Just before the end of 2011, I had the privilege of being a part of a very special shoot indeed. Katie Stevenson, whose immediate family I’d had the pleasure of shooting just over a year prior, contacted me to arrange a special gift for her mother who is currently battling [...]
Wedding Photography or photography alltogether is, and forgive me for being cliché, both a science & an art, and for ages I’ve been wanting to write a sure-fire post, a post that is guaranteed to produce results as long as you follow the instructions, and with that I decided to [...]
Jenna & Simon celebrated their wedding day at the fabulous Newstead Priory, near the small Lincolnshire town of Brigg. The day ended up being so beautiful, despite the weather looking a bit glum on our way to meet Jenna. The wedding was small, intimate, full of warmth & love – [...]

Mina & Sam’s wedding at the very, incredibly, stunning & grand Knowsley Hall in Knowsley was, to say the least, spectacular! Knowsley Hall is so grand, you’re not even allowed to take photo’s of any of the rooms unless someone is in the picture! Each room was bursting at the [...]

Few couples have I ever met with such a zest for life, as Zoe & Barry – as you’ll see from these upcoming images – (a small selection of my favourites from their pre-wedding shoot) – they love to laugh, they love life and more evidently, they LOVE each other [...]
To say, Hayley & Ryan’s wedding at the Wentbridge House Hotel, Pontefract was absolutely amazing – would be an understatement!

A couple of weeks ago – we had the honour & privilege of shooting at Vix & Dan’s amazing hand-made wedding at The Coniston Hotel, Skipton, North Yorkshire! It’s certainly true, no two weddings are ever quite the same – but Vix & Dan’s was both refreshing & inspiring with [...]

For my pre-wedding shoot with Suzanne & Neil, we arranged to meet at the stunning Bolton Abbey! Both Suzanne & Neil were fantastic & I had a great time! I’m sure Neil won’t mind me saying, he was a little camera shy to begin with, but as you’ll see from [...]
I couldn’t help getting excited while driving out to meet Kate & John at their wonderful home in Wilsden, the area & scenery was fantastic & a great place for our pre-wedding shoot! As you can see from the images we all had a great time, Kate & John, who’s [...]

Breaking the Rules? For any photographer reading this, you may well have heard the following at some point in your learning, “Don’t shoot into the light! It’ll ruin your photo by decreasing contrast & most likely adding a lot of unwanted flair!” I know that when I first started out [...]
