My name is Lee, I'm a Worcestershire based professional wedding photographer. I have been photographing weddings for 12 years, full time for 7 years and I honestly believe I have the best job in the world. As of October 2019, I have photographed 348 weddings, and loved every moment. Also, if you judge me by the photo above, I seem to hold my camera like a complete weirdo.
I'm 31 years old, but have been taking photos now for 19 years. I have had a fantastic career thus-far and have packed so much in already - I've photographed the Queen, Lewis Hamilton, Frank Bruno, Clive Woodward, Jason Donovan, Kevin Keegan, Mike Tindall (who called me pint-size) and Martin Corry to name but a few. I was Worcester Warrior's official photographer for 4 years. I've also photographed the Three Counties show from a light-aircraft at 2,000 feet, hanging out of the window, and I've photographed Wembley Stadium, the London Eye and St Pauls Cathedral at night. From a helicopter.
I'm often asked how I got into photography, and I'm afraid it's one of those good old fashioned love stories - only this one is about a boy and his camera. I was 12 years old when my dad retrieved his old 35mm film camera from the attic - a camera that's 10 years older than I am! I used to love playing with the camera, I love how it felt in my hand and I loved the noise the shutter made. The camera didn't have any film in it but that didn't stop me from composing make-believe photos. I was hooked on photography without ever having taken a photo.
