Marilyn and John were married on 24th March 2009 at Shendish Manor near Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. They have been together for 21 years and so I wish them many more years of happiness. Although there were doubts about the weather it turned out to be a gloriuos day. They chose me to shoot their wedding photography through a recommendation from their close friends Ron and Sue, whose wedding I photographed the previous March in Chenies Buckinghamshire.

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to photograph Chelsea’s prom portraits in Watford, Hertfordshire. It was a vary glam occasion. Chelsea had her hair and makeup done and looked fabulous in a gorgeous lime green dress. We got to have some real fun shooting her portraits and some really unique images have resulted. All her friends joined her a little later and they all set of to their prom in a pure white limo.

Emporium Japan are having a whole website redesign at present and so in January I shot corporate portraiture and product photography for the new website. They had lots more new products and food and so I was called back to London to shoot more product and food photography. This was great to do as I learn’t lots about the Japanese diet and also got to taste all the food after I had photographed it

I shot James and Jo’s wedding photography in London and this was my second London wedding of the year so far. Jo had planned some fabulous details for her wedding including the use of a vintage cream VW beetle and a camper van. It was a beautiful spring day and Jo looked stunning in her beautiful wedding dress (made in the space of two days as her original one was destroyed on the thursday before the wedding). James was in full military uniform and also looked amazing. I am always so impressed by how shiny they get their boots.

A couple of weeks ago I shot wedding photography for Gary and Jane at Parkstead House. A lovely wedding based in London – and as anyone who has driven in London knows you can never rely on the traffic . So anyway things ended up a little late but I truly think everything went perfectly. I have picked out some of my favourite images which I feel really captured the spirit of Gary and Jane’s wedding day.

Cheeky!

Kate and Sam were married at Knebworth Barns, Knebworth House, Hertfordshire in early April. They were married by civil ceremony a day or two before and so had a beautiful wedding blessing with all their friends and family to celebrate. Many of their close friends had flown in from all over the world to be with them on this special occasion. I loved shooting their wedding photography, they had so much planned and their were so many details to photograph. Friends baked lots of cupcakes for their wedding cake and the floral arrangements (also made by friends) were just amazing.  All through this wedding I shot natural guest images but Sam’s best man kept catching me out!

I recently submitted some wedding photography to Your Herts & Beds Wedding Magazine. I was thrilled when the Editor Lisa phoned to inform me that not only did I have the front cover but also a real wedding feature inside the magazine. The real wedding was from August 2008 when I photographed the wedding of Lizzie and Richard at Redcoats Farmhouse in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. I’m a bit late in blogging this and so the magazine is no longer on the shop shelves, but have a look at the images below.

A few weeks ago I was asked to photograph newborn baby Harrison and his family in Watford, Hertfordshire. I know baby Harrison’s family very well because I photographed his big sister Molly about 9 months ago. I love family photography and especially newborn babies. Harrison was 7 days old when I shot his portrait photography, so tiny but absolutely gorgeous.

Scott and Kanta had a Hare Krishna wedding ceremony at Bhaktivedana Manor in Aldenham, near Watford, Hertfordshire. I was fortunate enough to shoot their wedding photography.

This was such a great wedding to photograph. One of my favourites definitely because it was full of colour and interesting details. Lots to photograph! I try to shoot everything in natural light because I believe it preserves the true ambience of the wedding. I find flash can be a real atmospere killer. I photographed some fantastic imagery of the fire and so preserved the warmth of this light on the surroundings.

I had great fun photographing Fabio for his model and acting portfolio. He wanted a career change and so we had to start the portfolio from scratch. Together we discussed the look he was going for and then I scouted locations and outfits so that there was a large variety of images to choose from. Part of the photographers job inlucludes being a stylist also. All photography was shot on location in Putney, London, which provided a great background for the images. Fabio was very nervous when I arrived having never done this sort of thing before, but I soon put him at ease. Well me and also the cinzano he was drinking before I arrived
