Biography: After a career change in 2001 -following in Lord Snowdens often quoted tracks- all of the photographers of my age have come from failing at something else!I spent two years as an eager documentary photographer before balancing things and becoming a wedding photographer. Winning UK Wedding photographer of the year 2009, has given me the platform to fund going back into documentary work.
