My Second Shooters Hall of Fame

Tom

He might not look it here, but Tom is never happier than when contorting his body into an unseemly shape trying to document the wedding day in his trademark unscripted way. He’s won awards with images captured at my weddings shooting with me, and is a master of the Drinks Reception part of the day. If you’ve seen his ‘concentration face’ as displayed here, you’ve probably been snapped before you know it!

Karl

…loves nothing better than holding my Octabox/light stand combo for me whilst I procrastinate over where to pose my couples. So much so, that an image of him looking grumpy holding it, is somewhat disappointingly my most liked image on Instagram. Another athlete, Karl uses his svelte stature to ‘Ninja’ his way into the tiniest gaps on the dance floor to capture the carnage unfolding. Then he’s gone again in a puff of dry ice, leaving inebriated revelers wondering if he was just a dream.

Sian

My ‘Vice President of Showing Off at Wedding Fairs’. Sian is the glitter and the flamboyance of our sales division. A career in marketing, PR & communications, and pretending to be Welsh gives her real value to the business. Hobbies include talking, Ballet, talking about Ballet and never putting more than £22 of fuel in a car. Her hair can tell both her mood, and the ambient humidity, and she just happens to be my best friend in the whole wide world. We are looking forward to getting married in June 2025!

Dave

I met Dave on a wedding photography training course 10 years ago and was immediately won over by his chipmunk smile and shared love for a coffee. His trusty Thermos flask has fueled many a late night finish on the job, and he simply can’t seem to stop having children. He’s so easy going you can literally use him as a spirit level. Now claims to live in Hertfordshire as well, but really we all know that Tring is a pretend place, like the lost city of Atlantis.

Becky

Fully trained in the profession of rescuing large animals by weekday. At weekends I have been training her up in the dark art of wedding photography, with exciting results! Often confused on wedding dancefloors for an underdressed wedding guest, due to her inability to resist the riddim, she will happily body-pop her way through the evening, whilst somehow still delivering sharp images. The sky and (dance)floor are both the limit for this one.

Jo

When she isn’t returning beanbags to drunk wedding guests, this former international sprinter who used to train with Sally Gunnell, is often found being extremely precise and detailed with everything she does. This attention to detail makes her a valuable asset to the team, and she can sprint from one end of a church to another quicker than you can say ‘Linfords lunchbox’.
