRIENDLY PHOTOGRAPHER AND YORKSHIREMAN
The Story So Far
Where it all began
When I was younger I wanted to be a footballer, a cricket player, or an astronomer. I finally decided that what I really wanted was to be an actor. Cue years of “you have to get a proper job”. Groan.
The next step of the journey
I spent 3 years at Birmingham School of Acting, then ventured off to London to make my professional acting debut. I worked in the industry for 6 years as an actor, singer, and musician.
What I did next
I’d started experimenting with photography whilst I was still at drama school. The truth? I got bored during the summer break and wanted a project to keep the brain cells working.
Cut to the start of the new term, and I suddenly found myself taking photos of live theatre, and actor headshots. I continued to do this alongside my work in the arts.
In 2019 a couple of friends asked me to photograph their wedding – and here we are 5 years later, I’ve never looked back.
Away from the camera
Away from the camera, you’ll often find me reading a good book, perhaps with the occasional glass of Rioja/Malbec in hand. I’m still big into music, and play the saxophone when time allows… I know, I know, I need to practice more.
I’m a big dog lover (my little man, Oslo, is below in the slides) adore woodland and country walks, and have a soft spot for Yorkshire Parkin and anything Greek.
Where I’m going
Myself, and my other half, Lizzy are now planning our own wedding. So that’s taking a lot of planning (and saving for)
In the next couple of years, I’d like to start offering workshops to help other photographers improve their skills and navigate the wedding industry
WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO
Who wouldn’t relish the opportunity to be a perpetual wedding guest? But on a more profound note, it’s about cherishing memories. Your wedding day stands among the most significant moments in your lives, and recognizing the privilege of preserving those memories is something I hold in high regard.
