Zoe and Kevin

I caught up with Zoe and Kevin on Sunday. They recently booked us for their wedding next year at the magnificent Kilworth House.

They came over for their first portrait session to 'break the ice' and it was a lovely morning with not too many people around. We started off in Great Bowden during Sunday rush hour, well, rush 'few minutes' really, and then into my favourite alleyways off the high street in Market Harborough.

Here are some of the images:

If music be the food of love...

...then Helen and Ben's marriage will never go hungry!

They had a very musical wedding today, marrying in Market Harborough followed by a wedding ceremony at the picturesque Halstead House. They and their guests were entertained by a guitarist, a choir, superb soloists, and an excellent band and ceilidh in the evening. One of the soloists sang a very powerful, soulful version of Ben's theme tune, 'Son of Preacher Man', and the beautiful dried petal confetti was wrapped in music paper cones!

And their fun day was made extra special with the glorious weather and games on the lawns - including a coconut shy, 'splat the rat', and hook a duck - to keep everybody entertained.

What a dreadful job we have going out to lovely days like this!!

Here's a sneak peak of some early favs:















Congratulations to the two of you, I hope your dancing feet carried on well into the night! We'll look forward to catching up with you soon to go through your images.

Rozz and Iain

Yesterday I met up with Rozz and Iain for their pre-wedding portrait session. They get married in less than four months now (!), at Great Oxenden followed by their reception at Halstead House.

We started off in Market Harborough and then went a bit 'rural' for a splash of colour amongst the bright yellow fields of oilseed rape.

Here are some of my favourites:

Eden

This is little baby Eden, who I met the other day when I went over to photograph her with her mum, Angela, and Angela's mum, Mary:



It was lovely to capture images of mum and new baby together:







There was even time for a bit of a nap, under a watchful eye (or four) of course!







And I couldn't resist a 'pawtrait' of family dog G, a wonderful Weimaraner:

Anna's birthday celebrations

Anna celebrated her birthday recently with a gathering of family and friends in the wonderful surroundings of Rushton Hall.

It was a lovely evening, so we started with some family pictures on the South Terrace, before the party started downstairs. Here's a small selection of images:

Aspire magazine

We had a lovely little feature about our approach to wedding coverage in Aspire magazine last month.

Here's a (small) pdf of the article, just to show the feature really as I know that it's too small to read:
