…and that was 2013

2013 - Weddings, birthdays, walks in the park, gigs, band shoots and more miles than I care to remember! I've seen friends and family tie the knot (that's my brother below!), I've had weddings published, worked with some amazing photographers, and learnt an awful lot!...

Clare and John – a musical wedding at the Hospitium, York

The Hospitium in York's Museum gardens is one of those venues that I've always wanted to shoot at. It looks elegant outside and is just as beautiful inside. It didn't disappoint! So I was particularly lucky when I went along with Shelly from Toast of Leeds to help out...

Dave and Lisa at Wortley Hall

Lisa wanted a party. A big one. When I first started talking to Lisa and Dave it was pretty apparent that they'd had a difficult year and really wanted to make up for it with a special celebration. And that's exactly what they did. Their plans turned from a small...

Dave and Lisa get married in a couple of weeks at the beautiful Wortley Hall near Sheffield. We went for a walk around Newmillerdam in Wakefield for a bit of a practice before their wedding day. Rather excited now, I'm secretly hoping for some autumnal colours, but...

Tim and Ellie – a city center wedding at Leeds Cathedral

Tim and Ellie – a city center wedding at Leeds Cathedral

It was pretty short notice, but it's not every day you get the chance to shoot at a Cathedral! A few weeks ago I joined Shelly from Toast of Leeds to second shoot at Tim and Ellie's wedding in Leeds Cathedral. City center weddings also are a great opportunity for...

Lets go on holiday!

Lets go on holiday!

It's that time of year when I'm allowed out of the country - and being a fan of both wine and cheese, where better to go on holiday than France. Oh, and the kids had a ball. And we had fantastic weather! Sorchio!

Redlights – the offical photoshoot

Redlights – the offical photoshoot

I first met Redlights at Jack’s Bash, a fundraising event where they performed alongside other local artists Mayhem, Toby Burton and Jagged. It was a busy night for Redlights’ lead guitarist Joe, who also plays for Mayhem! I had offered a photo-shoot as a prize, and...

A Walk in Clumber Park with Emily

After having to abandon the first few attempts due to the classic British weather, we finally managed to take advantage of a sunny bank holiday Monday for Emily’s photoshoot. The setting was the magnificent Clumber Park in Nottinghamshire, a former private estate now...
