The Ring Bearer
The bride and groom are always the focus of attention. It goes without saying, really. However, it’s all too easy to become blind to anything other than the bride and groom, which is a real shame.
THAT Look – Contemporary Portraiture
Portraits. Child portraits. Pretty synonymous with THAT studio. You know the one, with the blown out look and vivid colours and blah blah blah. Not my cup of tea, I have to say. It’s not something I’ve done, and I had no intention of “doing”. ok, so what happened?
Naturally Lit. No, really!
Nothing looks more natural, than natural light, right? Well, sorta. I often have the idea a beautiful young bride would look great with no more light than whatever’s available from the window. You know, natural like.
Portraits
Location portraits, I love them. This may look like a studio portrait, but it was actually taken in the front room of her house. ok, so I may have a few problems to solve when arriving at the chosen venue, but I find I get images that show more of the subject’s character.
Church Interior – St. leonard’s, Walton-le-Dale
I’m quite torn as to my preference for wedding services. Hotels are great! Most times the bride and groom are staying at the hotel before the service, they’re having the ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception there. Isn’t that wonderful!

Lytham Proms 2010
Lytham Proms 2010 was organised by Passion 4 Events for Cuffe and Taylor, and organised it certainly was! 5,000 guests plus VIPs and headlining guests including Lesley Garrett, Joanne Marie, Chloe Walker, Caroline Hunt, Beverley Alexander and more. And what an evening it turned out to be…..
The Window – Rosehill House Hotel, Burnley – Lancashire
A rather large stained glass window, at the top of the stairs. You just can’t ignore a setting like that, it would be unjust. However, it isn’t that late and it didn’t actually present as subdued as it looks here.
Stretched Limousine
Ever seen inside a stretched limousine? No? Well, neither had I until working on a portfolio for an exclusive wedding venue. Besides a number of bridal portraits in various locations within the venue, there were also a couple of stretched limousines parked outside. Not one to waste an opportunity……….. 🙂
KTM Riding Rough
I was asked to get some images of White Power Suspension products in action during the MotoX des Nations. This proved to be a very enjoyable assignment, as I was also asked to provide images for a couple of magazines and ad agency. So, to actually manage to roll four assignments into one trip was quite a feat. Hmmmm, haven't managed it since though! I
Just one click! – Wedding Photography at the Alma Inn, Laneshawbridge
I’ve been told I’m observant, and I suppose as a photographer, we should excel at observation. This is a good example of an opportunity that arose purely by accident, and was taken on a whim.
