What did everyone do with their extra hour of evening daylight? . . All the photographers in the northern hemisphere no doubt are doing a little dance as there are even more hours of light each day for our cameras to play with 📷 . . #bst #summertime #daylightrocks #photographersdelight #paintingwithlight

An amazing local beach wedding for my first of the year. Here are some sneak previews of the gorgeous Minnie and her lovely husband Sean from their wedding at Southend Barn at the beginning of March. Such an incredible team of suppliers helped make their wedding day perfect. We even took some time out at the beach to take their beach portraits. A kitesurfing couple after my own heart even had a surfboard table plan. Lots of love and inspiration xxx . .

The best view comes after the hardest climb 🏔 . . . I’m flying back home today from my first two mountain adventures of 2019. My first trip was visiting the highlands in Scotland where I had the privilege of finding and photographing wild mountain hares. And the last few days I have learnt a new skill - splitboarding - in the Bavarian and Austrian alps with my lovely friend @anna_h_b who patiently waited for me and my seaside lungs to catch up with her well trained mountain legs 🧗🏻‍♀️ . . . 2019 is a year of mountains for me. Physically and metaphorically. Just got to remember to take big breathes and take lots of photos on the journey to the summit 🙌🏻💕 #themountainsarecalling #andimustgo #mountainlife #quotestoliveby
Mike & Naritsa 💕 . . I’ve had quite a few weeks with no weddings to work on however my books have been full with photographing interiors, product photography, and creating brand lifestyle for some new and previous clients. I love the variety and pace of my work and have no idea what I would do otherwise. It’s often hard to show my social media followers the variety and extent of my work. So I base my social media posts on the most likes and engagement from YOU. If there’s something more you’d love to see then let me know. Ps. I have have a pretty large library of sports photography background for example which you might not know.. . . . #westsussexphotographer #chichesterphotographer #westwitteringphotographer
Another favourite image from Mike & Naritsa’s Wedding . . I always have a scout around at venues to find the best locations and backgrounds on the day for the bride & groom portrait sessions. It’s really important to work out how and where the light will be falling on certain spaces. Sometimes it can be easy to try recreate images you might have seen online from the wedding venue brochure/website. However this approach cannot be trusted as the light intensity and direction varies so much through the day and from season to season. Saying that though, still share your Pinterest/mood boards with me as they are a great way to interpret the style imagery you’re looking for . . . Trust in your photographer with regards to light. I mean, photography does mean ‘painting with light’ after all 📷🖤🌞 . . . . #westsussexweddingphotographer #chichesterweddings #novemberwedding
Lots of talk about unusual weather this month and it reminded of me of Mike & Naritsa’s late November wedding. Their wedding day was unseasonably warm and the orange autumnal leaves 🍁 had yet to be blown away. I love this photo of mike walking his new bride through the Bishop Place gardens at Chichester Cathedral . . . . . #westsussexphotographer #chichesterweddingphotographer #brideandgroomphotos
