Barney's Mini Shoot

This morning I was out on location for Barney's mini photo shoot. We used some nearby fields and nature trails for the shoot. Barney is brilliant in front of the camera, so easy to photograph. I really enjoyed it.

I decided to shoot with only one lens, my favourite 50mm. I could happily shoot with this constantly as I love   how creative you can be with it. Mini shoots are perfect for kids because they are just an hour long and usually brilliant fun, outside messing about and playing.

Here are a couple of favourites from this morning. Thanks Barney and Vicky!!

  

Steph and Richard - Wedding

Steph and Richard were married at St Peter's in Addingham on 11th June. Steph was very relaxed in the morning and finished getting ready at home with her family and 5 Bridesmaids.
Steph wore a beautiful halter neck gown and the Bridesmaids wore floor length deep blue dresses which looked fabulous. 
After the ceremony we did a handful of family shots at the Church and the newly weds departed on a vintage tractor for the reception, which was held in a large Marquee at Steph's parents farm on Addingham Moorside.
We concentrated on very relaxed, informal shots thoughout the day and decided to do some photos of Steph and Richard after the wedding breakfast so everyone could mingle, relax and have dinner. As hoped, the light was fantastic and we got some lovely portraits of them in the fields and around the farm.
A couple of favourite shots from the day...

This seems a good point to introduce some of James' photography work, as he has assisted me on many weddings this year.  James is my brother and he has a fantastic talent for landscape photography already but I absolutely love his portrait work. So this next set of images are some more favourites from Steph and Richard's wedding, but are James' work. Love these! This is Steph and her sister, Bex.

Thanks to Steph and Richard and their families for making us so welcome, we had a great time sat with Stephs Uncles and Aunties during the wedding breakfast!

Hannah and Katie Mini Shoot

The last time I did a photo shoot for Hannah and Katie, they were tiny tots. I cant believe how much they have grown!
We had a glorious afternoon by the river and the girls ran around having fun. Here's a sneak at what they got up to.....

Thanks girls! x

Danni and Mike- Pre Wedding Shoot- Goldsborough Hall

This is a long overdue catch up as I have been so busy during this wedding season that my blog has been a little neglected!! Ill rewind back to July first, to Danni and Mike and their pre wedding shoot.


I met with Danni and Mike at Goldsborough Hall on a Monday in mid July. It was a dual visit for the shoot and for a venue visit as their wedding reception will be held there.
Once again the forecast was for rain! But when we arrived it was still dry so we started outside with the shoot to make the most of the weather.
Goldsborough is another beautiful venue, its very private and secluded and has lovely gardens.

We were followed around by Jeeves the resident cat, who really loved my camera bag and decided to get in on the action by clawing his way up my leg and sitting on my shoulder whilst I was photographing! You can spot him in quite a few shots.

It wasn't long before the rain started again and we decided to go inside to have a look around at the interior space. Danni and Mike have a Basset Hound called Hugo who isn't joining us on their wedding day, so Danni was keen to get a few shots of him inside Goldsborough Hall with his suit and tie on. Hopefully he will make it into their album. 

Look at those ears!!
