Hello, we are Wedding & Lifestyle Photographers.
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.
