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 him many awards, including "Associate"
of all the major UK photographic organizations, plus
"UK Wedding Photographer
of the Year",
"International Wedding Photojournalism
Print of the Year",
and the highest Accolade offered by 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.
