Baptism in Hinckley, Leicestershire

I was asked by a client to record their Son’s Baptism at St. Peter’s R.C. Church in Hinckley, Leicestershire, but due to other commitments I was unable to attend.  However, they did request a home photoshoot, so I could capture thier Son in his Baptism Gown.  I thought this was such a fantastic way to capture a moment...

Elizabeth and Neil’s Pre-wedding Photoshoot at Tithe Barn, Market Bosworth, Warwickshire

It felt like summer had arrived as I approached the Tithe Barn Restaurant at the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre in  Market Bosworth, Warwickshire (www.bosworthbattlefield.com/visit/tithe_barn.htm).  The Tithe Barn Restaurant overlooks the beautiful country park where the famous Battle of 1485 took place.  The original barn was erected at Sandiacre in Derbyshire before being transported in early 2004, piece by piece, to...

Tara & Steve’s Pre-wedding Photoshoot in Sibson, Warwickshire

My children were invited to a friend’s Birthday Party at the Hollywood Bowl in Leicester (www.hollywoodbowl.co.uk/Our-Centres/Leicester.htm) and I...

I am...

Nicola and Mike’s Pre-wedding Photoshoot at Stanton Lakes, Stoney Stanton, Leicestershire

Part of my photographic process for a wedding is to have a pre-wedding photoshoot wherever possible.  A photoshoot prior to the Big Day has many benefits, not least of which is the opportunity for all of us to get to know each other and for the wedding couple to get used to having your photo taken.  Most people don’t like having...

Easter Bookings

  Over the last two weeks, I’ve had a number of Wedding Photography enquiries for 2011, which I’m hoping I can convert into bookings.  When a wedding couple ask me to photograph their big day, I feel a real pride that they love my images enough to want to commission me.  It’s hard not to take it personally when...
