Nottingham Castle

On Wednesday I travelled up to Nottingham to meet a group of photographers for a Bridal Shoot at Nottingham Castle.

It was organised by photographer Crash Taylor from Nottingham and we had a fantastic time around the castle photographing Becki the model.

David Beckstead Workshop

Last week I spent 3 days in London with a photographer called David Beckstead.

David is an amazing wedding photographer from America and is acclaimed to be one of the Top Ten Wedding Photographers in the world.

A small group of 15 photographers from as far away as France, Ireland and South Africa came together to work with David for 3 intensive days.

Here are a few of the images taken.

A larger selection can been seen on the main website in the Trash The Dress section.

Trash The Dress - Northampton

On Sunday we had a Trash The Dress session at Sywell Country Park near Northampton.

The session had been arranged 2 months in advance due to work committments and we were planning to have a great day out with Jess the model and a handful of local photographers.

On the day the good old British Weather done its worse and it must have been the wettest Sunday all summer!!!!!!!!

But Jess was a real trooper and the weather didnt deter her (or her Mum), and we had a blast!!!!!

Whatever was asked of her she done with such enthusiasm.

Here are just a few images from the day.

I would also like to thank the other 3 photographers Carole, Sarah and Nigel who braved the elements also.

It was a great day.

More images from the day are available to view on the website in the Trash The Dress section.

Out and about with Katrina during the week trying out a few different techniques including using the video light at dusk.

Busy Weekend

This weekend was extremely busy.

First off on Friday we photographed Louise and Matthews wedding which was held at The Orangery Whittlebury Park.

The weather was glorious with bright sunshine through the day with the exception of a short cloud burst later on. But that was no problem as the couple were sitting down to their meal by then.

Matthew arrived in style to the venue in a flash Audi R8 much to the delight of Louise who is a Motorsport and F1 fan,

Heres a short video





The second wedding of the weekend was Gareth and Stacey.

This couple were great !!! Always up for a laugh and willing to go the extra mile for some stunning images.

They were married at Hellidon Lakes near Daventry.
