Welcome to my new website. (Still under construction).
I am a commercial photographer based in Prestatyn.
After 31 years in real estate age 50 I took the plunge and in 2005 became a self-employed photographer. I developed a wedding photography business from scratch mainly serving the North Wales area and rented a small commercial property in Prestatyn for a few years before building a studio at home. I gradually had more and more commercial work and stopped accepting wedding commissions in 2017. My last wedding, in 2019 (approx. number 310) was a lovely one to finish on, at Bodrhyddan Hall near my home.
I enjoy the commercial side and have undertaken work for several companies in the construction industry in North Wales, as well as a prominent Estate Agent.
I am now semi-retired and hope to spend more time fly fishing, gardening and perhaps may take up golf again! After 70+ years I am walking and exercising to keep fit and have joined a local TaiChi class.
Please note that although I no longer accept wedding commissions and have all of my wedding images archived and copies are available on request with a little notice.
I cannot either undertake family photoshoots, portrait sittings nor passport/ID photography.
Please contact me by email or ‘phone.
