Job Satisfaction

I do love my job! I get to capture wonderful moments in peoples lives which can only be the most positive experience! Whilst every photograph taken is to be a very special one, sometimes I take one that can even warm the cockles of my heart! Here are two from a recent baby photo shoot that just make me smile!!!

Enjoy :-)

Alex Lovell

Alex is a television presenter who works in differing roles, my brief was to capture the personality of Alex. Now some may say that is quite a wide brief to work to! When you meet Alex, her personality is infectious and that made getting good pictures so much more fun!!

Below is one of my favourite images of Alex as it shows her in a quieter, calmer environment than the usual extrovert nature of a television presenter! I look forward to working with her again soon!

Byland Abbey- Helen and Jim Moore

This has to be one of the best settings for my weddings this year!!! Byland Abbey gave the most amazing backdrop for photographs at the wedding of Helen and Jim. They were married at the Golden Fleece in Thirsk then onto Byland Abbey for the wedding photographs. We were so lucky with the weather, the rain kept off and a fun day was had by all!!

The photos will be going online after I have met up with Helen and Jim to show them the photos first!! Here are a few to have a look at for now.

Chris and Ruth's Wedding

Congratulations to Chris and Ruth on their wedding last week at Leeds Cathedral then onto Bagden Hall. It was a great day with some fantastic wedding photographs set in the gardens of Bagden.  The photographs are now ready for Chris and Ruth to view then they will be uploaded onto the website. Just for a quick peak, here is one I prepared earlier!!!

Steve and Deanna's Wedding

After all the recent rain both Steve and Deanna were so lucky to have one of the best days for ages! Their wedding at St Johns Church at Knaresborough then onto the Sun Pavilion in Harrogate was the perfect setting for a perfect day. They are truly a special couple who are perfect together and that can be seen in the photos.

Whilst they are on honeymoon I will edit the rest of the images and the photos will be online when they return.

Gemma and Ben

It was a beautiful wedding for Gemma and Ben at Headlam Hall near Darlington. We were very lucky with the weather which made for some stunning photographs. It was a very emotional day for them both and I cannot wait for them to see the photos. They will be online for viewing after we have met up, here are a few to see what is in store!

Beautiful Beatrice.

It was a great pleasure to photograph Sarah and her family last weekend. I have followed the family through Sarah's pregnancy with Beatrice, just born and now finally nine months on. This has given the family some fantastic photographic memories through one of the most special moments in a families life.

I look forward to showing the remainder of the images to the family as I know they will treasure them forever.

BBQ Season!!!

Last night I went round to my mate Dave the Chef's house for a BBQ and a Peroni or two. One of Dave's favourite chefs is Gordon Ramsey so we couldn't resist a quick photo to give Dave his own "F Word" style photo. Once again a perfect example of a character portrait!!

Baxter

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing Baxter with his mum Sophie. Right from the start of the shoot you could see the connection between mum and son and I wanted to capture that on camera. 

The images were taken using natural light in Sophie's living room. Baxter was a star and fell asleep halfway through which made my job easier and made some wonderful photos.

Photographing villas in Croatia

When people found out I was going to Croatia to "work" no-one would believe me!! So i thought i have to put some photos on to prove that I was there for a purpose. This is one of the villas, Villa Vista and some shots of nearby Porec that I had to photograph. I think you would agree this is a beautiful place and thank you to the client Rob and Petra for the opportunity. I went with my trusty friend and fellow photographer Glyn, my brief was to capture the detail of the villa and Glyn took wider aspects of the villas.
