About Paul

Pauls background is in media and business management, this is reflected not only in the slick way in which his MEP studio is run but also by taking a look at how quickly the many different branches of his photographic businesses have grown.

Photography has been a hobby of Pauls since University. However it wasn’t until Paul went across to digital, just over six years ago, that he started to get serious.

Like many photographers it was encouragement from friends and family that led to the belief in himself that he did have something special about his photographic style that set him apart from others.

In 2003 that Paul successfully launched his 1st photographic business, ‘Digipix”, dealing exclusively in landscapes. It was immediately apparent that landscape suited Paul’s style, artistic eye and attention for detail. Paul’s love for photography especially digital was cemented and Paul found pleasure in the ability to shoot hundreds of photos in a single session allowing the freedom and experimentation that film never had. Although this has led on to many other ventures this is still Paul’s passion, which he indulges in, in what little free time he has!
From landscape photography it seemed a natural progression to go into wedding photography especially when photos taken at friends and family weddings were remarked upon “to be on a par with that of the professional wedding photographer”. And thus in 2005 ‘Precious Moments – wedding photography’ was born. It’s Paul previous experience in graphic design (he owns ai productions – a graphic design company) that allows him to visualise shots that a lot of people cant see. His fast shooting style also suits the candid style of photographs that really capture true emotion. Something many of the bride and grooms Paul has photographed have commented on.

It was always an aspiration of Pauls to one day have a studio as he had been doing mobile portraits (taking portrait photographs in peoples homes) for a number of years. In 2008 he was lucky enough to have the opportunity to take over MEP studio. Since then Paul has continued to build upon the exceptional reputation that MEP already had. With new incentives, products, competitions, and a whole new look to the studio, Paul hopes to keep this well established business going strong with a element that can not be replicated anywhere else –Paul!

It seems each stage of development has led on to the next and with each new business has come challenges and new goals to achieve. This has allowed Paul to develop professionally into the unique kind of photographer he is. Now a member of the MPA he feels that gaining the qualifications will push him further. There has always been something different about Pauls style, whether it is the ease at which he puts people, the fact that he is willing to do almost anything for the perfect shot –he has been known to wade waist deep into the sea to capture a ‘stunning sunset’, that he has such a wide variety of experience or simply his passion for photography that is infectious.
So, whats make MEP special and stand out from the crowd? The answer is Paul himself!
