It’s been a busy wedding season shooting with my good friend Steve Atkinson at some of the North East’s most amazing wedding venues. Steve and I reckon we’ve shot around ten weddings together, as well as working with corporate clients in the North East of England. We enjoy working together so much, we figured it […]
This was Steve and I’s first wedding at Durham Masonic Hall and I have to say – what an amazing venue. The staff are an absolute dream too – especially Kenneth who facilitated the day for Beth & Kieran. It seems to be becoming the thing now that the groom gets the chance to have […]
Danielle & Craig was our first Church wedding this year. They had decided to get married in the church that their grandparents had used to tie the knot. When I met the couple I asked if there were any particular interests the couple had. Craig was a huge fan of guns so I managed to […]
When I first met Anna & Euan at the Winter Gardens at Queen Elizabeth High School in Hexham I was taken by what a unique venue it was for a wedding. That’s because it doubles as a school dining hall during the week. The venue is a blank canvas on your wedding day and Anna […]
One of the really great things about being a photographer is that you get the chance to attend so many weddings. It’s a real honour and privilege to be part of a couples’ special day. What do you do if you are attending as a guest? I find it really hard not to go to […]
Today I had the privilege of taking photos of newborn baby Paige. Weighing in at just under five pounds she really is a tiny treasure. Previously I had shopped online for some newborn props, including an Easter bunny outfit, as she was born in the spring. Sadly, most of them turned out to be too big […]
Headshots are becoming really popular at the moment – especially for people who want something special for their online profiles. Whether we like it or not we are judged on our image – especially the things we put online. Why not craft your online image and choose to have some professional headshot done. This eekend […]
I reckon the best way to have empathy with your model is to test things on yourself. I’ve always believed that the eyes should be the focal point of your portrait and when capturing a headshot it’s important to inject a huge helping of your personality into the shot. That’s why developing a great rapport […]
Had an interesting baby portrait shoot today. Sessions with under twos are always quite challenging as they don’t always want to sit in front of the camera – especially when some bloke keeps firing a bright light at you. The secret is to find something they love that makes them smile. With little girls its […]
I delivered the pictures today for what has been a year long project. To celebrate I thought I’d reward my self with a bit of “me” time. I’ve been investing in some new lighting for a while, and now that my other projects are just about complete I was able to spend some quality time […]
