Back on Valentine’s weekend I shot a family photo session in Hungerford for a family reunion. Fun was had by all especially by the children throwing the left over snow and posing in their uncle’s TVR which incidentally needed a push back into the garage by the brothers - only kidding!
Here are a few pics from the shoot.
Last Tuesday I attended Focus on Imaging 09 at the Birmingham NEC. The show was excellent, far too many gadgets and new toys to tempt me with, yet somehow I managed to return home having not spent a penny on equipment.
The main reason for the trip was to check out the latest wedding albums and design software. My clients mean a lot to me and their wedding day is very important to them. I strive to give my clients the best wedding albums that they will cherish for a lifetime and will be handed down through the generations.
I came away from Focus on Imaging making the decision to create albums this year from Graphi Studio and Queensberry. Both companyies produce stunning albums and provide excellent design software to help layout the images and I am impressed by the quality of their products. Queensberry are the more expensive of the two, but if you want a top-of-the-range luxury album then this is the one to go for.
Please do contact me if you have any questions regarding my wedding albums. I also create beautiful albums for any lifestyle portrait shoots I do for you, so if you’re interested do give me a call.
A couple of weeks ago I shot an engagement shoot for a couple getting married in Colerne this May. They have 2 lovely boys who they wanted to include in the shoot so it added a different twist to the usual engagement shoots.
The shoot was great fun, we shot some more intimate shots of the couple at Castle Combe and then headed to a park in Chippenham to grab some fun family shots.
I loved the shoot and the results, so thanks guys for making it fun!
Here are a few pics from the shoot.
Today we had some of the best show I’ve seen for years. Lots of people hate the snow, but I love it, and love the photographic opportunities it brings. Here are a few shots I shot out in Kington Langley today.
On the 13th December I jointly shot the amazing winter wedding of Wesley and Ellie at St Audries Park near Taunton. The day started out wet, but by the time the ceremony was about to start all was dry. Everything about the day was perfect and the results speak for themselves. I’ve updated my website with a gallery of images from the day for you to enjoy. As a taste here is my favourite photo from the day.
My wife and I are huge fans of a fantastic UK based Nu-folk acoustic duo called Megson. We first saw them perform at a guitar show in Cheltenham a year or two ago and have since seen them several times and love all their albums. Being musicians ourselves playing acoustic music of a similar style (though not as good!) they are right up our street. If you love bands like Nickel Creek you will absolutely love them, and if you don’t you will absolutely love them anyway.
I am very honored to be able to announce that Megson have allowed me to use their music to back my slideshow galleries, especially since they have a very fun song perfect for my wedding photography. I’ll say no more about the song - much better that you hear it for yourself. Check out my galleries with your speakers on!
Recently they launched their new album “Take yourself a wife”. The album is highly recommend - you can visit Megson’s website and find out more about the album, their music, tour dates etc. at http://www.megsonmusic.co.uk/
I hope you enjoy the music backing the photos.
Here are a few press snippets that also show how great a duo they are.
“Fresh, melodic and bushy-tailed.”
(Mojo – Aug 07)“…this hits all the targets ****”.
(Rock’N’Reel –Nov 07)“Powerful stuff indeed”
(Properganda – Jun 07)“Exceptional”
(Musician – Autumn 07)“A compelling collection of songs…stunning vignettes of life *****”
(Maverick – Aug 07)“Megson are gifted songwriters as well as rather superb musicians.”
(HMV Choice – Jul 07)“This is first rate - if you don’t like this music you have a problem! Megson are a couple of potential stars, peaches and cream harmonies, melodic roots consciousness and a huge sense of individuality. ”

Yesterday Jo and I made a trip to Westonbirt Arboretum to shoot some autumn portraits of each other for fun, and give Jo a chance to practice some of her photography skills she’s been learning. She shot some amazing photos and controlled the camera the majority of the time, however I still got a few great shots of her along the way. Check a couple of them out below.
We found an amazing spot under a tree covered in orange leaves for Jo to shoot a few photos of me - I really love this one she captured.
On the 18th October I shot a wedding with a fantastic wedding photographer Hannah Timm. Here is a small selection of my shots from the day. Can you spot the bride and groom in the venue shot?!
