Wedding photography Halstead House - Danielle and Ben are married!

Danielle and Ben were married yesterday in the lovely surroundings of Halstead House, marrying in the Quail Shed, with their reception following in the Opera House.

They had a lovely bright day, with some fabulous autumn colours, particularly down by the lake where we caught a few moments alone with them.

Here's an early 'taster', the last one with their son Owen, who always seems to smile for the camera!





















Congratulations Danielle and Ben!

Pet photography

Last week a good friend of mine, the award winning pet photographer Paul Walker, of Paws Pet Photography, was down for two days running a pet photography workshop.

I had arranged the pet models at a variety of locations around Market Harborough; two lovely dogs in East Langton, a stables visit to Naseby - where there were horses, dogs, and cats, plus turkeys and partridges (!) - and three Jack Russells in Market Harborough on the afternoon of the second day.

Watching Paul at work and the way he demonstrated his control and understanding of the pets was an excellent practical demonstration of his skills.

As I had arranged all of the pet models, and as they're all local and I knew I would have the opportunity of revisiting the locations with the owners, I didn't take too many images, but the following are a sample of some of the variety, including 'the dog whisperer' and 'the horse whisperer' in action (!):













And not forgetting the turkeys. The next image was taken whilst in the turkey and chicken run, and the image after whilst sitting amongst some 50 or 60 eight week old turkeys in their pen!





Tuesday afternoon, with the lovely Setters Esme and Tilley, was a washout with hard driving rain, so I went back a few days later to photograph them:

Wedding photography Shearsby Bath, Leicestershire - Heather and Adrian are married!

Heather and Adrian were married yesterday in a lovely ceremony at Shearsby Bath, just south of Leicester.

There was a little twist just before their ceremony when it was announced that their registrar hadn't arrived. But it had all been planned as Adrian's cousin, Karen, stepped forward to officiate. Karen's a registrar in Cambridge and it had all been arranged as a surprise for Heather and Adrian's family and guests!

Heather looked fabulous in a wedding dress that she had made herself, complete with a gold cloak, and their five lovely bridesmaids included their daughters Georgia and Bethany.

Here's little taster:



















They weren't intending to have a first dance, instead they had planned a last dance, but they were encouraged into a first dance before being joined on the dancefloor by their guests:



Many congratulations, Heather and Adrian!

Fashion shoot for WOW magazine

I recently photographed three three very talented 'Teen Age Errs' for a feature in the October edition of WOW magazine.

Bethany, Jaz and Lauren were the models, all modelling items from the Fatface Autumn/Winter collection:



You can see the feature on pages 28-29 of the digital edition of the magazine.

Rebecca and Daniel's fabulous wedding entrance!

Back in late July we blogged about Rebecca and Daniel's fabulous wedding at Quinton House in Northampton.

It was a wedding with lots of unique touches - a black and white Hollywood theme, an ice cream van, marching drummers, space hoppers, and the bridal party danced down the aisle at the beginning of the ceremony!

Our images could only capture a hint of their entrance



but a friend of theirs was there to capture it on video, and you can see the arrival of the bridal party, and the British way of doing things, here.

Enjoy!

Rushton Hall wedding showcase

I'll be at the Wedding Showcase tomorrow afternoon at Rushton Hall, and it'll be the debut(!) of some new sample albums that I've just put together.

If you're visiting, do come and say hello!

Wedding photography Great Brington and Market Harborough - Caroline and Michael are married!

Caroline and Michael had a lovely wedding on a bright and sunny Saturday, marrying at the church of St Mary the Virgin in Great Brington, with their reception following at The Three Swans Hotel in Market Harborough.

Considering the weather on the Friday, and on the Sunday afterwards, they must have had fingers and toes crossed because Saturday's weather was glorious when I arrived at their splendid church and continued that way until I left them just as they started their wedding
breakfast.

Here's a little preview of their day:





















Many congratulations Caroline and Michael! I hope you'e having a fabulous few days away and I shall look forward to catching up with you soon.
