I am a photojournalist working on the French Riviera for publications such as The New York Times, TIME, Centurion magazine (AmEx) and the FT's Wealth magazine. Alongside my editorial work, I photograph a select number of weddings every year for couples who wish to have a genuine photojournalistic reportage of their wedding day.

I take the same approach to wedding photography that I do to a magazine assignment: I document people and their stories. That's what I do and I love doing it.

I work unobtrusively throughout the day to quietly capture what is happening, from the préparatif right up to the evening energy of the dance floor. My role is to create a beautiful story with images that are rich, spontaneous and alive. It is a privilege to photograph the intense emotions and moments that will mean so much to the couple and their families for years to come.

Before moving to Provence in 2006, I was based in South / Central Asia, where I documented stories of tsunami survivors for the International Save the Children Alliance. I won the Press & Documentary category of Professional Photographer of the Year award (Professional Photographer Magazine, UK, 2007). I am an award-winning member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA, USA, 2010).
