I’ve been fortunate enough to work at a broad range of events in my career as a photographer, both inside and outside of Essex.
As a young photographer, I took photos at friends’ birthday parties in Leigh-on-Sea, family events, and even the odd pet. As that passion turned into a career, my love of music led me to local venues around Essex: the Sugar Hut in Brentwood, where I was resident photographer for quite a few years, Talk in Southend-on-Sea, and Dukes in Chelmsford, to name a few. That then led on to bookings in London for clubs and larger venues including the O2, Koko, Marlborough House, and Fabric, and then even further afield for festivals and overseas events in amazing venues in places like Ibiza, Belgium and Venice. Along the way, brands such as Dune, McVitie’s, and Dynamo the Magician have used my images in their marketing.
As you can imagine, the family and friends photography never really stopped in the background. Word of mouth led me to capture friends’ and friends of friends’ weddings, family events, and wedding receptions, plus 21st and 30th (and 40th!) birthday parties at venues like The Lawn in Rochford, The Roslin Hotel in Thorpe Bay, Colchester Town Hall and Colchester Castle, Chelmsford Racecourse, The Cliffs Pavilion, and Hylands Park, I’ve even captured hen parties in places like Rayleigh.
Currently, I have a blend of all three event types in my life, with a few more baby and toddler birthdays thrown into the mix since the appearance of my little boy, Charlie.
