Nick and Cath

Engagement session…
Nick and Cath thought I was a bit weird when I took them to some industrial wasteland instead of the local park for their recent e-session, but they now see the reason behind my 'madness'!

We all had such a fun time of it until we were eventually rained off..

Looking forward to their wedding wedding next October!

David and Lindsay…

2008-09-04T06:43:00.001-07:00

Clifton wedding…
August was such a mad month I'm really behind with my blogging!

I've been really looking forward to shooting David and Lindsay's wedding they were such good company on my earlier visits I knew rain or shine we would have a great day.

Most bizzare thing of all… the bride was actually born in my house!

Annie and Craig

2008-08-08T07:25:00.000-07:00

Having a field day…
When I first heard about Annie and Craig's wedding at Bosworth Hall, Warwickshire I thought 'wow' thats going to be both fun and different, I wasn't wrong! This was such a fun day with a fun couple.

The weather was on our side which was more welcome than usual as these 'keen campers' held their reception in a field, and we sat round campfires chatting till the early hours. Their honeymoon suite was a tent, all the guests camped out too!

Laura and Richard

2008-07-21T06:56:00.000-07:00

Doing it military style!…
Laura and Richard were lucky to miss the torrential rain by minutes for their wedding at the stunning St James' and St Matthews Church in Liverpool. A military wedding with guard of honour made for a spectacular and fun day.

British Council for Offices Awards night

2008-07-11T14:32:00.000-07:00

Steve Norris, Crowne Plaza Liverpool…
Last weeks British Council for Offices held their regional awards at the Crowne Plaza in Liverpool. Former Conservative MP Steve Norris was the guest speaker who delivered a fantastic and informative pre awards talk before announcing the winners.

Tom and Sarah

2008-06-16T05:39:00.000-07:00

Woodlands, Leeds…
Spending more time in my adoptive home town Liverpool it was great to come 'home' for Tom and Sarah's wedding.

Tom and Sarah were such a fun, friendly and easy going couple which made it a fantastic day for everyone there. It was a joy to capture the spirit of their day.

Still looking for the perfect fathers day gift?

Little monsters…
As well as weddings I also offer at home portraits of both children and adults. These can be in a natural environment like the garden or contemporary studio shots. Framed or on large canvases these are guaranteed to melt hearts. As well as great fathers day gifts extra copies can be made to give to grandparents who will love them at any time of the year!

India

I'm back!…
Sadly I've been back from holiday 2 weeks already and been simply too busy to post anything here. Our holiday was wonderful and relaxing and just what we both needed to re charge our batteries. This is Sunrise at Mandrem Beach, Goa.

The biggest event out there was on the 30th of April I asked my girlfriend Louise to marry me. She said yes and now I know exactly what you guys go through with all the planning etc. Of course the wedding photography will be a big decision I'm not allowed to take my own photos! In honesty I wouldn't want to even if it were possible, its a physically and mentally demanding job and I just want to enjoy our day.

A photographer is seldom without his or her camera and this photographer is no exception, here are a few holiday photos I thought I would share with you all.

Lanterns at the night market

Street Kids, Goa (not sure exactly where :)

Laura and Paul

2008-03-24T02:59:00.000-07:00

Doing it Beckham Style…
We all had such fun at the Castle which really shows in the photos we got. Along with the bride and groom all the guests really entered into the spitit of the day by joining us in the photo booth we set up in the evening! It will be two weeks before I post any of those here as I'm now away in India soaking up the sun!

The Boys are Back in Town

2008-03-19T13:29:00.000-07:00

Paul and the Gang…
Boys do things differently! Bacon butties, x-box, Star Wars, martial arts and cups of tea replaced the make-up artists, hairdressers and pink champagne of the girls.

Just Laura

2008-03-19T05:47:00.001-07:00

A Relaxed Morning?…
Laura's preparations were split over two beautiful locations, this first one overlooking the marina in Liverpool with the finishing touches taking place at Leasowe Castle on the Wirral.

Peeking through this door at the castle you can see the girls had a perfectly relaxed morning!

Ness and Phil

2008-03-13T05:15:00.000-07:00

Back Down the Aisle…
After a moving ceremony Mr and Mrs M walked back down the aisle arm in arm with huge grins on their faces. The venue was beautifully set up in creams and gold and looked really classy and looks sensational on their photographs.

The stunning Temple Newsam a Tudor–Jacobean mansion had been pre-booked for us to shoot there and was an awesome backdrop for the 'limited time' we were given there.

The Dress

2008-03-12T07:51:00.000-07:00

Ness's Wedding Preparations…
Then to Ness's room to capture her pre wedding moments. This is the on-the-hanger moment, I think after this point ie when its on, that it really all sinks in that all that planning and preperation is happening NOW!!

A Close Shave

2008-03-09T15:38:00.001-07:00

Phil's Wedding Preparations…
We had such fun taking Phil's preparation photos and were made so welcome by all at the Chair in Rothwell near Leeds. Don't worry! No blood was spilled, Phil made it to the venue on time. This treatment looked the biz I will be booking myself in soon to experience this five star shave service.

3 Friends and a Dog

2008-03-05T15:18:00.000-08:00

Time Spent with Friends…
With the wedding season set to take off in earnest this month Lou and I decided to make the most of my last weekend off for some time and spent it with friends. We took them to see the Anthony Gormley sculptures on the beach at Crosby, it was such a wild day that the sand had a striped texture where the wind met resistance from pebbles. I thought it made a change to photograph real people on the beach instead of just the 'iron men'.

Focus on Imaging 08

2008-02-27T08:54:00.000-08:00

4 Photographers and a Mobile Phone!...
Focus on Imaging is the yearly exhibition held at the NEC for professional photographers to go and check out the latest in camera and lighting equipment along with software and albums.

I was really impressed with some of the new albums on show, so expect to see me adding a few more options in the coming weeks.

Focus is also a good excuse for me to meet up with my photographer buddies, here I am with Roxanne and Jeremy from London and Kelly visiting all the way from VA Beach in the US! Being seen as most uncool to take a camera to the show we were reduced to our mobile phones hence the awful quality of this photo, so next time you're snapping at your friends wedding with your phone-cam remember this is as good as it gets :D

Happy Valentines

2008-02-14T11:56:00.001-08:00

A Rose Between 2 Thorns...
Wishing everyone a happy Valentines day this leap year!

Gus and Abby

One Fine Winters Day in North Wales...
Exploiting the quickly failing light expected at this time of year allowed for some striking wedding images. We were lucky to have such a dry day as the weather had been awful for nearly two weeks. However it is January and warmth was too much to ask! A huge well done to Abby who was a real trooper despite the cold although she did take a shine to my jacket!
