Editorial Photojournalism

Here you can see some of my Editorial work during my 17 years as a photojournalist at The Times newspaper in London. It’s what has influenced how I work as a documentary wedding photographer– essentially as a photo essay for a newspaper or magazine. Though I don’t highlight the portrait session I do with most couples, you can see that I am well versed in portraiture, often with only a few minutes with the subject. But it’s the story-telling part of working as a news photojournalist that has the most influence on how I now work as a documentary wedding photographer.

Browse through this gallery, where you’ll see some familiar faces and events. Here’s a blog post if you’re interested in learning more about how my editorial photography has shaped my wedding photography.

Or check out some of the blog posts below, which go into a little more detail of some of the photographs.
