My Story

I was 5 years old when my story officially started with my forever parents adopting me. I grew up with them in a small town in the Midlands and ever since I started to “secretly” borrow my dad’s SLR film cameras to play with, I was hooked! My wife and I are childhood sweethearts - I used to sit behind her in class kicking her chair (it clearly made an impression). I was blessed with fantastic parents and teachers who always had faith in me and guided me in the right direction - which took me to Sheffield Hallam University where I received my BA Honours degree in Fine Art & Photography (film and digital). After a few years as a Designer & Photographer I photographed my first wedding in 2007, built up my business from there. I took that leap of faith and became a full-time photographer in 2013.

 

So here I am - genuinely loving what I do - it is such an honour to be capturing precious memories for so many people and sharing my passion as a full-time job.

A few more things about me

I live in Coventry

Beard, I have one!

My family - My wife/ soulmate Ali, my little dude Zach, Howie (dog) & Cali (cat)

My classic cars (too many) - 1984 Mini, 1963 VW Split Camper. I recently inherited my Dad's 1968 Austin Healey Sprite

Drone - I have a Mavic 2 Pro

I wear my watch on the “wrong” side - apparently!

I teach photography

I don’t drink tea or coffee - although love the smell 

Other hobbies - Mountain biking, Snowboarding, Sailing and anything to do with cars

Music - YES! You’ll never see me working without it

Charities close to my heart - Alzheimers Society & Adoption UK

If our son was born May the 4th he would have been called Obi...it was close

My perfect weekend - Campervannin' it up, with the family while the burgers sizzle on the BBQ come rain or shine

Tuesday is Daddy Day

Since my son was only a few months old, I've had him to myself every Tuesday and I wouldn't want it any other way.

I bring this up just to let you know that if you email me on a Tuesday, I most likely won't see it as I'll be creating and capturing memories of my own. In this day and age it's important not to have technology glued onto your hand and this is our family rule when we're 'out of office'.

Thank you so much for your patience if this occurs.

This is what a typical Tuesday involves...

Did I mention I like cars?

As you may have guessed, I'm a big car enthusiast so any opportunity I get to photograph cars - my ears perk up. For those that are interested here's a slideshow of a few recent shoots I've done.
