“Life’s a Beach” … and then you get to be a Wedding Photographer! What more could you ask for?

Dennis started his career as a Landscape Photographer, travelling across Europe with a 5x4 plate camera. In 1985 he moved into Editorial Photography and worked for The Daily Telegraph Colour Library. He now combines the skills learned in both disciplines into what he terms as “Lifestyle Wedding Photography”

“Lifestyle Photography is about people in natural situations. It combines the best of photojournalistic imagery with stylised settings to produce strong, dynamic pictures. Couples are not over posed in a “Strictly Ballroom” way, but are encouraged to react together, bringing out their own unique individuality.”

This approach has earned many awards, including “UK Wedding Photographer of the Year”, “International Wedding Photojournalism Print of the Year”, and the highest Accolade with the American organisation WPPI “Accolade of Lifetimes Photographic Excellence”

He lectures in the UK and America on all aspects of Contemporary British Wedding Photography.
Despite this, Dennis likes nothing better than a night in at home, with his wife & children, watching TV. He considers humour to be his best characteristic.
