Kew Gardens, March

At the end of March, I went down to London to photograh some night shots for Jurys Inn, Chelsea (which you will see at some point in the future)!

Whilst down there the weather was beautiful, so my friend, Alex and I went to Kew Gardens - we had a brilliant day photographing the flowers, including the most wonderful Magnolia trees that were out in full bloom.  I just had to ruin the day by falling over on our way out, spraining my ankle badly, cracking a bone in my elbow and landing on my camera...... which was also ill!  So, it ended up a very expensive visit to Kew - BUT I got some lovely shots and really enjoyed the visit, and was so grateful that Alex was with me!

So flowers from Kew with my love.....

Kofo & Kennie's Wedding 21st April

Kofo & kennie got married at Swindon Registry Office on 21st April 2012, on the end of a very wet, windy week.  Luckily the weather stayed fairly good for the day, and they had a very small, special ceremony with family and friends at the newly furbished registry office in Swindon, which is now much, much nicer than the previous one.

Kofo looked gorgeous in her dress, with a lovely little lace bolero, and the bridesmaids had almost the same red as her flowers.  After the ceremony we went over to Victoria Park for some more photos, where with the help of the best man as my assistant, holding the reflector, we managed to get some of the images below.

Mark & George's Civil Ceremony

On Saturday 14th April, Mark and George celebrated their partnership with a Civil Ceremony held at Chiseldon House, Chiseldon, Swindon.

The day was amazing - much fun and love.  The guys both looked stunning in their suits, which were offset by the outfits that the mothers, best-women, groomsmaids and page boys wore - everything matched beautifully.

Here are a few images from the day, as a montage - I still have loads to edit, so more will follow!

Angie & Alex - headshots

Recently I photographed Angie (on Martyn's 121 training day), and then I photographed Alex to provide her with images for her website and social media sites.

I always like to photograph people in a situation that they are happy in, and in a way that best represents them and their type of business.

Alex runs a Virtual PA business (www.ahadministration.co.uk), and Angie is the secretary of Royal Wootton Bassett Chamber of Commerce, and also runs her own press release business - The Press Release Company.

Advert behind the scenes photoshoot for Firebird Films

The day after my Silk Mobility photoshoot, I worked with my friends Ross MacKenzie of Firebird Films and Mark Kenna or Dreambase Studios. The sound man is another friend, Al Hudd, and the behind the scenes video was being made by Infinite 8 Productions, Darren, Mel & Jenny.  Sam Allen was also helping out along with another student, Rory.  They were filming an advert for Advance Housing, and I was lucky enough to be photographing  behind the scenes.  I love doing this photography - you don't have to worry about taking lighting, because the film crew always have plenty - you just have to make use of the light that's there! There is quite a lot of waiting around, and you can't take photo's when sound is being recorded, but there are a lot of opportunities just waiting to be captured.

This is the third of fourth time I've worked with Ross & Mark, and the team, and it's always great fun and they are a fantastic group of people to work with - so hopefully I'll get more in the future too!

Here are some of the images from the day - they are only of the crew, non of the actors are here.
