And I'm back...

A lot has happened since I last blogged at the end of last year.

I've been busy with a selection of work, but the most important thing that has happened is my wedding....I'm now a married man, which is cool.

My wife and I had the most incredible wedding day and then headed straight off on honeymoon. We flew to Tokyo and spend 12 non-stop days exploring Japan. We spent time in Tokyo, Hiroshima, Miyajima Island, Kyoto and Hakone before heading back home.

Japan is a brilliant country that I thoroughly recommend you check out if you ever get the chance. It's a mad combination of ultra modern and traditional. The food is delicious (well, it is if you like Japanese food in the first place!), and all the people are super friendly and welcoming, even if they barely speak a word of English!

Here's a selection of images from our time in the land of the rising sun.

Japanese Food @ St Giles Place

I LOVE Japanese food. So much so that my fiancée and I are going to Japan on our honeymoon next year.

So I was very happy indeed when I had a phone call from Ippudo, a brilliant Japanese restaurant in the same development as Google's head office, asking me to come along and photograph their menu. Needless to say, they didn't need to ask me twice!

I spent a couple of days photographing their delicious selection of food, including a lot of ramen, their speciality. I'd be lying if I said I didn't eat some myself :-)

Ippudo is a chain in Japan but this is the first one in the UK. There is now a second one open in Canary Wharf. I think there might be a few more popping up, because the food is so good!

Here are a few snaps to get your mouth salivating...
