2024 was another fantastic year for my business, packed with exciting milestones and plenty of moving parts! The year kicked off in January with a magical winter pre-wedding shoot in London with Catherine and Jamie. February provided a well-deserved breather before wedding season began in full swing in March, starting with a memorable trip to Somerset for Lauren and Andy’s beautiful wedding.
March also marked a significant personal milestone as I officially transitioned out of my Army career after an incredible 23 years of service. My last physical day in uniform was followed by a three-month resettlement period—a big shift, but an exciting new chapter.
In June, just before my final day in service in July, I had the privilege of being dined out by the Warrant Officers and Sergeants Mess, an experience that was both humbling and deeply meaningful. It was an honor to celebrate alongside some of the most influential people I’ve had the pleasure of working with throughout my career. Truly, a year to remember!
This was all around another busy wedding season which saw me travel throughout the country including Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Hampshire, Somerset, Berkshire, Wiltshire, The Isle of Wight and London.
In September, my family and I took the big leap and relocated from Wiltshire to the sunny coastal town of Eastbourne in East Sussex. Being back by the sea has been an absolute dream, and we couldn’t be happier since the move. That said, it was a whirlwind of a month—juggling three weddings alongside a three-day move made for some seriously hectic (and physically demanding!) days. But all the hard work was well worth it, and we’re loving our new chapter by the coast!
Getting to know every couple I worked with this year has been such an incredible experience, and each one has left me with unforgettable memories. Capturing the happiest day of their lives was an absolute joy! The genuine smiles and infectious laughter in those moments are constant reminders of why I’m so passionate about what I do.
This year had it all—relaxed bridal preparations, intimate ceremonies, joyful confetti showers, laid-back receptions, emotional speeches, and some truly unforgettable dance floor moves that had everyone on their feet. Being part of these special days was nothing short of amazing, and I couldn’t feel more grateful to have been there for it all.
Capturing weddings is truly an incredible experience, and I’m deeply grateful every time a couple trusts me with their big day. To all the amazing couples I had the honor of working with this year—thank you from the bottom of my heart! I hope your photos bring you endless joy and become cherished keepsakes for years to come.
It’s a privilege to preserve those special moments, and I feel so lucky to have been part of your journey. A massive shoutout to every one of you for allowing me to share in your love stories—you’re what makes this job so rewarding!
Shoutouts and thank you’s
First and foremost, a heartfelt thank you to my incredible wife, Catherine. She’s my rock—always supporting me through the highs and lows, especially during those countless late-night editing sessions. And to my two amazing kids, Aiden and Caitlin—you’re the reason for the huge smile on my face every time I walk through the door. You mean the world to me!
A special shoutout to my good friend Paul from Burton Media. We’ve teamed up for so many weddings this year, and every time, we’ve knocked it out of the park. You’re not just an amazing videographer but one of my closest friends in this industry—together, we’re definitely the #DreamTeam!
Lastly, a huge thank you to the fantastic second shooters I’ve had the pleasure of working with this year, Caroline and Simon. You were both absolutely brilliant, and I couldn’t have done it without you!
Here’s to an incredible 2025 wedding season ahead!
