I probably shouldn't be quite so pleased with myself for causing a traffic jam on the A1, but I just can't help it... ...we all had so much fun - including the lorry drivers!
It's not our fault; weddings at Sibson Inn are right next to the A1 so drivers slow down to take a look - particularly when you do what we were doing...
I knew this would be an awesome wedding to photograph from the moment I met Kristina. Ben wasn't at the initial chat, but Kristina booked me on the spot nonetheless.
Apparently this got her in a little bit of trouble when she got home, but Ben and Kristina have a rule...
...they each get to do one naughty thing each year which the other person can't shout at them for.
...Apparently I was Kristina's one!

Think Mad Max... ...in a church!
Say whaaaaat!!??

As one of the few photographers who offer trash the dress photos in Cambridgeshire (btw if you don’t want to trash it you can do a rock the frock session instead!), I’m always looking for new locations and creative ideas.
Although most of my trash the dress photos are created in Cambridgeshire I’ve been as far as The Peak District to use the beautiful waterfalls they have there.

I was really delighted that my friend Hazel Cottrell from Creative Content Company told me about the Soul Happy initiative in Cowgate, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.
One of the many things Kim Coley and her amazing team do at Soul Happy is arrange Pay it Forward events that help and inspire the local community. Last week we were doing some random acts of kindness like giving food to the homeless and giving out cakes, hugs and professional massages at Serpentine Green.

Having your wedding at Stoke Rochford Hall is like getting married in Downton Abbey. As you drive up the hill, flanked by lakes and a little water fall you periodically see Stoke Rochford Hall through the trees. Then, at the top of the hill you turn a corner and there it is below you - a sumptuously elegant wedding venue.

Today I ticked Romania off my ManKIND project. The ManKIND project is where I'm trying to do a random act of kindness for someone from every country on earth.
It was a cold and slushy February afternoon. The car wash was empty. After all, what idiot gets their car washed when the road is muddy with melted snow.
Me!
In fact, the whole reason I went to the car wash on a day like this was because I knew it would be quiet. I wanted it to be quiet so I had a few quick seconds to give the hard working guys there a box of Crispy Creme Doughnuts and grab a photo of them for my ManKIND project.

Steve King was (and sometimes still is) a singer in the world famous soul band The Drifters. He used to live right here in Hampton (why on earth did he leave the sun-kissed shores of Miami!?)
This is the second portfolio session I have done with Steve. He asked me to update his portfolio as he said everyone was copying the images I did for him last time so he needed to stay one step ahead.
