October 2007 - 2008 diary fully booked

Due to the high demand and number of bookings already placed, I have now closed the diary for 2008 wedding dates. By limiting the number of weddings I photograph in each year I can ensure the same high level of service and quality to all couples. Unlike a lot of other photographers I only photograph one wedding per day and anyone booking me for their wedding is safe in the knowledge that I am the main photographer (Often with a second shooter) and  I don't farm jobs out to other photographers working on my behalf.

October 2007 - Model shoot for BBC TV
As part of a new television series for BBC3, I was filmed photographing a local model at Sandal Castle and Hotel St Pierre in Newmillerdam. The series will focus on new models and talk about their inspirations and aspirations. More news of screening dates etc to follow.

White Weddings Magazine featuring Chris Chambers Photography

The latest edition of White Weddings magazine includes a featured wedding with photography from myself.

The Autumn edition of the magazine is available at newsagents, John Lewis and many wedding fayres.

August 2007 - Bookings limited for 2008

The demand for 2008 wedding dates has been exceptionally high, like this year I have limited the maximum number of weddings in 2008 to ensure that all customers receive the high level of service they deserve. As a result available dates are becoming increasingly limited and I envisage that I will be closing the diary for next year within a couple of months.

The August edition of international aviation magazine Air Forces Monthly features a front cover image supplied by myself. Hanging upside down in jets for air to air photography or perched on a rocky ledge overlooking a valley I regularly shoot for aviation magazines and supply images to the RAF for their publicity and corporate publications.

May 2007 - BBC1 TV Series 'The Big day' - Photographed by Chris Chambers

'The Big Day' , a new five-part, prime time television series presented by Nick Knowles will be shown on BBC1 from June 26th.

Nick Knowles said: "It's supposed to be the happiest day of your life but very often the stresses and strains of organisation and family feuds can make it one of the most trying. We remove the bride and groom from this stress and ramp up all the pressure on the two families by forcing them to make all the decisions with all the consequences you would expect."

The relatives will be given a helping hand by a team of experts led by Nick Knowles , top stylist Hannah Sandling and wedding expert James Love . The experts will be there to ensure that the big day runs smoothly, on time and on budget, and be better than the happy couple could have imagined in their wildest dreams.

At the start of the week Nick meets the bride and groom to learn about their hobbies, favourite food and colours, personal preferences and outlook. This crucial meeting will be the happy couple's only input into the elements chosen by our team.

In the build up to the show filmed late last year, I was short-listed along with nine other top photographers from the Yorkshire region, following a series of interviews and meetings I was chosen as a photographer for the series and commissioned to photograph Paul and Emily's wedding taking place at Christchurch Doncaster and then Hodsock Priory near Blyth, South Yorkshire.
