Leah naming ceremony

Before we went on our little short break, we were asked to cover Leah's naming ceremony. It was a fantastic and intimate ceremony, and a very happy occasion all round. Leah proved to be a perfect model. I love photographing children - they're so full of spontaneity and boundless energy which makes it easy to capture images which are full of life. Once again the weather was perfect which was amazing luck.

Leah - thank you for inviting me to your special day. I hope you like your photographs!

Quick R&R in Italy

We had a few days gap in the busy Summer schedules so the Barber family took off to my parents' house in Italy.

The Summer in the UK has stopped and started over the last few weeks, so it was nice to get 5 days of just hot weather. The views from the house are amazing and you really do get a sense of getting away from it all. Each hot day was followed by a fabulous sunset over the mountains


The kids had a great time - both acting up like little Italian film stars.

Ciao for now!!

Tracy & Mark Pre-Wedding Shoot 4/8/07

This was our second attempt at doing this Pre-Wedding shoot with Tracy & Mark. We were due to have done this about 2 weeks ago but the weather really did get the better of us. But it was worth holding off few weeks this time because it actually felt like summer when we were doing the shoot down at Clarence Docks in Leeds.

Tracy & Mark are getting married in October and this was a great chance for us to have a chat and get to know each other a bit better. This is one of the great things about Pre-Wedding shoots - It puts the client at ease and they feel a lot more confident come their wedding day.

Jess & Joe 29th July 2007

We tend not to cover more than one wedding in a weekend, but made an exception for Joe & Jess. They are such a great couple and we knew their wedding would be something special and it was.

The wedding was at Hazlewood Castle. It’s the first time we’ve worked there and it was a fantastic location. Once again the weather was very kind, and we were able to use the beautiful gardens for some of the photographs.

Jess and Joe had gone all out with the details of there wedding, and they had a really vibrant colour scheme for the day – acid pinks, yellows and oranges. It was visually stunning and a joy to photograph.

Jess & Joe, thank you for letting us share your day and here’s to a wonderful life together!
