Documentary Wedding Photographer covering Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey and beyond.
Hello. I'm Chris, a thirty-something documentary wedding photographer based near Reading, Berkshire.
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, 85/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.
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, Hybrid, Elbow, Angus and Julia Stone - all music gods. 9) I can't stand middle lane hoggers. 10) Life is short, embrace it, live it, and do things.
I drove down to Eastbourne on Friday evening ahead of Katie and Ashley’s beautiful Charleston Manor wedding. I started documenting the day in Nuts Hair Design where Katie and her bridesmaids began their prep. The sun eventually came out and promised a lovely warm summer’s day ahead. We then moved on to a hotel by...
A tin shack isn’t a typical church you’d normally find in England but this cosy church in Surrey was the venue for the beautiful wedding of Shona and Ed. Shona is originally from New Zealand so they chose it because it is reminiscent of the churches found there. I first went over to Shona’s house...
I went to meet Shona and Ed for my first pre-wedding shoot of 2010 today. It was a cold, crisp winter’s day in Surrey at just 3c, cold enough that the lake by the church was partially frozen. Shona and Ed are great fun, easy to work with and were very relaxed in front of...
