Wedding Day for Jennifer & James

I woke up Saturday morning expecting to be doing most of my photography indoors. Instead what a glorious day, bright sunshine a little cold but hey I wasn't going to complain.

I arrived at Jennifer's parents house and greeted with a warm welcome, so out came the camera and I made a start recording their special day.


Its all in order .............

The gifts ........................

Last minuet touch up ....................

The church of St Nicholas Mavesyn Ridware ...........

The best man remembered the rings :-) ........

James nice and relaxed ...........

I shot from the back of the church and the low sun shone through the windows creating some lovely shadows ..........

The first kiss ..............

My assistant Amy managed to get this shot on the way to the reception, Somehow we ended up behind the wedding car ..................

Whilst waiting for the remaining guest to arrive we started to do the bridal portraits, This was one of my faves.

Together at last ...............

Sandon Hall at dusk, This was one of Jennifer requested shots, I will save the rest for their return.

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of you special day and giving me the time on the day. All the best for the future, oh and thanks to Lesley and Deborah for the help with the dress.

Steve.

One bit of news, I have just taken delivery of a new album that I'm really excited about, we will be showing this at all the forthcoming bridal shows dates and venues will follow.

Wedding Day for Helen & Johnathan

The wedding of Helen & Johnathan took place at Somerford Hall, built in 1730 in the classic Palladian style of the time and contains a variety of interesting architectural detail such as the original ornate plasterwork in the hallway and a wonderful galleried oak staircase.
The couple gave me more time than I could have dreamt of for photographs and I made the most of it ensuring they had great pictures from the day.
I started with the bridal preps and finished with the first dance in the early evening. I have posted a few faves from the day. Just like to wish you both all the best for the future and thanks for letting me be a part of your special day. And a big hello to Johnathan's family (in their words) across the pond..... :-)

Models & Portraits

Whilst blogging my model shoot from Birmingham Last Sunday I remembered I did these shots of Nadia At our studio Near Milford a couple of weeks back. So here are a few of my Faves from Nadia's Shoot.

Model shoot Birmingham

Here a few shots from Sunday in Birmingham. Models for the day Ellie & Laura , I have to say a big thank you to the girls because it was extremely hot on Sunday and not once did they complain. Myself along with some other photographs went to Birmingham for a days shooting, its nice to get out now and again and do things for yourself and experiment with different lighting techniques an so on. Also thanks to Gill for putting the day together.



Sometimes it is good to come out of your comfort zone !

Mark & Joanne

Just wanted to post a few images from last Saturdays wedding.
Joanne & Mark civil ceremony took place at the Moat house Acton Trussell,the weather on the day wasn't great but this wasn't going to spoil their special day. After the ceremony the weather was kind enough just to let us go outside for all the pictures and some fun. I have posted a few of my faves from the day.
Good look for the future guys hope you have a long and happy life together.

P.S great taste in music ;)

See you both soon.

Watch Me Grow

Two years ago I set up the watch me grow package, this is a year in the life of a new baby photographed at regular intervals throughout the first 12 months. As a qualified member of the Master Photographers association I was approached to take on clients from a company that had stopped trading. Over the past 12 months the WMG has gone form strength to strength and for anyone looking for the ideal gift for a new parent or Christening gift this definitely ticks all the boxes. Here is my first client K and she has not only done the 12 months but has come back for her second birthday. I cannot believe how fast the time has gone and also how much she has changed. If you are interested in the WMG package please give me a call, the price for this package is £35.00 and also includes free gifts.

K on her first session.

K on session number 2 around three months after the first one and already a big change.

K on number 3 now around 40 weeks old and starting to model hats.

4th and final session on the WMG package. At 1 year, a little more tricky to photograph as at this age they realise its fun to move around or turn away just as i press the shutter button.

And this is K at 2 years, from these you can see just how much a child changes and develops in a very short space of time, these moments are so precious and K's parents will have a good record of the early years thanks to the WMG package.
