Wedding Photojournalist Association

I am delighted to announce my acceptance into the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA), an International, membership-based organisation representing professional photographers skilled in the documentation of weddings and events in a candid, unobtrusive style. As a WPJA member, I am pleased to join the ranks of some of the most talented wedding photojournalists in the world as judged by their technical, creative and visual aptitude.

The WPJA is not an organisation that can be bought into, as membership is only granted to photographers whose work is of a high-enough standard.  Many photographers say they shoot weddings in a reportage style, but when you look closer at their photographs, you can see that much of their work is staged.  WPJA membership is only open to true reportage wedding photographers (also known as wedding photojournalists or documentary wedding photographers).  I am very pleased to have been accepted.  As a member, I will be held to strict membership standards regarding image quality and content, technical and creative technique, website and marketing professionalism, business ethics and communication.  In turn, I gain prestigious affiliation with one of the industry’s top professional organisations. 


Please view my Leicester Wedding Photographer website to see lots of examples of my reportage wedding photography.  You may also wish to view my Reportage Wedding Photographer video that illustrates my approach to unobtrusive wedding photography.  Why not give me a call on either 01455 271849 or on 07973 638591 to discuss your big day?

Leicestershire Wedding Fair

In my continuing tour of Leicestershire wedding fairs, I will be exhibiting at Catthorpe Manor wedding Fair this Sunday (17th April) between 11am and 3pm.  I will have lots of wedding albums on display - both modern storybook and traditional matted albums to suit all tastes.  The address is Catthorpe Manor, Lilbourne Road, Catthorpe, Near Lutterworth, Leicestershire, LE17 6DF.  If you are planning a wedding and looking for a wedding photographer it would be great to see you there. 

My New Wedding Albums Have Arrived!

My new sample wedding albums have now arrived.  They are traditional matted wedding albums from Jorgensen of Australia.  I think they look fabulous and they exude quality.  Here are some photos of them...

I still supply the amazing GraphStudio storybook wedding albums as they are simply stunning and they fit my documentary style of photography very well, but now with my new classic matted albums, I can cater for couples with either traditional or modern tastes.

Wedding Fair in Leicestershire

I will be exhibiting at a wedding fair at Rothley Court Hotel in Leicestershire this Sunday (6th March) from 11am until 4pm.  The hotel's address is Rothley Court Hotel, Westfield Lane, Rothley, Leicestershire, LE7 7LG.  It is a fabulous Leicestershire wedding venue, so it would be great to see you there.


I will be exhibiting at various other wedding fairs in Leicestershire and Warwickshire throughout the year.  Watch this space for details.

Wedding Fair in Warwickshire

I will be exhibiting at the Rugby FM Wedding Fair at Dunchurch Park Hotel (Rugby Road, Dunchurch, Warwickshire, CV22 6QW) this Sunday (27th Feb) from 11am to 3.30pm.  I will have lots of wedding albums on display and a slideshow of loads of my reportage wedding photographs.  I have been told that my stand will be in the marquee where they will be holding the fashion shows, so there will be plenty going on and lots of other Warwickshire wedding vendors to see too.  It would be great to see you there.

New Range of Weddings Albums

For many years now, I have been supplying the fabulous storybook wedding albums from GraphiStudio of Italy.  I will continue to supply them as I love them!  However, I have just started supplying traditional matted wedding albums from Jorgensen of Australia, for those who prefer more formal albums.


Jorgensen produce bespoke hand-bound traditional matted albums in their workshops in Australia.  Their craftsmen pay great attention to detail and they never compromise on quality.  If you want an album with a classic, exclusive feel, Jorgensen albums are definitely for you.  It's crazy that you have to go to the other side of the world to get albums of this quality, but believe me, you do.


I can supply three styles of Jorgensen albums: Pro-bound (their top-end iconic bespoke album), Art (a chic, urban collection) and Studio Art (afordable chic albums that will never date).


I will upload some photos of my display albums to this blog as soon as they arrive - hopefully at the end of February.  In the mean time, here are some photos of my new range of albums that have been supplied by the manufacturer.

Lutterworth Wedding Fayre

I will be exhibiting at The Lutterworth Wedding Fayre at Lutterworth Town Hall (Market Place, Lutterworth, LE17 4DF) this Sunday (30th Jan 11am to 3pm).  It looks like being a great show with lots of local Leicestershire wedding suppliers.  If you are planning your wedding, it would be great to see you there.  I will have plenty of wedding albums for you to view as well as lots of wedding photographs on a continuous slideshow.
