Hello. I'm Chris, a documentary wedding photographer based in Basingstoke, Hampshire. I'm in my mid thirties and happily married to my beautiful wife, Keily.
My passion is wedding photography. I love capturing the preparations, the anticipation, the sheer emotion of the ceremony, the first kiss, the laughter of the speeches and the beautiful first dance.
I've loved photography since I was a child. Back then I had a Kodak Retinette IB which I still have although it stopped working years ago. I bought my first film SLR back in 2001 and today I use Nikon D700 bodies with Nikkor 24-70/f2.8, 50/f1.4 and 70-200/f2.8 professional lenses. I also love travel photography and I've had the privilege to see some amazing parts of the world... Australia, Thailand, India and Africa to name a few.
I'm a movie and music lover, both of which seem to go hand in hand with a nice glass of wine. I love good food, my favourite of which has to be either Thai or Mexican. Bands that rock: Elbow, Coldplay and Snow Patrol.
Ten things... 1) I love walks in the country. 2) Chocolate is A Good Thing (TM). 3) Music needs to be heard and ideally felt. 4) I'm a little OCD at times. 5) Jack Bauer never goes to the toilet or charges his mobile. 6) David Palmer needs to be president for real. 7) Tom Yam Goong is amazing, if I had to choose only one thing to eat from now on, that would be it. 8) BT is my favourite musician. 9) I can't stand middle lane hoggers. 10) Life is short, embrace it, live it, and do things.
I took a trip to San Francisco back in 2008 on business. It was a two week stay and during the middle weekend, I decided to hire a bike and go cycling with my camera. I had no idea where I was going, I just knew that I wanted to see the Golden Gate bridge, [...]
A holiday of the lifetime – a month overlanding in Africa. It was quite simply, incredible. Here are a few of the best shots from the trip…
A two week trip to Thailand, my first outing with the Fuji S2 Pro in earnest. It was quite nerve wracking carrying £1600 of camera body around with me but my nerves soon settled. Here are the best from the trip…
I went to India with a friend for another friend’s wedding. While we were there, we took in the sights from the Taj Mahal, through Delhi and Agra Fort. Still shooting film at the moment as I’m just getting used to my new S2. Plus, India is quite… tricky to travel in for white westerners…
I was away for three months, my first time properly away from home. I travelled on my own, my aim to meet new people and see life in a new way. I flew directly to Sydney where I spent a couple of weeks chilling on the beach before beginning the 6 week journey up the [...]
