// Over the past six years, I’ve somehow found myself photographing events at the London Library—one of those places that feels like a quiet cornerstone of history.
Every few months, they call me up, and some extraordinary gathering is taking place. One day it might be Tim Rice inviting members of the Shadows to a summer gala, another it might be Johnny Flynn and his band rattling the bookshelves with folk music. I’ve photographed people I’ve long admired: Stephen Fry, whose voice once signaled the wind-down of my evenings, or Helena Bonham Carter, the ultimate style icon.

Each time, it hits me: I’m standing in a room where history has already happened and is, in some small way, happening again. The London Library has been home to writers like T. S. Eliot, Charles Dickens, and Virginia Woolf—people whose words shaped the world. And here I am, camera in hand, documenting new chapters in that same space.

This week, though, was something else.

I photographed the Queen.

Her Majesty, Queen Camilla, visited the library, and I had the honor of capturing the moment. Photographing a royal visit isn’t something I ever expected to do, but there I was, making sure the light was right, the timing was right, the weight of the occasion balanced with the need to keep things moving.
Weddings, gala evenings, book launches, a Queen—it’s all the same in a way. People coming together, moments being made, something worth remembering.

And yet, if I’ve learned anything, it’s that milestones are fleeting. This week, if someone asks what I’ve been up to, I can say, “I photographed the Queen!”—and for a second, it feels like a big deal. But next week, no one will ask. Another event, another photographer, another moment in time.

Still, here it is.
A photograph that I prepared, lit, and shot. A moment I framed, a memory I helped preserve. And that’s what matters. These things pass, but the privilege of being the one to document them—that never gets old.

(Thank you Charlotte for that foot in the door!)

// A couple shoot is more than just photos—it's a way to document who you are together before the wedding day rush. It’s about capturing the quiet moments, the laughter, the way you naturally move towards each other. No timelines, no distractions—just the two of you, as you are, in this moment before everything changes. A small time capsule of your love, just as it is right now.

// The beauty of a wedding isn’t in the details but in the feeling—a gathering of souls who may never share the same space again. Guests names fade, speeches blur, but what stays is the warmth, the laughter, and the simple joy of being there.
I love shooting weddings.
