Beverley & Dan

I've had a really busy couple of weeks with more wedding bookings being taken and two engagement photo shoots. Beverley and Dan were the first couple of the week and we met early Saturday morning to try and catch some early morning sunshine. They are a great couple and I felt really at ease with them and with the sun shining we had a great portrait session. Their wedding is in October and I am really looking forward to meeting up with them on their special day.

Kiss Wedding Albums

I am really excited to announce a partnership with Kiss Wedding Albums, which are now available for all my wedding and portrait photography clients starting from the amazing price of just £600.00. Each one of these amazing albums are unique as they are individually designed by me specifically for each client. The designs are then emailed to Kiss where each album is handcrafted at their base in California. These beautiful, contemporary and timeless albums are wrapped in 100% full-grain leather which is hand chosen for it's grains, strength and quality. They are available in 3 sizes, 8"x8", 10"x10" and 12"x12", 7 colours, voluptuous black, smouldering brown, virgin white, forbidden green, redlight red, passion pink and sultry blue and have a maximum size of 80 page sides. Each page is 2mm thick for extreme protection and durability of the album. The pages are bound in such a way that each and every page in the album will always fall flat and fully open, allowing you to enjoy the full beauty of the pictures from your wedding day.

Joshua and Friends

I snapped this of Joshua with his cuddly toy friends recently to try out my new lens. He was a great model and just lay there nice and patiently for Daddy!

Landcapes - Part 5

For the final post of the landscapes I've photographed, I have chosen this image of Aira Force waterfall, in the Lake District. Located at Ullswater, you get to the falls via a short walk up hill from the car park. The trail leads you up to the waterfall and then down the otherside and back to the car park. A perfect way to work up the appetite for that Lakes Sunday roast dinner!!!

Landscapes - Part 4

Day 4 - An aerial landscape shot from the Mina A'Salam resort at Jumairah Beach, Dubai stretching to Dubai Harbour in the distance. Note one of the towers on fire!!! Photographed from the top of the Burj Al Arab hotel at Jumairah Beach.
