Holly and Mark decided that they didn't want any formalities and they preferred me to shoot in my natural and discreet style throughout their day, which is how I love to work. For me, the day flowed brilliantly and I managed to get very absorbed into the story of Mark and Holly's wedding.

Holly got ready at Chateau La Chaire, the ceremony took place at St Martin's Catholic Church and then their reception was held at La Mare Wine Estate. Despite the persistent rain it was a great day and I enjoyed being a part of the fun and excitement.

I hope you enjoy viewing some of my favourite images from their wedding.

As a trained documentary wedding photographer, I am always looking for photos that can communicate a powerful story - images of people which can prompt them of their feelings and emotion that they felt on that day. At Yinka and Toyosi's wedding there was a lot of action and with 180 guests all up for a party I was able to blend in naturally, be hidden within the crowd and capture some great images of the atmosphere and the people, most importantly the bride and groom.

Here are a collection of my favourite images from Yinka and Toyosi's wedding at St Mark's Church and The Royal Yacht Hotel.

This was my third trip to Italy, it is one of my favourite countries of the world. I just love the culture, beautiful architecture, charming villages and the superior food and wine! Italy is very photogenic and I'm looking forward to shooting my first wedding over in Tuscany during 2014. Here are a few of my favourite landscape images from the trip. I've been shooting lots of weddings and commercial projects over the past few months, I'll be posting some of these on my blog soon..

Here are some of my favourite images from Clare and Will's exciting wedding day. My style of wedding photography is documentary, natural and informal. I don't dictate proceedings, I simply allow the day to progress naturally. My discreet presence allows me to capture real moments without people looking at the camera. I then provide you with a set of authentic images that will tell the true story of your wedding day from beginning to end.

The ceremony took place inside the chapel at the top of the castle which is a fabulous historic venue. The main reception then took place at a private house with beautiful floral decoration and candle lighting in the evening which created a great ambience.

Nathan is a Jersey based triathlete who is training for the Commonwealth Games trials. He is very passionate and dedicated about his sport and here are a few words from him about his future goals - “I have been a triathlete for nearly ten years, competing in some amazing places around the world.  It is a sport that requires dedication, but the satisfaction of doing well in a race, or even just enjoying the outdoors and meeting great people, always makes the sacrifice worthwhile.  Over the course of the next two years my training will be taking on a new dimension, as I aim to qualify for and hopefully compete in the Commonwealth Games for Jersey.  Having the Olympics in London and with British athletes at the highest level has been inspiring and makes me look forward to my future!” If you are interested in my natural, documentary portrait images and feel it would suit you or your business, please send me a message by going to my contact page.

This album has been produced with a stunning contemporary gloss cover in white. I'm really excited about it! The gloss pages show off my clients wedding images fantastically well with plenty of contrast and vibrancy in the printing. This album has a clean, minimal design and looks very elegant. I will be showing this album at the next Jersey bridal path wedding fayre on the 30th September 2012. If you have any questions about this album, please send me a message. Thanks Andy

They wanted clean, simple portraits that were relaxed and which showed off each individual's personality. They wanted to make sure that they didn't look too corporate in style. I shot the images using soft lenses with an aperture of f1.2 to help drive the viewers attention to the subjects eye contact. The use of daylight balanced cold lights helped me to get the natural look and feel that I was asked for in a controlled studio environment. These images will enhance the company's profile by making their contemporary business portraits identifiable with their business. If you are interested in my commercial photography for your business, please check out my commercial portfolio and feel free to contact me if you would like to enquire about similar photography for your own company. Many thanks Andy  

Paula and Jonny got married privately in the morning and then held their wedding blessing on Ouaisne beach. Luckily the weather held and it was a beautiful day which meant I was able to capture some idylic beach themed images. The evening reception was held a few steps away at the Beach House which was the perfect place for everyone to follow onto as the venue has fantastic panoramic views across the beach. Paula and Jonny are a very relaxed couple and I really enjoyed documenting their wedding in such a chilled environment. I hope you enjoy viewing some of my favourite images from their day. Andy

Here is an example of an album design for Belinda and Henry's recent wedding. The layout shows a double page spread. I select the best images and set them out in a way that will enrich the story of your wedding day. You will see that some images are full page to give maximum impact, others are set out in a series. This design will be printed within a 14" x 11" inch contemporary album and it will be available for viewing within the next five weeks. Andy

Their wedding was filled with lots of laughter, tears and emotion. The ceremony was held at St Brelade's church which was an emotional and beautiful occasion - the tears didn't stop throughout the whole service. The reception was then held up at La Mare Wine Estate which was a fabulous setting amongst the grape vines. The day concluded with some entertaining action on the dance floor led by a live samba band. It was at this stage that I produced my favourite shot from the day - Henry picking up Belinda in his arms. You can see the overwhelming happiness in Belinda's face as she is spun around. They make a great couple and it was a special day for everyone involved to see them get married. I wish my great friends a very happy life together! I am looking forward to lots more weddings this year, please keep in touch on my blog or 'like' my facebook page to view more of my forthcoming work. Thanks Andy  

Their wedding was held at the Martinhal beach resort near a quiet town in the Algarve called Sagres. The ceremony was staged outdoors which was wonderfully summery in the idyllic mid-twenties heat, blue skies and beach views. However it did create quite a challenge to avoid too many pictures of people squinting in the bright sunlight. The whole day was very relaxed and it felt like a holiday for everyone, which I'm sure is how Lucy and Ady wanted it to be. I hope you like viewing some of my favourite images from their day. Please feel free to make comment on which image you like the most - I would love to hear your views. Thank you to Lucy and Ady for asking me to shoot your wedding. It was great to meet all of your friends and family and to document your special day. Aside from the full day shoot, I also managed to relax for a few days on the pristine beaches in the area, which was a bonus as I had never been to Portugal before! I am looking forward to a lot more weddings this year and I will be posting them on this blog, so please keep in touch if you would like to view more destination weddings and weddings in Jersey. Thanks Andy

For the past year I have been wanting to get in the water to capture unique landscape and surf images from the sea. The landscape shot shown above was taken last week without a waterproof housing but it was this shot that really inspired me to buy one. I have been surfing in Jersey for the past 7 years and on many occasions I have spotted the most incredible scenes out in the water - backlit waves, silhouettes of surfers, reflecting colours etc. Hopefully now I will be able to capture this and bring back some rare shots of Jersey's beautiful shoreline. I can't wait to test it out! I have a couple of trips to Europe this month, which will be a good opportunity to give it a trial run in the warmer water. You can keep in touch on my blog and facebook page if you are interested in following my new work. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to post these below. Thanks Andy

The superior bungalow is surrounded by wildlife on the edge of St Ouen's pond, the area is truly stunning. Also the beach is only 50 metres away - my dream house! I was asked by the developer to produce a series of images which capture the house in context with it's beautiful surroundings and to show off the spacious contemporary living areas. The property is now up for sale through Savills Estate Agents. If you are interested in my architectural photography for your property or business, please contact me. Thanks Andy

All of my work is printed in the UK and I work with experienced lab technicians to get the best quality and vibrancy out of my landscape images. High gloss prints are carefully packaged and then shipped over to me. I then fit a back plate on the reverse of the picture and secure hanging brackets to complete the job. The lengthy process by the lab and myself is all done by hand but the outcome is a stunning product that I am very proud of.

It was a pleasure to work with Elle; she has an amazing eye for detail and great precision in her work. It was a bonus being able to eat some of the products afterwards too, especially the Italian cheese board! Here are a few images from the shoot.

I enjoyed a few days off over Christmas to relax and unwind. Susan (my wife) and I also visited some of our friends in Munich, Germany. Here are a few shots of us having fun on the slopes in Tegernsee after a few glasses of gluhwein and a plate of sauages! Thanks to Sebastian for the shot of me and Susan. I hope you all have a great start to 2012. Andy

My studio equipment is fully mobile and only a small space is needed to create this style of work. A simple one light set up can be very effective as you can see from these images. If you are interested in portraits for your business, please feel free to contact me. Andy
