pre-wedding shoot

I was asked by one of my brides, if I would do a pre-wedding shoot for her friend Alana and husband-to-be Dave. Of course, I said, so we met up at Cuerden Valley Park, on a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon with their dog Taz.

Alana & Dave live in Birmingham, and are getting married in North Wales on 6th June. I hope that they have a lovely day and wish them every happiness for the future.












lifestyle shoot

I spent some time with Rebecca, her brother, sister and 2 boys the other Sunday morning.

Rebecca's parents are moving to Africa for a few years to be involved in asome aid work, and she thought that some photos of the family to take with them would be a nice gift.

We went for a walk together round a field behind their parents house, whilst I shot images of the family as they played and chatted.

Rebecca is a physiotherapist and has a practice in Broughton, check her out, she has done wonders for my neck & shoulders :)

pre-wedding shoot

I spent the 18th April in London doing a pre-wedding shoot for Jenni & Ben who are geting married on 20th June in Maidstone, Kent.

We met at Trafalgar Square, by the fountains, which is where Ben proposed on Christmas Eve.
Unfortunately, due to a Dutch Festival and the fountains down for maintenance it wasn't quite the scene we had in mind - but we managed a few photos!

We then spent the day walking round London - down to Whitehall, the Embankment - over to the South Bank, down to the Tate, over the Millennium Bridge to St Paul's. Ben wanted to go see Buckingham Palace - so after a much needed sit down in Green Park, we obliged him. Then a walk up the Mall and back to Trafalgar Sqaure - phew!!
Needless to say I was glad to put my feet up on the train journey back North!

family lifestyle shoot

I've eventually got around to blogging my Good Friday lifestyle shoot, better late than never!

I photographed this family 2 years ago and it was great coming back for more :)

We had some fun in the back garden with a giant bubble maker, before going for a little walk down to the remains of the Roman Baths in Ribchester.

You may recognise the children from my Comic Relief photos, and I would like to thank the family for supporting me in that adventure :)
