Come on in and take a look around our humble professional photography site. We'd love to work with you to help deliver images that you'll love. Be those on your wedding day, portraits of loved ones, a family day photography session in the Essex countryside, woods or beach, or perhaps for your own business or commercial shoot.
Please do take a look through our portfolio of work, these are just a small handful of thousands of images we have taken for happy clients.
There is more about us below, and a contact form should you wish to know more about our services.
Our photoshoots aim to encapsulate the essence of your family against the backdrop of Essex's breathtaking yellow and gold autumn foliage.
You have the option to select from a range of exclusive, scenic locations that we've carefully curated over the years.
Whether your family enjoys hiking or simply taking in the beauty of the outdoors, we can recommend spots that align perfectly with your interests.
Join us for a spooky Halloween Mini shoot on Monday 23rd October (School Half Term).
We'll welcome your child in their spookiest outfit, where they can choose from a range of spooky face paint choices. After face painting it's time for a photoshoot, in a spooky (but not scary) Halloween pop up studio where we provide you 5 professionally produced and edited images - uploaded to your own virtual gallery.
If that wasn't enough we also include a free spooky coffee for an adult, one per paying child.
Hope to see you there.
Available for weddings across Essex, UK.
Hi there. Thank you for stopping by in my little space of the internet. I am an experienced photographer, who started taking photographs around 30 years ago. I am based in a little town called Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex, UK.
I deliver classic and timeless style of photography. I capture your wedding story from beginning to end, in an informal and calm style, that is unobtrusive resulting in beautiful images of such an important day.
I'm a fully insured photographer, using the latest camera technology to capture your most important moments.
On many occasions I am also accompanied by my wife who helps organise things here at Shining HQ but also has a keen eye for detail, taking wonderfully atmospheric images.
10% of all profits will go to support our local primary school, Burnham County Primary school in Essex.
We love to talk, nothing more so than about how we can help you.
