I've just created a new Facebook page for Triggers Photography where I will start to host a selection of photos from each shoot. It's designed to be a free value added service for my clients so that they can keep a virtual copy of their favourite photos and easily share it with their friends and family. It also has the added advantage that friends can leave comments on the album or on specific

During my recent trip to Venice I was keen to stay at a traditional Venetian hotel to soak up the true ambience of this beautiful city. Whilst doing my research I stumbled across this hidden gem, the Ca'Segredo Hotel. It's absolutely stunning with authentic Venetian interior design, fresco paintings and opulent Italian style in abundance. It boasts an enviable setting overlooking the Grand Canal

I've always wanted to go to Venice, not just because it's such a romantic city, but also because it's meant to be such a beautiful place to photograph. I was only there a few days but it certainly lived up to expectations - I was literally blown away by how picturesque it was.

One of the most popular extras I offer wedding couples is the option to present the best photos in a beautifully designed, hand crafted coffee table book.

I really enjoyed photographing Clive and Nicole's wedding. They're such a great couple and have a fun sense of humour and positive outlook on life, so they're always smiling and laughing which always helps when you're taking photos! They've been together for many years and already have three lovely children but only now have they decided to tie the knot. Nicole didn't want to be photographed

Portrait photography doesn't have to be staid or overly formal and traditional.

Whereas some people feel comfortable in a studio with all the bright lights many clients prefer to go out on location somewhere and shoot within their natural surroundings. This can lead to much more relaxed portraits as it's a less alien environment and you can work with natural daylight. We specialise in this kind of lifestyle photography and often shoot locally in Wandsworth Common which is

No snow for this winter wedding - in fact it turned out to be a lovely day.

If we had a pound for every person who came through our doors professing to be unphotogenic, we'd have built up enough spare change to get the kitchen refitted! I firmly believe everyone can look good in front of the camera with a little encouragement, some gentle direction, some flattering lighting and a degree of skill behind the camera.Liz was no exception. She said she's never seen a good

These commercial portraits are from another shoot we did last month of Goldstone Hall Hotel. Although we were commissioned to take mainly interior and exterior photography of the hotel we were also asked to take some portraits of key members of staff including the Hotel manager, Front of House, waiters, barmaids, the head chef, florist and gardener. Here's a selection.

I know Carri quite well but I've never met her delightful family before. When she asked if I could take some informal pictures of her children I jumped at the chance. I packed my camera bag and popped over to their place in North London for the afternoon, taking a variety of candid photos throughout the afternoon. Carri had the foresight to get them to make some cakes which not only kept them

Goldstone Hall is a beautiful hotel in Market Drayton, Shropshire. They recently commissioned us for three days to photograph the hotel with the specific brief to create a bank of images which would give their website a face-lift. We photographed everything from the deluxe rooms, the first class restaurant and the cosey bar to the hotel's exterior, the beautiful gardens and even the vegetable

We thought Jenny was great. She arrived for her portrait session feeling a tad apprehensive and not really knowing what to expect but after a cuppa she soon relaxed and looked like she really enjoyed the whole affair. We really like these photos as they capture her personality perfectly. Hopefully she likes them too!

A few weekends ago, Nick and Gail had a joint 50th birthday party at the RAC Club in London and asked us to capture the special occasion. It's an impressive venue so it's always good to capture the ambience of the place as well as the guests. It's also a good idea to remember to wear a tie!

Photographing this corporate presentation in such low light conditions was one of the trickiest briefs we've had for a while. But with a trusty tripod, a few careful tweaks with the camera settings and a bit of jiggery-pokery in photoshop, we had a bank of images which everyone was happy with!

Last month we photographed Alice & Jose's wedding just round the corner from us in St Mary Magdalene's church in Wandsworth Common, followed by the reception at the Roehampton Tennis Club. It was a very happy occasion with many of the guests coming all the way over from Spain to join in the celebrations. We'll let the pictures tell the story...

Every week Angela comes round to clean my flat and brings her young daughter Stephanie with her. I couldn't resist taking a couple of shots while Angela was busy cleaning and decided to give her the black and white prints as a surprise. I'm hoping this means I can leave some dirty dishes in the sink and not feel so guilty!

We photograph a variety of different events - some times they are corporate affairs but more often than not, they're social gatherings from weddings and christenings to parties and family get-togethers. This particular family event was in aid of the head of the family who happened to be celebrating her 90th birthday no less! Looking at the photos, you'd never have guessed she's ten years shy of a

Taking corporate portraits or headshots needn't be a stiff affair. Nic approached us because she actually wanted some professional photos which looked more relaxed and contemporary than the norm. She's frequently asked to be a guest speaker at a number of conferences so it's important she projects the right image.

Whilst most couples plan to have their weddings in the summer sunshine, a surprising number these days are opting for winter weddings. Maybe it's the idea of having log fires and twinkly Christmas lights to add to the ambience. Or maybe it's because it's cheaper! Whatever the reason, at least you know it's going to be wet and windy and can plan accordingly, unlike our erratic British summers!We
