ABOUT ME

Thanks for visiting my website.

I am Stuart Harrison and live in Cricklade in Wiltshire.

I am married to Sally (she’s the better looking one that you might of seen at wedding fayres) and we have a grown up family. 

 

I am a professionally trained photojournalist with over 30 years experience, primarily in newspapers and recently as a Picture Editor on a local daily newspaper in Wiltshire. I have been commissioned to photograph weddings for the last 20 years and this is now my full time career. 

 

My passion for photography from a teenager has been rooted in the concept that I am able capture ‘a 250th of a second of life which is then preserved forever’. I have always gravitated towards photographing people and telling a story about them.

Some History

I’ve had the pleasure in photographing five Prime Ministers, numerous political and celebrity figures through to some of the best sportsmen and women from around the world and every senior member of the Royal family, from Princess Diana to the Queen.  During my newspaper career I have won a number of national and local press awards and was nominated in numerous others.
