I went to meet Shona and Ed for my first pre-wedding shoot of 2010 today. It was a cold, crisp winter’s day in Surrey at just 3c, cold enough that the lake by the church was partially frozen. Shona and Ed are great fun, easy to work with and were very relaxed in front of the camera. I’m really looking forward to the wedding, which is just shy of 6 weeks away now, I think it’s going to be a lot of fun!
San Francisco
I took a trip to San Francisco back in 2008 on business. It was a two week stay and during the middle weekend, I decided to hire a bike and go cycling with my camera. I had no idea where I was going, I just knew that I wanted to see the Golden Gate bridge, [...]
Snowy Chalgrove
Went to see my nephew, Jamie, this weekend and celebrate my Dad’s birthday. Oxford has about as much snow as we do in Basingstoke but the roads were clear enough so the journey was no problem. We took Jamie out on the sledge which he was somewhat reluctant to get on at first. Naturally, I [...]
Frozen Chineham 2
Some more pictures from around my house today… winter really is a beautiful time of year…
Frozen Chineham!
Not quite as dramatic as “Frozen Britain” but anyway… Happy (if a tad chilly) New Year! I’m very much looking forward to 2010 and to the four weddings I have booked for the year so far. But before that, we have some snow and ice to contend with. Winter is quite possibly my favourite of [...]
Christmas 2009
Keily and I spent a wonderful white Christmas with her family up in Durham. It was nearly 4 days but it went in a flash! Good food, good wine and great company, what could be better?! We went out in the snow and took the dog for a walk which was amusing as she was [...]
The Coughlan Family
No pressure… a photoshoot for a photographer! And a mighty fine one too! Mark’s travel photography is absolutely stunning and should be, in my opinion, in books like Lonely Planet etc. This shoot was my toughest challenge yet as Mark’s daughter is just 8 weeks old. She is fascinated by lights so my softbox and [...]
Gridlock in Basingstoke!
A little snow, well, it was a reasonable amount actually, brought Basingstoke and other towns to a standstill. My journey from Bracknell, normally a 35 minute journey, took nearly 5 hours last night. I left at 2.30pm and got in just after 7pm. Beautiful as it was, being stuck in the car only 2 miles [...]
The Waters Family
Aka Madison’s photoshoot! My favourite subject is back, although strangely somewhat less interested in being photographed today. I had to question if this was the real Madison before me but she promptly threw some plastic balls at me and I knew it was her! Despite her apparent semi-reluctance, I think she was more than happy [...]
The Hayes Family
Second shoot of the weekend was with my good friends The Hayes’ on Sunday. I brought a selection of coloured plastic balls for amusement and the kids quickly distributed them around the house with consummate ease! I had great fun with the youngsters who are certainly not at all shy and one who shall remain [...]
