Gemma & John Leeson- Pre-Wedding Shoot

Gemma and John are due to get married at the Bridge Inn in Walshford later this year. We met up recently to shoot a pre-wedding photoshoot and finalise plans for the day. They make a great couple and I look forward to photographing their wedding.

A bit of time out!!

It has been quite a busy couple of months so when my mate asked me if I fancied a few days sailing up on the west coast of Scotland, there could only have been one response- Yes!!!

We took 5 days to sail around the Isle of Mull and some of the other outer islands. The weather was stunning, bright sunny days and a good wind to push us along. We sailed with dolphins and sailed along with a basking shark no more than four feet off the side of the boat!!

Attached is a small video that shows what I get up to when I am not behind the camera. We were just off Ardnamurchan Point which is the most westerly part of the UK (so I am told!) and only a few miles offshore from Glengorm Castle on the Isle of Mull. Glengorm Castle is one of my regular wedding venues that I photograph at so it was fun to give them a wave as I sailed by!!

Enjoy ;-)

Jillian & Damien Bechelli- Italy Wedding

It was another trip last week to the amazing Villa San Crispolto in the heart of Tuscany and Umbria. The setting of Marco's Romantic Italian Weddings just cannot be beaten and you never get tired of returning to such a beautiful part of Italy. Jillian and Damien had chosen the church of Santa Maria Nuova, which is set just outside the walls of Cortona amongst the rolling Tuscan Hills.

It was a warm welcome by Jillian and Damien and all their Scottish families, this set the scene for a fantastic day, some fantastic wedding photographs, kilts and all!!!!

Daz & Bex- Wedding in Cornwall

Last week I took the great trip to just short of Lands End to photograph Daz and Bex. These guys are not only clients but very good friends of mine and it was a real pleasure to photograph their wedding. We had an amazing fun day and got some amazing photos on the beach and in their trusty VW camper van called "Sherbie"!!!

The wedding was at the lovely Old Coastguard Hotel in Mousehole, Cornwall which is only a few miles away from Lands End. The venue makes a perfect wedding venue that lends itself to get some stunning wedding photography. The views at the hotel were amazing, straight out to sea, so I could not resist playing around with the flashes down on the beach!!! ;-)

Liz and Matthew Rees- Italy Wedding

It has been a busy few weeks buzzing back and forth from Italy. It is always a pleasure to return to Villa San Crispolto and work with Marco from Romantic Italian Weddings. This trip for the wedding of Matthew and Liz was no exception. The Cathedral of Cortona is one of the most amazing church venues and the welcome of the Italians is always second to none. Matthew and Liz enjoyed a spectacular day with their families and it was great to be part of that day.

The main photos will be in the Client Area soon, here are a few from the day.

Claire & Josh O'Neil- Wedding Goldsborough Hall

After what has been a very busy couple of weeks flying back and forwards from the UK and Italy it was nice to find myself at one of North Yorkshire's little gems of wedding venues, Goldsborough Hall. The wedding was for Claire and Josh O'Neil who had a beautiful sunny day for their wedding which gave us chance to make some lovely wedding photographs.

Claire and Josh are really made for each other, their was a lot of emotion on the day. Claire looked amazing on the day and everyone could see how proud Josh was to marry her. Here are a few of the photos from the day.

Carly & Iain- Wedding Sandon Hall

Carly and Iain recently were married at Sandon Hall in Staffordshire and I photographed their wedding for them. Sandon Hall is set in its own gardens with magnificent views making it it an amazing wedding venue. We had a great day, the remaining wedding photographs will be in the Client Area soon, here are a few for the time being.

Danijela & Darian- Italian Wedding

It was back over to the beautiful Villa San Crispolto last week to shoot Danijela and Darian's wedding in Cortona. They got married as part of the Romantic Italian Wedding package that we offer for our wedding photography. Cortona is a stunning walled town set on the Tuscany and Umbria border amongst beautiful rolling hills, amazing churches and olive groves.

Here are a few images from the day, there will be more images to follow.

Dionne and Matt- Pre Wedding Shoot

It was back over to Byland Abbey again in North Yorkshire for another pre-wedding photoshoot. Dionne and Matt are due to get married and have chosen me for their wedding photography. they hope to have time to grab some great shots in the grounds of Byland Abbey then later their reception will be held at the Watermill. Here is a photograph from the shoot with my usual favourite lighting set up for the Abbey!!

Three weddings, in two countries, in four days!!!

The last few days has been quite busy with three weddings in some amazing venues. Wednesday saw me back in Italy to photograph another Romantic Italian Wedding at Villa San Crispolto set in the Tuscany hills. A short flight back into the UK and I was set amongst the rolling hills of North Yorkshire at Jervaulx Abbey photographing the wedding of Debbie and Rob. My last venue was the dramatic setting of Sandon Hall in Staffordshire.

All three venues give great opportunities for some amazing wedding photography, I will update this page with some photographs from each venue in the next few days.
