Sandrine & Chris wedding at Barrington Hall, Cambridge

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

I had another great time yesterday at the wedding of Sandrine and Chris at the beautiful Barrington Hall near Cambridge. It was a unique wedding as a lot of Sandrines family had travelled from France and both the service and speeches were repeated in both English and French. I felt relatively fresh after a twelve hour day, as I had met Chris at Barrington at 9am for the groom preparation shots and took the last image at 8:45pm when Samdrine and Chris had their first dance, a really cool latin number.

Rutland Views

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

I was recently asked by the manager of Normanton Park Hotel to capture scenic views of Rutland which will be framed and displayed in the hotels bedrooms. I was given a list of potential sites and after planning a route set off for two days of fun and exploring. Here are just a few of the sites I shot on the trip.

Stephanie & Doug’s Wedding at Hambleton Hall

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

I had the pleasure in photographing the wedding of Stephanie and Doug at Hambleton Hall on Sunday and what a fantastic day it was. I really do think I have one of the best jobs in the world and always look forward to shooting a wedding at Hambleton Hall, with it’s stunning views and amazing gardens. My brief for the day was slightly different from most weddings as it was purely reportage with no set up shots at all which gave me full freedom to roam and shoot naturally. We went for a walk in the gardens and I left all the posed shots to my young assistant Tino, who will one day make an amazing photographer.

Ailish Morton Lifestyle

Friday, June 25th, 2010

I know Ailish’s parents through the wedding world and this shoot was a present from them for finisher her exams. We spent three hours trekking around the Cambridgshire countryside exploring various areas that I pass when I go running. Ailish wanted some very natural shots and we decided to keep a more country feel to the session with the odd urban background for contrast.

Bradford Family Lifestyle

Monday, June 21st, 2010

I had my work cut out on Friday when I photographed the Bradford family and had to try and keep up with young Charlie who was a real live wire. We decided to hold the shoot in Priory Park near St Neots as there is a great play area for the children to play in a plenty of space for them to run around. I would say this shoot was the most challenging of the year so far, but we got some great natural shots of the children having fun and I’m sure mum and dad will love them.

Monster Truck Nationals at Santa Pod

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

Apparently change is good?? So when I got asked to go to Santa Pod and watch the MonsterTrucks racing, I jumped at the chance to take my camera and get some shots. Wow, those beasts can do some damage and I would recommend a day at the truck races to anyone.

Sharon & Dave Pre Wedding Shoot

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

We had more nice weather today for the pre wedding shoot of Sharon and Dave. The couple were great fun to work with and seemed to really enjoy themselves whilst I dragged them around Fenstanton. The happy couple are getting married in April at Hinchingbroke House near Huntingdon and I’m sure the day is going to be a real blast and so much fun to shoot.
