Claire & Ash//moonlit e-session

In the words of Monty Python...."and now for something completely different"

When I first met Claire and Ashley, I mentioned wanting to do something a bit different to the norm, moonlight was mentioned, and that was it, Claire jumped at the chance, it's taken us a MONTH to put this shoot together, mainly because we kept believing the BBC weather who kept telling us not to bother and a 90 minute drive each way, but we got there, eventually, mainly due to Claire who said "nah let's keep going" even when there was rainclouds in every direction and with such an optimistic attitude that I figured she must know something I don't.....she was right!

Liz & J // wedding

Yesterday was Liz and J's wedding, a grey morning cleared to the gorgeous skies you see in the main image on one of the most fun weddings we've ever done, held almost entirely at Liz's parents converted farm it was a lovely, friendly, people-orientated day that incorporated the 'Macarena' as their first dance, certainly a first for me!

Here's just a very small selection of the photos to whet your appetite, enjoy your honeymoon and I'll have the whole selection available for when you get back!



Big thanks again to Dipak who very effectively second-shot, assisted and navigated for me, and found me leaving my EOS 1Ds in the middle of the road hilarious...thanks for that D, and a big shout out to Rob and Becca without whom yesterday couldn't have happened.

Liz + Jason//pre-wedding

Dipak and I headed up to Cannock chase on saturday to do an engagement session with a difference!

Liz and J share a passion for mountain bikes and it sounded too much fun to pass up a chance to capture them in their environment, hopefully Liz is a little less uncomfortable with PDAs in front of our lenses now!

Ian + Frederique :: wedding

Ian & Fred's wedding took place yesterday at the Catholic church of St Ethelreda with the reception at Tattersalls horse auctioneers in Newmarket, both absolutely amazing locations for photography, we were blessed with plenty of opportunities for photos!

A very relaxed, laid-back and bi-lingual wedding (Frederique is French and was translating all the speeches for her family) with a lot of very unique twists - from the amazing cake shown below to the evening ending with a 'battle of the bands' contest between the 2 rock groups the couple play in, a very unique and incredibly fun wedding!

Thanks again to Sue Mossey second shooting for me and putting up with my cheek, and Kristine Hewlett for assisting, carrying bags and holding softboxes to create some of the posed images shown above.

Ian + Frederique // engagement session

Sue and myself took a trip over to Cambridge this morning to meet Ian + Fred to have a look around their church and reception location before their big day on June 12th and to maybe take a few photos while we were there, it was dull, grey and raining most of the morning, but we managed to sneak a few photos inside the church and on the steps outside before getting locked out of Tattersalls!!

Sue and I are very much looking forward to the wedding now, see you both in 2 weeks!!




Thanks to Sue for being on softbox-holding duty (never fun, good for your upper body though!) and to Sue and Kerry for a lovely (if exceptionally camp!) lunch.

Christina & Lee // 22.05.2010

Yesterday was the wedding of Christina & Lee at Kenwick Park, near Louth, the largest wedding shoot this company has done so ar, it involved 3 photographers and 15 hours in blistering heat.

An amazing day involving many Greek traditions which none of us had experienced before, we all had fun and were extremely well looked after by Bride, Groom, guests and venue (more on the latter later!) and over 4000 exposures were taken in all, we won't burden you with that many to sift through Christina, don't worry!

Enjoy your honeymoon and I look forward to showing you all of them when you return

Big thanks to Sue Mossey second shooting, Dipak Gohil assisting and 3rd shooting, Suzannah and Dove for helping us organise group shots and various other things throughout the day, but biggest thanks of all have to be given to Fiona, the deputy manager at Kenwick who literally saved my bacon after a certain someone, who shall remain unnamed and unshamed, drove home to Leicester with my car keys still in his pocket! Fiona - I am deeply indebted to your kindness.

RAF Upwood // Hazel

Massive photoshoot today on an abandoned RAF base organised by Alex Beckett, lots of photographers, lots of models, lots and lots and lots of fun.

The most possible thanks to Hazel, the model we were lucky enough to get all day, she was so patient with myself, Dipak and Sam as I turned pretty much everything into a training exercise, and in the face of our childish banter she remained (mostly) helpful and professional....hopefully we've got one or two you can use for your portfolio, it's the least you deserve for putting up with us!

Liam // acting headshots

While at the family lifestyle session I also took the time to get some headshots done for Tanya's son Liam who is an aspiring actor - any casting directors viewing this should hire him, he does good smiles on demand!










Tanya // lifestyle

I spent a few hours on easter sunday at Tanya's family get together with the main aim of getting a few photos of her 1 year-old grandson, but the lure of the camera brought a few more people out!

Hope you enjoy them, thanks for looking after me, there'll be many many more to see when I get the private gallery sorted.
