Stockholm at dawn

August 31, 2014

During my visit to Sweden last week, we decided to take a night train to get from Malmö (in the Southern region of Skåne) to Stockholm. This would have been a great idea, had it not been for the screaming baby and group of middle-aged Swedes who deemed talking at the top of their voices perfectly acceptable, whatever the time.

View of Stockholm from the stadshuset, or town hall

It did mean we arrived in the capital just before 6.30, just after the sun had risen. And for those of you who haven't been, Stockholm is a beautiful city whose centre is largely built on islands.

A study in mirrors

December 18, 2013

Two photographs of Jess from her wedding in Somerset last Saturday. The hotel, Maunsel House, where she got ready was full of eccentric and beautiful items, and I just had to make the most of this mirror!

On a side note, this post is being uploaded from Lima, Peru! I'm on Christmas holiday here - enjoying the hot weather as I go through these wedding photographs. It's pretty nice ;) I'll post a full feature sometime in the coming weeks.

Nathan & Jess pre-wedding shoot

November 26, 2013

This is Jess and Nathan - I met them on Sunday for a chat and a quick pre-wedding shoot in Oxford. Next time I'll see them, in under three weeks, they will be at the heart of what sounds like a truly Christmassy wedding... I honestly can't wait!

Working with Handicap International

October 3, 2013

Last Saturday was a big day for Handicap International France - it was their 19th Pyramide des Chaussures ("shoe pyramid" - to be taken literally!) and I was asked by one of the organisers, who happens to be a very close friend of mine, to be one of their official photographers.

It was an absolutely brilliant day. It was great to see so many volunteers giving their time for charity, and fighting for such a just cause. The aim of the day was to get more signatures for Handicap International's petition against cluster bombs and land mines.

There were some brilliant artists there, a HUGE pyramid of shoes I got to climb (any of you who know me or have seen my wedding photography know how much I love shoes... it was brilliant!), and various workshops to teach passers by more about cluster bombs and land mines.

These are some of the photographic highlights of the day - but if you've read this far, go a bit further, and go and sign that petition. It's really worth your five minutes - you can do that here: http://act.handicap-international.org.uk/petition/1/
