Fun in the sun

What a wonderful day yesterday. It was sunny, hot, steamy, everything you don't want it to be really when you're dressed in tail coat, waistcoat, shirt and cravatte! So I take my metaphorical hat off to our groom Dave yesterday who kept the whole lot on all day, looked immaculate and was a joy to be around. Together with his bride Helena they make a fabulous couple and it really was a pleasure to share their wedding day.

Thanks to Chris and the team at Cave Castle who made everything run smoothly and kept us fed and watered all day.

Here is a selection of images from the day, many more to follow.

Recent Shoots

Out last week with the wonderful Heather, a new model, and someone we will certainly be working with in the future. She'll be appearing in some of our future courses so if you'd like to shoot some images likes these then give us a call.

I'll be shooting a number of model portfolios this summer too so if you or anyone you know wants to look amazing and kick start a career in the world of photography and fashion then get in touch.

Loads of shoots to come and a whole new website and blog before the end of July. New shoots will include the pre wedding shoot of Janne and Ed in York and images from the Lighting and Nude courses we've run recently. So keep visiting and if you'd like to attend one of our workshops or book a shoot don't hesitate to call.

Helloooo

Back again and once again apologies for a little delayed blogging action. A lack of posts doesn't signify a lack of activity, far from it in fact. We've got some amazing posts to come following our recent courses, pre wedding shoots and fashion shoots.

However these must wait a little while longer as it is the wedding of Nicky and Andy that takes precedence today. We had a beautiful day with them at Cave Castle yesterday. Thanks as always to Debbie and her team who made the day go like clockwork and the amazing Morris on piano who plays beautifully and is always a pleasure to listen to.

It was a true pleasure to share the day with such a wonderful group of people and I look forward to seeing Nicky and Andy again soon when they come back up to work on their newly developed passion for photography!

It seemed like the party was only just starting when I left at 10:30pm so hopefully there aren't too many people suffering ill effects this morning. See you soon guys and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day.

Oh Crikey

With family illness and work all competing for attention the blog has slipped and for your concerns I'm grateful. We are all still here and much appreciating your best wishes.


Life and Art will always prevail however and we've still been busy. We've had some cracking pre weds of late, first up are Andy and Nicki who came up to Hull from Southampton for their Pre Wed Shoot. They were such fun I can't wait f
or their wedding day at the Cave Castle, going to be fab.

Why I love shooting weddings

I love my work so much for so many reasons. Not least because it involves me in weddings and weddings are fab. Generally it gives me the opportunity to be in the middle of gorgeous events, in gorgeous settings with gorgeous people.

Never more so than yesterday when I shared the wedding day of Jon and Karen at the Red Lion in Burnsall. The sun shone on us and we had a ball. In fact they're probably still having it but I had to come away eventually!

Enjoy the small taster presented here. More will be online soon. Thanks as always to Sarah and her team for making the day go like clockwork and for producing a beautiful meal of beef and Yorkshire puds. Did I mention food as one of the reasons I love my work?


Away Today

I'm off up the Dales again today to the Red Lion at Burnsall for the weddding of Karen and Jon. They're a beautiful couple who I had the pleasure of shooting their pre wed in Hull a couple of months ago. We had a blast that day and I expect nothing less from today!

In the week I had a first shoot at our new training venue in Barton upon Humber. It's a beautiful country house called Bardney Hall. We feel deeply fortunate to be working closely with the owner Colin and his staff there. Whenever you come on our courses there you know that as well as some amazing locations and photographic opportunities, you will be superbly fed in magnificent surroundings.

Our two models on Tuesday, Janey and Laura were wonderful. Worked hard, looked gorgeous and never complained about my feeble jokes. If you want to try your hand at shooting a portfolio or just looking fabulous then give us a call.

Anyway the bags are packed and the highway is calling so back tomorrow with some wedding pictures.
