My interest in photography began with the processing of my first black and white film,twenty years ago.From that day to this world of instant access digital photography,I still love taking photographs and the enjoyment my images can bring to people is priceless.


A City and Guilds qualification from Rotherham College of Arts and Technology,which resulted in a Licentiateship with the Royal Photographic Society, set me on my way to regular freelance work with local newspapers.This was a great experience,which enabled me to
meet and photograph personalities from the worlds of sport and politics,including Sir Geoff Hurst,Nobby Stiles,Tommy Docherty,Dickie Bird,
David Blunkett and the current shadow secretary of state for energy and climate change,Caroline Flint.My photographs then started to appear nationally when used by sports and advertising agencies.

Calling on my experiences in a wide range of photography,I am able to offer a full range of photography services,including weddings,public relations,news,sport and photo restoration.As a wedding photographer,I have developed an informal and friendly approach to help couples feel stress free throughout the day.Through planning and preparation,I make things run as smoothly as possible.Please take a look at my Testimonies page,where couples have left feedback from their weddings.Information on prices and options available can be found on the Wedding Prices page.

I am also available to provide public relations,events and sports photography,using my services to promote your company or organisation.Images can supplied via FTP,disc,memory stick,or in high quality free standing mounts.

If you would like further information on the photography services I can offer,or if you have a specific request,I would be delighted to hear from you.Please use the Contact form on the website,or telephone me directly on:
