Gorgeous Pre-Wedding Shoot With Doggies! – Bradgate Park

I’m photographing Fiona & Darren’s Wedding this July at The Botanical Gardens in Sheffield and I really can’t wait. When we were discussing locations for their pre-wedding couple shoot, they mentioned the possibility of bringing their pooches along… having a slightly nutty, large, puppy of my own I loved the idea. They were so well behaved… and so were the dogs ;)

Bradgate park is such a gorgeous place to photograph in, stunning trees, free roaming deer, ruins, rocks… the list is endless. So meet Fiona, Darren, Oscar & Ebony…

Northampton Couple Shoot – Tattoos, Pink Hair & Hay Bales

Back when it was cold and snowy I launched a promotion on Facebook to win a couple shoot. I’ve already shot the runners up Jooles & Carl who won a  half price shoot. Now I have photographed the winners Sara & Tim! They’d just got back from a lovely 3 week holiday in Thailand (jealous, much?!) and really wanted to show off their style and tattoos for the shoot.

It was a gorgeous day, with the odd bout of rain and we ventured off into the countryside…. Sara & Tim were awesome and loads of fun…

Islington Town Hall Wedding & Super Cool Camden

I first shot with Eliza Claire in August last year and we hit it off from day 1! I was really looking forward to photographing with her again this year and Jonathan & Kate’s wedding was the perfect one to start with!! We were working alongside the girls from Reel Love Films, who were brilliant! Hope our paths cross again soon at another wedding. Kate & Jonathan were properly made for each other, I’ve never seen such massive smiles all day.

They were married in the beautiful Islington Town Hall and then onto The Prince Albert pub in Camden, which was to die for… I couldn’t quite get enough of all the awesome lights and little touches here and there. The food was delicious and staff super friendly.

Kate’s speech was the tear-jerker… absolutely amazing and not a dry eye in the house. Anyway that’s enough from me, here is their story in pictures…

Family Lifestyle Shoot – Beautiful Yellow Fields

I’ve been watching the rapeseed growing from the tiniest little sprouts over the last few weeks whilst walking my pooch Rocco. I’d also started planning an attempt to get some nice family pictures for myself, so after a quick recce on this morning’s walk I text James and told him that today was the day we were all going up armed with my 5DmkII, a tripod, the kids and even Rocco for some shots!

So after the school run off we all went, it was cloudy but sunny and UK Weather website promised me it would stay that way from 4pm… it didn’t… hale stones and rain descended, but we’d done most of the shots by the time it did. We barely saw the dog as he quite enjoyed charging up and down the tractor tracks or springing like a gazelle through the field.

Photographing yourself with your family with a tripod is not the easiest task!! however, here they are in all the bright yellow glory! if you’d like a family or couple shoot in the country (or anywhere else for that matter!) then give me a shout.

Red Rock Clothing & Xyra!

About a year ago I photographed a very gorgeous local lady who was crowned Miss Northampton, you can see the blog here… then a few weeks ago Nadina got in touch about photographing her girl band Xyra donning the cool clothing of Red Rock. We had about 1.5hrs, 5 girls and a university stair well to produce some shots, the girls were awesome and loads of fun, here are some from the shoot:
