Tina & James at Moxhull Hall

Tina and James were married in the beautiful grounds of Moxhull Hall just as spring began.

Moxhull always looks great and with Tina’s and James eye for detail the day was stunning, I especially enjoyed the mini-photos of every guest as table place names!

Tina & James – Congratulations on a wonderful wedding.

Cassie and Rob’s rainy engagement shoot ….

It was lovely to see Cassie and Rob again before the wedding at the Curradine Barns.

We headed on down to the disused railway station at Lower green Tettenhall and along the canal next door, a little bit of a shame about the weather but we still managed lots of lovely photos!!

Emma and Matt at Fazeley studios – Birmingham

Emma and Matt at Fazeley studios in Birmingham. I had an awesome time photographing Emma and Matt’s wedding at the end of April.  I think every couple should have a table football set up just in case there is an delay and the groom needs to kill some time! there were loads of great touches to there wedding including the Choccywoccydoodah wedding cake a bridesmaids wearing Tom’s shoes ( one of my favourite brands ) and of course the album cover table names …

Congratulations to the ever lovely Emma and Matt on a fab wedding day..

Alison and Paul at the Church at Junction 10 and Patshull hall

Alison and Paul were married at  the church at Junction 10 and had a reception in the beautiful Patshull hall.

The Service at Junction 10 was fabulous &  music and singing made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up..I hope I get to photograph there again soon!

Patshull hall was as beautiful as ever and the food delicious ( thanks guys )

I wish them a life time of love happiness together, congratulations again.

Yashica 635 test-film : ) *just for fun*

Thanks to my good friend Simon Thomas I am now in possession of a beautiful Yashica 635 !

I have finally taken it for a short walk to run a test film though and here are a few of the images..

For those who are not familiar with this type of camera, there are only 12 shots on a roll so slowing right down to take the images was great fun, the kind of photography I grew up with.

I’m looking forward to putting a second film though it very soon!

Catherine & Kieran – Kings wood engagement shoot

Had a fab engagement photo-shoot and got to meet the family of Catherine and Kieran on Saturday.

Its always fun shooting engagement / portraits photographs because it quite far removed from my natural photo journalistic style – Plus I had a great time stomping around the woods : )

I cant wait to see them at the wedding in April at the Curradine Barns.

100Cameras

Photography is amazing, it can change the way we think and feel and it can change lives….. 100cameras is an beautiful example of this and one you really should see!

How it works:

The program gives cameras to children in marginalized communities. The kids learn the art of photography and begin to document the world around them.

100Cameras then shares the photographs with the world and makes the prints available for ordering on the internet. –  100% of the money goes directly back to the community.

This program has already ran project in parts of Sudan, New York, and Cuba. The photos and the stories of the children are beautiful and I’m sure this is just the beginning

Go and have a look at the work, buy some prints!! Featured photos
