I am so looking forward to the Essential Wedding Show at Burghley House on Sunday, 6th November from 10:00 until 4:30. The show attracts some of the best wedding suppliers from all over the UK and should prove to be a great day for both bride and grooms and the suppliers present. The show will be featured on Wedding TV - Freesat 400 or Sky 266. I must say a big thank you to all the guys at EME who organise the day.

Amanda & Darren’s wedding at Barnsdale Hall, Oakham

Monday, September 26th, 2011

Saturday was a fun and eventful day, which started off with us covering the wedding of Amanda and Darren at Barnsdale Hall in Rutland and ended up with us sat on the A1 with a shredded tyre!! With a great venue and some glorious weather, this was always going to be a wedding to remember. The last few hours on the A1 will soon be forgotten and we’ll be left with some beautiful and intimate images of a fun couple enjoying an amazing day and one I’m proud to have been a part of. I won’t forget the young bridesmaids playing with the reserved sign outside of the church, it started with the words ‘wedding’ but ended up saying ‘funeral’, it did make me laugh.

Normanton Park Hotel Wedding

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

I’m all set for tomorrows wedding of Jayne and Andy at Normanton Park Hotel near Oakham, Rutland. Just spoken to Jayne and she is relaxing at the hotel while Andy is off playing golf with his mates. The weather is looking reasonable and Normanton Park Hotel is set on the edge of Rutland water with stunning views and beautiful surroundings, so all in all, it should be a good day

Amanda & Darren pre wedding shoot

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

After a busy weekend, it was nice to start the week with an easy pre wedding shoot with Amanda and Darren, who will be getting married at the beautiful Barnsdale Hall Hotel later in the year. Barnsdale Hall is set on a hill over looking Rutland water. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, the Hall is a perfect setting for some stunning wedding images with such a fun couple.

2011 wedding bookings

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

Yet another great week at the studio with two new Queensberry album designs completed and four more confirmed bookings for 2011 and 2012 weddings. I shoot a maximum of 25 weddings a year to ensure I keep my business exclusive and more importantly, to keep me fresh and inspired. Wedding photography is a passion for me, a lifestyle rather than a job and I feel that taking to many wedding bookings each year could turn my love of weddings in to a production line!!!

Hambleton Hall Pre Wedding

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

I shot the pre wedding session of Stephanie and Doug at Hambleton Hall yesterday. Hambleton Hall is situated on a peninsular of Rutland water and commands both beautiful views of the lake and surrounding countryside.  I am going to shoot Stephanie and Dougs wedding in a totally different style to most and probably won’t say a word to them all day. I will definitely be utilising a full documentary or fly on the wall style of photography which will test my artistic flare and ability to capture the essence of the day.

Wedding Fairs

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

I will be exhibiting at two more weddings fairs over the next few months. The first is at Wood Green, near Huntingdon on the 28th Feb from 11am until 4pm. The second will be at Normanton Park Hotel on the South Shore of Rutland water near Oakham on the 28th March. Going on past experience, both shows should prove very useful for next years bookings.

Normanton Park Hotel, Rutland

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

Yesterday I photographed the new conservatory at Normanton Park Hotel in Rutland. Normanton Park is situated on the edge of Rutland water, nestled  in trees making it a beautiful settings for a wedding. The new conservatory has a lake view and will no doubt prove very popular this summer. I always relish shooting weddings at Normanton as I always get a very warm welcome from the hotel staff and there are endless opportunities to capture stunning images in the extensive grounds.

Karen & Bram Wedding

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

I shot my first wedding of the year yesterday at Hambleton Hall near Oakham in Rutland. I must admit I arrived with some relief for the wedding of Karen and Bram after a stressful drive in the severe snowy conditions. The Hall looked beautiful covered in snow and Karen and Bram where both up for some fun and we had a great time outside playing in the snow. I must say what a great shot Karen’s sister Rachel is with a snowball and I was lucky enough to capture a shot as a perfectly aimed snowball hit Karen on the back of the head, happily she saw the funny side!!
