Trash The Dress - Part Two

Last night we were out and about with "the dress" again.

This is Donna , who kindly modelled for us.

Donna was introduced by a Jonathan of Hardings Bridal Cars in Northampton.

We are now looking for a model for the final session with this dress which we hope is going to be completely different.

Call us or contact us through the website if you would like to be our next Trash The Dress Model.










Once again many thanks to Donna for modelling and also Jonathan for the loan of his workshop.

Male Model Shoot

Friday morning we were out and about in Kettering shooting some images for a new website we will be launching soon.

We were after an Urban Grungey look to the shots.

This is what we came up with.

Trash The Dress Northampton

Wednesday night we were out and about in Northampton shooting our very first Trash The Dress session.

Trash The Dress isnt extreme as it sounds, we dont literally "Trash The Dress" it means we visit various locations not normally associated with everyday wedding photography and produce some stunning fashion oriented images.

If you still have your dress and would like to wear it again and have some wonderful and different images taken give us a call.

Many thanks to Zoe , we had great fun during the shoot.

Competition Win !!!

Yesterday I had the great honour to travel down to Uxbridge to collect a prize I had won.

I entered a competition through The Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers to win a Canon 5D kit worth 2500 pounds and I was the lucky winner.

Here I am accepting my prize from Phil Jones CEO and Director Juliet Jones of the SWPP.

I am so grateful to the SWPP for the prize and I shall put it to good use.

Also during the day I attended a seminar on Wedding photography by top Australian photographer Ryan Schembri. Ryan is only 24 years old but is producing some fantastic images.
