Wedding: Kath & Mike – Storrs Hall, Windermere

Mike & Kath got married at St Mary’s Church, Rydal with the most fabulous reception at Storrs Hall on the shore of Lake Windermere. Everyone had a marvellous time, especially enjoying the classic bus that transported them to & from the church and the awesome Toni James Band in the evening.

Here are some of my favourite images of the day.

Baby Portrait: Tom

There’s a saying in the acting profession ‘Never work with animals or children’. In my line of work it’s something you can’t avoid; however photographing children and babies is quite different to getting them to act. Instead of trying to get them to do something that they wouldn’t normally do, I’m capturing them being themselves which takes time & patience.

My shoots aren’t like those where you have to venture to a studio for an hour long appointment. I take time to make sure that everyone’s comfortable and relaxed before we start taking pictures. Once the camera comes out, the shoot can often last for a couple of hours. Investing that time gives great images that you will enjoy for years.

If you would like some fantastic relaxed images of your baby, children or family, whether you live in the North, the South or the Midlands (or anywhere else), why not click the “contact” link above to get in touch. I’d love to hear from you!

Tom was a delight to work with, he’s very cute and a happy little chap. He spent most of the session smiling, as you can see!

Pre-wedding shoot: Kath and Mike – Jephson Gardens, Leamington Spa

This weekend I met with Kath & Mike in Leamington Spa; the beautiful Jephson Gardens provided a great backdrop for these images. I can’t wait to take some more on the big day next week in the beautiful Lake District (when we’re a bit less tired)!
