Met up with Laura and Jason at the end of a very busy weekend of weddings and pre wedding shoots to go through their wedding plans and also have a photoshoot with them. We intended to meet at Pontefract Park as they headed back to Bradford after a visit to York, but unbeknown to me it was Pontefract races so the area was chokka block with folks. A quick detour and we were at Nostell Priory instead and went through the wedding plans before shooting in the grounds of Wragby church.  Laura and Jason were great fun but they are a challenge as there is a huge difference in height between the two. Best get my thinking cap on before their big day at Cedar Court, Bradford next month ;¬)

Chris and Amy vacated south Wales, where they currently live, to head north to Yorkshire to visit Amy’s parents for the weekend. As we’ve all got some busy weekends ahead of us before their big day at Nostell Priory in August, we decided to meet up for a pre-wedding photo-fest while we had time. The rendezvous was a car park at a local woodland from where we headed along the pathway to an open glade that I really like. The tree canopy gave us some lovely open shade away from the bright sunshine and its really hard to beat open shade for photos, especially if you can soften the shadows with a bit of subtle fill. These two guys were not phased by the camera and we got some cracking relaxed portraits of them and I have high hopes of repeating it on August 21st at Nostell Priory. I just hope today’s weather can repeat itself too :¬)

If you’d like to book me your wedding call 01924 229800 or visit the website for more details.

Only a week after the pre-wedding shoot I was back with David and Emma for their big day at Oakwood Hall, Bingley - a new venue for me. The couple were married on a glorious summer day at St Mary’s church, Gomersall before heading off in a vintage Buick to Oakwood Hall via Baildon Moor and some spectacular scenery. Oakwood was a great place to shoot and its dark, oak panelled interior really appealed to me as I love doing the atmospheric low key flash shots after the wedding breakfast but the grounds are really good too. All in all, plenty of photo opportunities for the creative photographer and I hope I can get another gig there soon. David and Emma were both up for the shoot and really got into the interior shots in the evening. A few shots here for now but maybe more to come, though its another busy weekend with two weddings under the belt already and two pre-wedding shoots still to come!

If you want to book me for your Oakwood Hall wedding or indeed any wedding, just call on 01924 229800 or go to the wedding pages.

The Bridge Inn proved to be a real sun trap today. Despite the original forecast earlier in the week for heavy rain, it was a real scorcher for Rachel & Stephen’s wedding and the guests enjoyed a great day in the summer sunshine from arrival to the BBQ in the evening. Having done a pre-wedding shoot with Westy & Rachel earlier in the week, I knew we would come up with some great images although at times it was a panic as timings were very tight particularly for the bridal preparations. Another photographer once said to me the Bridge Inn was a difficult venue as there’s not much scope for photography. For the less experienced shooter this may be the case, though I think we managed admirably and here are a few images to prove it :)

To book me for your wedding, just call on 01924 229800 to book an appointment to see some work or just visit the wedding pages for more details.

A quick press style photo shoot for Simon Wilkes of  The Wilkes Group who has just landed a contract with Prince Charles’ privately run company Duchy of Cornwall to supply weter coolers on the Duchy estate. The full story will be in the Wakefield Express but you get a heads up here first :)

Here are a few images of gothic model Calamity Vain taken inside a beautiful old church on the outskirts of Bristol. The gothic arches and stone pillars made a superb backdrop to the photos and the long heavy dresses were killer and just so right for the shoot. I used some very low key lighting to give the images a Byronesque feel of gothic romance and sorrowful desolation. Got to dig out something suitable from My Dying Bride or The Sins of Thy Beloved while I finish the edit. I do so love a bit of a Gothic metal soundtrack while I work.

It was great to see former work colleagues Rachel and Westy again as its been a while since we spoke - Westy was one of my team members back in the dark, dismal days of a regular IT job - and today we did a last minute meet up ahead of Friday’s big day at The Bridge Inn, Wetherby. After chatting about life at the old office and then going through the schedule of the wedding, we had a bit of a shoot-out in the formal gardens I used for a pre-wedding only last week;  told you I’d be back there soon! Turns out they are only a few mins drive from where Westy & Rachel live in any case. The harsh sun was a bit of a problem but according to the forecast, its one problem I won’t have on the day :¬\

Lots of shots to go at but as always a few teasers below. Watch out for the images from their big day on the blog at the weekend!

Yet another cutting it fine pre-wedding shoot! David and Emma are getting married this coming Saturday at St Mary’s Church, Gomersall and then on to Oakwood Hall, Bingley. Oakwood is a new venue for me so I’m looking forward to shooting there and I’m keeping my fingers crossed about the weather - the long range forecast doesn’t look brilliant :¬\ Although Oakwood will be a new venue for me, David and Emma are familiar faces as we had a baby bump shoot together almost 6 months ago now! Scary where the time has gone really and their wedding day has just flown round. I’m really looking forward to their wedding because I go on holiday two days after and I soooo need a break right now!

It was nearly 12 months ago when I photographed Lucy & Robert’s wedding at Mosborough Hall, Sheffield and today they were in the studio with a new addition to the family - young Jack. After a good feed, Jack was well up for a bit of a photo shoot with mum and dad and we have some really nice images to choose from. The shoot was a suprise for Robert’s 30th birthday. Great stuff!

If you’d like a family shoot, just call me on 01924 229800 or visit the website for more details.

Jason & Nelly were married at the Kingdom Hall, Wakefield followed by a reception at Hatfield Hall (NormantonGolf Club) at Stanley, Wakefield. The weather held off for most of the morning and we managed to dodge a few showers leading up to the wedding breakfast but we were treated to some spectacular evening sunshine in the early evening when we did a few more shots of the couple. The whole day went off without a hitch and I met up with lots of familiar faces from previous weddings that I have photographed for Nelly & Jason’s friends. The bridesmaids were incorrigible towards the end of the day and we had great fun larking around with them - great stuff girls!
