Alison & Mark

Well we have just finished our final wedding of 2007 and what a lovely intimate wedding it was.
I felt really priviledged to be present and record the occasion for Alison and Mark.

It was a beautiful crisp Winters day - cold and dry with deep blue skies and a low bright sun.

Below are some images from the day.

Thank you Alison & Mark for a great day. It was a lovely wedding to sign 2007 off on.

Beautiful Model!!

I kind of took a day off today - we had a friend visiting, and I've been promising for ages to take some pictures of her daughter who is 20 months old.

She proved to be a great model as you can see - such a bright spark. I haven't seen her since the beginning of the year and the change in her is unbelievable. It's such a cliche, but since having children myself I've realised how quickly time passes, and how important it is to remember little moments in time like this.

Anyway, I'm really pleased with the pictures. Here are a few of them:

Trip to the Lake District

Yesterday I was up in the Lake District at Annabel Williams' studio near Kendal. Annabel is a legend in the photography business and along with her team has really helped us out over the lifetime of
Phil Barber Photography so far.

I was asked to be a speaker at one of their insight days, and had the pleasure of meeting lots of new people who are keen to progress their photography businesses.


Also asked to speak yesterday was a fab photographer called Lisa Aldersley who is based in Manchester. Her enthusiasm was really infectious and her work was amazing. Check her website out.

Thanks to everyone who turned up and spoke to me yesterday - it was great to meet you all and if you want a chat about anything photographic (or otherwise!) drop me an e-mail.

Karen & Rob's Wedding 1st December

We were up at Crathorne Hall on Saturday in the far north (well, about as far north as you can go in Yorkshire!) Crathorne is a beautiful location and it's the second time we've been lucky enough to photograph a wedding there this year.

It was Karen & Rob's wedding on Saturday, and it was a truly special day. The weather was a bit unpredictable, but we started off the day with a glorious sunny but cold winter's morning. Karen & Rob had obviously worked really hard to create their dream wedding, but the day itself was really relaxed and informal, and the guests (and us!) had fantastic time.

Thank you for asking us to be part of your day - many congratulations to you both!!!
