Pin-up shoot

Last month, myself and a group of fellow strobists got together with some models and make up artists to do a 1940s/50s style pin-up shoot. The day started well, but got even better when some members of the Bristol Street Rods turned up with their fantastic cars.
A very long but rewarding day.

Anne-Marie and Robert

This bright autumn day saw the wedding of Anne-Marie and Robert at the beautiful 18th century parish church at Redland, Bristol.
This was a wonderful day from start to end and the reception venue was just amazing.














All credit for this last shot goes to my good friend Albert Palmer, as I completely stole the idea from one of his weddings :)

Roy & Deeya

Last weekend I was down in Glastonbury, shooting the handfasting of Roy and Deeya - a lovely couple from Mauritius. Although it was my first time photographing a handfasting, I'd been to one before so the format wasn't completely new to me.

The locations for both the ceremony and reception were beautiful. The reception venue itself backed onto the remains of Glastonbury Abbey, to which we were fortunate to be allowed access for some evening photos.

I had a free weekend a couple of weeks ago, so decided to spend it doing a shoot with a friend who had offered to model for me.

We started off in the wonderful Arnos Vale cemetery in Bristol - a huge, overgrown Victorian cemetery that in places looks more like a woodland, apart from the occasional slanting gravestone. We got some great shots among the trees before heading down to the main area for a different scene.

Only problem was finding that we were locked in as the doors shut at 5, so a mile detour with a vault over a wall was needed to get back to the car.

After that, we headed to Temple Meads station for some industrial shots.

Polly & Ben

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of Polly and Ben at Thornbury Golf Club, just north of Bristol.
All week it had been raining heavily, so just in case I popped out and bought some nice umbrellas for the outside shots. Luckily they weren't needed as as soon as the ceremony started, the clouds disappeared and the skies turned blue.
What a fantastic day!
