Some of my favourite photos from 2025.

I did over 150 shoots in 2025, making it my busiest year so far. It was also my most varied year as well, with my usual food and portraits mixed in with some more real estate and product photography as well.

I had less time for my landscapes and own projects this year unfortunately but still enjoyed shooting when I had the chance and got to see some stunning sunsets.

2026 will be my 15th year pursing photography seriously and my 12th since doing my first paid shoots. It feels like a long time and yet not that long as well. I’m looking forward to seeing where the year takes me.

Happy New Year. Let’s hope it’s a good one for us all and the world too.

The recent Aurora Australis from Catherine Hill Bay and Caves Beach. It was an amazing sight, very special.

One of my goals is to see the Northern Lights in Iceland as well, hopefully one day.

A few from a recent portrait workshop I hosted with the lovely Jess Cord at Jesmond Park.

It was an outdoor flash workshop with umbrella props and then we had some Halloween fun at the end.

It was a fun afternoon and we all got some great photos.

Some photos from a shoot for PakPum Thai in Cardiff earlier this year.

This was my third shoot with them and they’re one of my very favourite places to shoot around Newcastle. The food is always amazing and colourful and they prepare it with genuine love and care.

Highly recommend them if you’re in the area. Thank you to everyone there for a great shoot!

Meant To Be

If I could have, I would have
Given you a thousand roses

And if I could have, I would have
Given you all the diamonds in the world

And if I could have, I would have
Watched every sunset with you

And if I could have, I would have
Woken up next to you each day

And if I could have, I would have
Climbed the tallest mountain for you

And if I could have, I would have
Written your name across the sky

And if I could have, I would have
Crossed the desert to reach you

And if I could have, I would have
Lost myself forever in your eyes

And if I could have, I would have
Travelled the world with you

And if I could have, I would have
Danced with you under the stars

And if I could have, I would have
Made a million memories with you

And if I could have, I would have
Framed every memory to keep

And if I could have, I would have
Stayed awake to watch you sleeping

And if I could have, I would have
Laughed with you at nothing at all

And if I could have, I would have
Sat with you in comfortable silence

And if I could have, I would have
Made sure you never felt alone

And if I could have, I would have
Been your knight in shining armour

And if I could have, I would have
Been your joker and your thief

And if I could have, I would have
Taken you on grand adventures 

And if I could have, I would have
Swept you off your feet

And if I could have, I would have
Taken all your fears away

And if I could have, I would have
Brought all your dreams to life

And if I could have, I would have
Made you smile every day

And if I could have, I would have
Held you close every night

And if I could have, I would have
Watched the Northern Lights with you

And if I could have, I would have
Flown you to the Moon and back

And if I could have, I would have
Moved Heaven and Earth to find you

And if I could have, I would have
Turned back time to see you again

And if I could have, I would have
Said I loved you more often

And if I could have, I would have
Told you I needed you each day

And if I could have, I would have
Said everything my heart wanted

And if I could have, I would have
Told you the things I didn’t know how to say

And if I could have, I would have
Been there to comfort you

And if I could have, I would have
Caught your tears as they fell

And if I could have, I would have
Stayed with you at the end

And if I could have, I would have
Held your hand as you said goodbye

And if I could have, I would have
Given you happily ever after

And if I could have, I would have
Given you the entire world

And if I could have, I would have
Spent the rest of my life with you

And if I could have, I would have
Never broken your heart

If I could have, I would have
But some things just aren’t meant to be
