Engagement Photo Shoot at Waddesdon Manor

purepix — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:01:16 +0000

I’ll be photographing Carol & John’s wedding in April. As part of their photography package we had an engagement photography session at Waddesdon manor, near Aylesbury. We had a lovely sunny morning and the grounds to ourselves, so we made of it and got some great shots.

I met up with Amanda & Trevor and their newly born son, Adam, at the weekend for a pre wedding photo shoot at Fallow Fields Country House Hotel. We were going to have a stroll around the grounds and get some pre-wedding photos out there, but it was just so cold we took most of the pictures inside in the lounge.

New Action Portraits Website

I’ve just finished a major rewrite of my portraits website. I’m really pleased with the end result and very happy with the way it looks. But I would say that wouldn’t I? I’d love to hear any comments and feedback about it, good or bad.

Birthday Photo Session

purepix — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:58:03 +0000

I had a great photography session with Ellie and eight of her friends on Sunday. We hired out Saracen Studio in Milton Keynes, the girls all brought along lots of enthusiasm and a wardrobe of clothes each. The two hours we had in the studio flew past, but we did have enough time to get some fantastic portraits and group shots.

Karting at Whilton Mill, Daventry

I attended a charity kart racing day on Saturday. Paul Lee Davis was a well liked Club100 karter who passed away from leukaemia. A trust fund has been set up to provide fun days out, treats or a break away for young adults aged 17-40 who are receiving treatment for any type of leukaemia or lymphoma at the haematology unit at New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton.

Here are a few pictures from the day.

Family Portraits in Northampton

I had a call from Jo, who’s wedding I photographed a couple of years ago, asking me to come and take some photos of a family get together they were having in Northampton. I really enjoyed meeting the family again and taking some family portraits, as I had met every one at their wedding.

Family Portraits in Banbury

David & Sherin wanted some family portraits with their new born daughter Lila-Rose. Scruffs, their adorable labradoodle dog was also keen to get in on the action, well he is part of the family as well. Lila-Rose wasn’t too cooperative to start with as she was hungry, so after a feed we tried again and got some great portraits.

This is my favourite family portrait from our session

Lucy & Tim’s Wedding at Dumbleton Manor, Evesham

purepix — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:37:27 +0000

Lucy & Tim got married at Dumbleton Hall near Evesham on Thursday. This was my first time at Dumbleton Hall, and I must say, it really is a beautiful place for a wedding. Even now in December, there is a wealth of fantastic photo locations. I would love to be a wedding photographer here on a hot summers day.

Here are some of my favourite wedding photos from Lucy & Tim’s wedding.

Family Portraits in Woodford Halse, Daventry

I was Holly & Kevins wedding photographer back in August 2010, and I was delighted to hear the news of their first born son, Finley, a couple of months ago. I visited their home in Woodford Halse yesterday to catch up with them and take some family portraits. Here are a few of my favourites from our photo session.

Charity Abseiling at Guys Hospital, London

purepix — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:24:38 +0000

Just as I thought the abseiling season was coming to an end, I had a booking for The Lily Foundation to cover one last abseil at Guys Hospital before the building gets a face lift. I was expecting to be very wet and cold up there, but as it turned out we had a beautiful November day and got some great event photos.
