I had the most wonderful day last Saturday at Gemma and James’s Wedding. The day started at Gemma’s parent’s house where all the girls prepared for the day, before heading to Pledgdon Barn in Henham for the wedding. Gemma looked simply gorgeous in her gown and wowed all the guests when she made her entrance for their ceremony.

Gemma and James’s day was made all the more special for me because two previous brides who’s wedding I had photographed where at the wedding. It was so good to catch up with Lindsey and Victoria again, Lindsey and David where married in 2010 at Parklands, Quendon Hall and Victoria and Andrew where married in 2009, also at Parklands. I had to take the photograph below of the three girls together!

Queensberry 9 X 9 inch Feature Parents Album

Here are some images of a few small feature albums we have recently completed for a client. I thought I would post these as people often ask for a beautiful way to display a collection of photographs from a special moment in life. These smaller Queensberry albums can be finished in the same wide  choice of fabrics and leathers as their larger versions. They make perfect albums for parent’s to remember their child’s wedding. I photographed these albums along with my families vintage Leica so the size can be compared with photographs of larger feature albums we posted here before.

These albums are reason enough why couples who are looking for simply the most beautiful way to remember their wedding day should look very closely for photographers, like us, who offer Queensberry Albums.

Here are some of my personal images of Ashridge, one of my favourite wedding venues. I took these earlier this week whilst the snow was still fresh and crunchy under foot. It is so nice to just walk around the grounds and admire the simply stunning architecture and gardens. Monday was so quiet all I could hear was the freshly fallen snow crunching as I walked and the occasional scurry of the Muntjac deer running around.

Barry Lategan and I

Lorraine and I spent a wonderful evening on Thursday at the opening of Terry O’Neil’s Photographic exhibition at The Little Black Gallery. We had the wonderful opportunity to view some of Terry’s beautiful work and meet some of the most influential photographers of our time. Amongst the guests was one of my all time great photographers Barry Lategan, who I had to be photographed with.

I thought I would post these images which I took of my Niece and Nephew over the weekend. It is difficult to comprehend just how quickly they grow up. Claudia really did not want to wear the beautiful gown she was in. However it’s the look on her face which makes the image of her so strong. Jamie on the other hand just wanted to look like a cool rapper!

I have just had time after a hectic weekend to up load these images from a commercial shoot which took an unexpected twist on Friday afternoon.

I had been commissioned to photograph some interiors of the Pro Shop at Woolston Manor Golf Club and also some of the course for a new brochure. Once I completed the interiors I was having second thoughts about the images of the course because of bad light, but it started to brighten up so I thought I would take a few test images as a few golfers were near by and willing to strike a pose for me! One of my willing models turned out to be the clubs Professional who mentioned there was a charity golf day and party taking place and a few celebrities were out on the course.

All I needed was a buggy, marshal and good story to photograph Gareth Gates, Craig Fairbrass and Bradley Walsh…. These are some of the images.

Winter must almost be upon us as I have just finished photographing the first play school of the autumn season. I tend to look at Play school photography as mini portrait sessions, thus every now and again I get a real gem come along like the image below, which really makes the session worth while.
