OUR JOURNEY

'After many years of travel and working in Miami with people from all countries and cultures, it was under American skies in 1999 when I met Kristie. From that day forth, our own love story spiralled into a marriage, a business and an expanding family. It became our dream to work together creating a career that reflects our passion for both family and photography, whilst maintaining a distinct vision on how the Harkness brand would progress. In 2001 that dream became a reality and as 2022 is nearly done that success is very much growing with every passing day. We moved to the beautiful town of Lytham on the Fylde Coast just after lock down. With our client base spread over the entire UK & Europe nowhere is too far. I grab my camera and go. ‘

I’m not one for being centre of attention! Probably why I started behind the camera and not infront of it! I shot my first wedding on the shores of Miami in 1996 - where I also met my now wife - Kristie. More about her soon! I love coffee, we even sell our own blend! I love my family more than anything and this inspires me to be better and strive for perfection in all that I do. I picked up my first camera at the age of 14 as a gift from my mother and have never looked back! After working aboard the Cruise ships in the Caribbean for 6 years I met my then Canadian girlfriend Kristie and we returned to these shores in 2000. After setting up our first studio above a bridal shop our business has gone from strength to strength. Working all over the UK & Europe nowhere is too far and no wedding too big or small. Capturing weddings, events, Bar & Batmitvah, parties, families, portraits, commercial photography and so much more. If you want someone thats going to shoot your wedding like no other, capturing moments and memories then you’ve come to the right place!

I know my place and if it’s not taking pictures then something is wrong! We have worked incredibly hard as a team for the last 20+ years to be as successful as we are today. Hugely responsible for this is my wife & business partner - Kristie. Originating from Canada her work ethic is like no-one else I know! She is the driving force behind all that we do as a family and business. She will take care of you from beginning to the end. From the initial correspondence to working on your imagery, Album design and all the bits inbetween you can guarantee you’ll be in good hands..
