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.
Just got back from a woodland walk with two lovely families, the Salter and Crome families. I had the pleasure of photographing the Salters last autumn in ‘Woodland Adventure’. The weather was perfect and the bluebells were out in their masses. It was beautiful. The girls and boys all had great fun running around the...
My secret mission last week got featured in the May edition of the Watermill Theatre’s e-newsletter!! Here is the snippet from the newsletter: Click here for the full set.
I arrived to begin the day with Kate and her family on Sunday morning to find a house of complete and utter calm. So calm was it from the outside that I had to double-check my address details. The bride-to-be was just getting started with her prep and as time went on the house began...
I was on a secret mission tonight, so secret that I wore a dark leather jacket and a black hat… I looked like a PI! Hidden behind a bush, I waited for Erwan and Sarina to emerge from the Watermill Theatre in Newbury during the interval. Unbeknownst to Sarina, a table with champagne chilling was...
