Burghley Wedding Show 6th Nov 2011

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.

New Year, new project?

Friday, January 7th, 2011

Happy New Year to you all, I hope everyone had a great time seeing in the New Year?

2011 looks as though it is going to been another great year at the studio with wedding bookings nearly reaching my set limit for the year. I believe in keeping the number of weddings I shoot a year to 25, this way I stay fresh and remain exclusive to my bride and grooms.

I also have a new project in the pipeline which I’m very excited about, it is a totally different direction for my photography, so watch out for updates over the next few weeks.

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!!!

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.

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.
