Debbie & Phil’s wedding at Oulton Hall

After the heavy rain of the last couple of days, it was good to see the blue skies and sunshine once again in time for Debbie and Phil’s wedding at Oulton Hall today. Although the weather went to plan, the bridal preps ran into rougher waters which really cut down on the bridal portrait shots, but we managed to snatch  just a few before heading down to the Repton Room for the ceremony which was put back from its original 12:00 slot to 12:30. No worries though, everything went to plan from there on and, after shooting the formals, we set about some fun shots with the bride and groom. After the wedding breakfast we had another short session in simply gorgeous evening sunshine and dark skies where I took the opportunity of shooting some high fashion images of the bridesmaids and the guests as well as the bride and groom. We then sneaked off to the bridal suite to shoot Debbie looking like the cat’s pyjamas in her couture fascinator, made from the material of her wedding dress, which she was due to wear instead of the veil throughout the evening celebrations.

Oulton Hall is a cracking venue for a wedding and if you would like me to capture some stunning images of your wedding there, just call me on 01924 229800 or visit the wedding pages for details.

Celtic Eclectic headshots

Today I was shooting author, poet and performer David Jones for his new website ‘Celtic Eclectic’. The brief was for some simple headshots on plain backgrounds that could be used on the website as straight images or as cutouts. I used some simple lighting set-ups to get the images but there’s a lot of character in David’s face and it would have been cool to shoot in some context related environments. Here’s a couple of shots from the session but they really need to be seen large to appreciate the detail in the shots. This has got me thinking about changing the blog theme so that I can put much larger images up.

If you’re an actor or performer in need of headshots, call me on 01924 229800 to discuss your shoot.

Kelly & Matt’s wedding at Gomersall Park Hotel

Kelly & Matt were married at St Paul’s Church, Hanging Heaton and then moved on to Gomersall Park Hotel for their reception on yet another sunny summer’s day. They made the journey from the church in a wonderful old post war Wolseley arriving for reception drinks on the terrace with the guests in glorious sunshine. Following the formals we headed off across the somewhat boggy lawn for the bridal party shoot before ending up shooting Matt and Kelly around the grounds and in a few of my favourite spots at the hotel. Just as we were about to shoot some evening images in and around the hotel lounge, the sky went ominously dark and a superb rainbow appeared. Needless to say we dashed outside to capture that on film!

Chris & Amy’s wedding at Nostell Priory

My first wedding shoot at this spectacular location, though blog followers will know that I shoot a lot of other stuff for the National Trust here. I have to say, I was panicking a bit about the forecast for today’s wedding at Nostell Priory but I needn’t have worried, it turned out fine again and we were able to shoot outdoors without the brollies I had packed. The bridal prep shots were done at Amy’s parents’ house in South Elmsall before heading on to Nostell Priory to shoot Chris and the boys ahead of Amy’s arrival. Due to a glitch in the timings however, the bride was late and the wedding, which was scheduled for 12:30, didn’t take place until 13:30 when a second set of registrars were sent for as ours had to head off to their next wedding at Wentbridge House! Every cloud has a silver lining though and the delay gave me an extra opportunity with the bride which we made the most of down by the lake :¬) The rest of the day went off pretty well as planned with the huge Welsh contingent enjoying the Yorkshire summer sunshine. Here are a few images, more to come but I have to charge batteries and polish lenses for tomorrow’s wedding at Gomersall Park.

To book me for your Nostell Priory wedding or the venue of your choice, just call me on 01924 229800 or go to the wedding pages for more information.

Debbie & Phil pre-wedding shoot

Following on from today’s studio session, I went out to meet Debbie & Phil for a pre-wedding meeting ahead of their Oulton Hall wedding next week. My current work schedule over the past few months has meant that all my pre-wedding shoots have been cutting it fine to say the least! The weather was superb with some low evening sunshine and definitely an autimn nip in the air too – if we get an evening like this next Friday on their big day I will be a happy chappy indeed! These two claim to have been together for 13 years and hardly a photo to show for it so we made a start this evening by shooting around the museum gardens at Kirkstall and I can’t wait to shoot them in the grandeur of Oulton Hall :¬)

To book me for your Oulton Hall wedding or any other venue, call 01924 229800 or visit the wedding pages for more details.
