July 24th 2007 - Freya
Portraits |
|
OK, not technically a
portrait session as such but how can I
not add a few photos of my own newly
born daughter Freya. Born in the very
early hours of the 24th the
photographs show Freya literally a few
hours old. Thank you to everyone for
their messages of support since
Tuesday. |

July 23rd 2007
Joseph Portraits
An early morning
shoot to catch six month old Joesph at
his best helped prove the old adage of
never work with children and animals,
on this particular Monday Jospeh broke
with routine and woke at 0530 and was
ready for a long snooze when we were
ready for the photos! As with all
portrait sessions involving young
children, the timings are flexible
around their requirements and so if
like today the shoot doesn't tie in
with their routine we can reschedule
for free. |

July 17th 2007 Sam
and Anna - Pre-wedding shoot at
Waterton Park |
|
Getting married later
in the year Sam and Anna met up with
me at Walton Hall at Waterton Park,
their reception venue for a

Meeting up at Waterton Park was ideal
as it allowed us to discuss photo

Anna a chance to get to grips with
being in front of the camera. |

July 7th 2007 - Matt
and Tracy, Wedding, Whitewater
Hotel, Newby Bridge near Windermere.
Finally a break in
the weather! The first wedding in what
seems like and age since it has stayed
dry all the way through the morning
preparations and the photos. 7th of
July 07 (777)
certainly came good. |
|
 |
|
Being so close to
Windermere, how could we resist the
opportunity to head off and find a
jetty for some close to the water
photos. Handily a nearby rowing boat
was put to use for some further
impromptu photographs. |

2nd 2007 - Marie and Gary
Pre-wedding shoot |
| With
the wedding only a couple of weeks
away I met up with Marie and Gary for
their pre-wedding shoot at nothing
more exciting than a couple of old
garages and a car park. The rustic
colourful feel was exactly what they
were looking for and have decided to
use one of the photos as a
signing board on their big day at
Rogerthorpe Manor next Friday. |

Claire was incredibly
chilled out during the preparation

some photographs of Carl getting ready
nearby.
Arriving bat
Tankersley Manor by horse and
carriage, Clare and Carl in the old
Crook Barn. Following the ceremony all
170 guests gathered outside for a
large group photograph and to watch

June
30th - Steve and Jenna,
Wedding, Snaith Church |
|
Although the weather
didn't really play ball for the
majority of the day it was at least
dry as Jenna arrived at church.
Following the ceremony guests stayed
inside for the formal photographs.
(Although there was still plenty of
water inside as sadly a couple of
nights earlier some kind soul had
helped themselves to a lot of the lead
from the church roof). |
|
 |
|
Once at the reception
venue Steve and Jenna braved the
elements for some quick under brolley
outdoor photographs. |
