Ben & Ali's Portrait Session

Ben and Ali's wedding in December is fast approaching. This was their pre wedding portrait session with me at their beautiful home near Allendale. Chocolate and Sweep, the Chocolate Labs have both been photographed by me this year, and were keen to get in on the act again.

Fables Last Stand

I recently did a photo shoot for Newcastle based rock group Fables Last Stand. All the guys were real naturals in front of the camera and made my job easy and enjoyable!

My Best Friend's Wedding

I remember sitting in the park with Catherine in the summer when we were 15 or 16, after school, talking about what it would be like when grew up and got married. We imagined many scenarios, but Catherine living in New Zealand and getting married on an island in Thailand wasn't one of them.

Catherine and Nick's wedding was beyond my imagination. It was beautiful and perfect in every way. I am so honoured and privileged to have played a part in it. I only hope I have done them, and it, justice through the photographs.

Lifestyle Portrait Shoot

After doing a headshot session for Leanne a few weeks ago, we recently teamed up again to do more of a 'lifestyle' portrait shoot. In and around Hexham on a lovely September day offered up some great shots. Leanne was an absolute star and a joy to photograph.

Janene & Simon's Wedding

The lovely Eshott Hall was the setting for Janene & Simon's wedding at the end of August. We were lucky enough to have good weather, and the whole day was truly a pleasure to be a part of.

We finished off the day with some shots in a near by corn field, freshly cut... and we had a close encounter with the combine harvester!

Green Fingers

I've just dug up my first ever harvest of potatoes. There's enough to keep going until Christmas I think. Oswald was very helpful in the digging up process and has quite a fancy for raw potatoes!

Not exactly self sufficient, but between the veggie patch and my weekly organic box from the marvelous G&S Organics (check out their fab website) I'm keeping the Coop and Tesco at bay. It really does taste better.

Mare & Foal

This beautiful foal was born 7 weeks ago by cessarian. Mum and foal are doing brilliantly now & were an absolute joy to photograph.
