For many people it’s kind of traditional to look back on the past year, for me it’s a great time to look back through all of the photography sessions of 2011 and pick out my favourite images. I tasked myself with picking my top 30 from everything I’ve done in 12 months….quite a tough challenge but I managed to narrow it down.

So (in the words of Dermot O’Leary) in no particular order here are my top 30 images of 2011.

Wedding Photography

Above: Emily and “Fred”s wedding at Notley Abbey was great fun especially when the best man revealed that he had unearthed photographic evidence of “Fred”s brief modelling career.

Above: The top two images are from a Bridal Fashion shoot at The Met, Leeds, bottom left Karen & Tom’s wedding at The Westmead Hotel, Hopwood  and bottom left Rachael & Brett’s wedding at Crathorne Hall Hotel, Yarm

Above: Jude & Saul kiss in their beloved Bongo camper van, Rachael’s shoes at Crathorne Hall Hotel, Yarm, Louise gets a kiss from her Dad as she arrives at church to marry Dominic, and Heather & Richard in the grounds of Selly Manor, Bournville.

 Family, Fashion and Party Photography

Below are some of my favourite family and party photographs of 2011 with a couple of pre-wedding photographs for good measure!

Below are a couple of business portraits from last year.

Boudoir photography

Boudoir photography is huge in the US and (probably thanks in no small part to Gok Wan) is a growing market in the UK. Here are a few favourites of mine from 2011. Head over to jcboudoir.co.uk if you’d like to see more.

Thanks go out to the ladies who have given their written permission to share these images with you.
