Congratulations to Lily and Dan for their Dartford Wedding

Congratulations to Lily and Dan on their wedding at Dartford, Kent.  The weather was very much against us but we still managed to take the majority of the wedding pictures outside.  The late evening sun provided some lovely light for us to get some pictures of Lily’s wedding dress and Dan’s dress uniform. Congratulations to…


Pre-wedding photography shoot at Birtsmorton Court Worcestershire

I recently travelled further afield than usual to take photographs for a pre-wedding shoot at the wonderful Birtsmorton Court in Worcestershire.  It’s a two hour drive (for me) but well worth it as the location is simply stunning. I met Grace and Alex in the afternoon and once again the weather was kind with not…


Pre-wedding shoot at Keele Hall – Keele University

A busy schedule has meant that I haven’t put up as many blog posts as I would like but I must mention a wonderful pre-wedding shoot at Keele University with a lovely couple. I met Adrian and Maria last year and they agreed to engage me for their wedding.  We arranged a date for a…


Izzy and Jake Engagement Party at Somerset House

Allison and I were invited to the engagement party of Izzy Warren and Jake Green at Somerset House, a local venue in Chesterfield Derbyshire.  Izzy and Jake are getting married next year and are busy ensuring all the preparations are ready for their wedding day. The party was a lot of fun and we took…


A recent portrait session

I was recently commissioned to take some fun photographs and portraits of two girls.  The shoot was on location at the family’s house and so presented all the usual problems of indoor lighting.  Fortunately, the natural window light did provide most of what I needed to capture the girls at play and when posing for…


Award Winning Photograph

Another picture that I have entered into the SWPP competition has collected a highly commended award.  As I watched the little girl move from guest to guest at a recent wedding, I was convinced she would offer someone some of her bun.  Sure enough, she did and I took the picture you see below. Looking…


Makeover and Photography with Emily

We had a super day with Emily recently giving her a makeover and then taking portrait photographs.  Currently we are a little cramped for space here in Chesterfield but we soon aim to change all that. As ever, Allison used her considerable make-up skills to get Emily ready for the day’s shoot and then we…


SWPP Photograph Awards

Well, I blog about a photograph that won and award and soon after another image is awarded  highly commended status! Whilst visiting Sydney Australia I found myself at a wonderful vantage point looking out over the harbour bridge.  I was lucky with the weather and cloud formations and composed this shot.  The SWPP awarded it…


Award winning photograph

Although this isn’t a wedding or portrait shot, I still take landscapes and other styles to assist me with ideas and other useful techniques that I can employ when shooting a wedding.  Many techniques are usually not appropriate but the only way to improve is to try and experiment. This photograph won a highly commended…


SWANCAR FARM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY: CARL AND NATALIE’S SWANCAR FARM WEDDING

The day started brightly and we were hoping the weather would hold as it did for the pre-wedding shoot.  We had visited Swancar Farm near Nottingham previously and were hoping to use the field of corn as a backdrop for some of the pictures but sadly the local farmer had harvested the crop early.  Not…
