Best wedding photography of 2018
To put it mildly, 2018 has been an incredible year. I’ve been all over the country and around the world meeting inspiring people, making new friends and having a blast taking photos of awesome couples. Frankly, it’s pretty amazing to have a job that, on some weekends, takes me down the road on the bus to a wedding in a restaurant or, on others, flys me as far as rural India for a traditional Hindu wedding. It’s a constant surprise and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
My thanks go to all my amazing couples who’ve booked me to be at their weddings in the last twelve months, who have trusted me to document some of the most important moments in their lives and who have, just generally, been brilliant to be around. It’s been a huge privilege to have worked on every single wedding. So, to my couples, thank you. You’re the best!

One last number…
Here’s one final number for you – 100. Specifically, 100 of my favourite photos from the year presented in no particular order! I dug through every single wedding I shot this year pulling out some of my favourites I’ve been mooning over ever since I took them, and rediscovering some lost gems along the way too. Enjoy!
