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.
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of assisting Rosie Parsons Photography documenting the beautiful Great Fosters wedding of Eve and Paul. You might remember her name as she was the brains behind the Photography Parlour Shootout earlier this year. It was quite a chilly November day but we were blessed with beautiful, dry...
This weekend I was offered the opportunity to shoot alongside the amazingly talented Rob Burress aka ShootingHip at the beautiful Hampshire wedding of Nicola and Mark. Needless to say I jumped at the chance. We started the day with the bridal party to capture the pre-wedding preparation and excitement. The house overlooked Portsmouth Cathedral, making...
