Fay & Greg - Huddersfield Golf Club

Tomorrow I have the pleasure of photographing the lovely Fay and Greg when the get married at Huddersfield Golf Club and it is the golf clubs first civil service to be held there, so already there has been quite a lot of interest.  So a couple of weeks ago we met up at the venue to have a look around and get some great shots in the grounds, it was a lovely day even though a little chilly.  Fay and Greg are very excited about the special day which I am sure is going to be fantastic.  Really looking forward to having a great time with such a lovely couple.

Katie & Robin - Pudsey Park

After all that snow there was a promise of sunshine, however it was blowing a gale.  I met up with Katie & Robin at the church next to the park as they were having their bans read, so it gave me an opportunity to have a quick look at the location, even though I will be going to their rehearsal nearer the time of their wedding.  We ventured into the park to do the pre-wedding shoot, with a very excited couple who are looking forward to their wedding and reception at Bagden Hall.  We took some great shots in the park grounds, which is a little jewel of a place in Pudsey, with Robin and Katie quite relaxed and ready to have fun.  I am certainly looking forward to photographing them on their special day in July.

Baby shoot with Olivia Iris

It was time to meet Gemma and Steve's little cutie Olivia Iris who is about 5 months old.  She is gorgeous and was very well behaved throughout the session, with mum and dad with also Grandma.  I had photographed Gemma & Steve's wedding a few years ago, also Gemma's maternity shots.  I will also have the pleasure of shooting Olivia's christening later on this year, so I am really looking forward to that and meeting up with everybody again and off course seeing the lovely Olivia for hopefully some more cute pictures.

Aryan's 8th Birthday Party - Sublime Science - Shibden Park

Aryan is now 8.  I have photographed most of his birthday parties since he was 3 years old and was pleased to be asked to photograph his 8th at Shibden Park Cafe.  Even though Aryan birthday was earlier in the month and had to be postponed because of the bad weather, a different venue was chosen, but all his friends were there.  A lot of these children have been friends for a long time, so it was nice seeing them again and how they had grown, though I doubt that they remembered me.  Obviously, a lot more nosier and boisterous than previous parties, which had included go-karting, baby-ballet and play gym's.  More grown up was this party with a scientist from Sublime Science (guy training to be a school teacher - therefore had patience of a saint), there was all sorts of experiments with audience participation.  There was noise, air, water experiments, Static Ball, smoke bubbles and gunge,  it was actually great fun.  Making their own sherbet was great, as the sourer the concoction the more sour faces.  Later on rockets were launched outside, followed by sandwiches and cakes.  Aryan had a great time and his now contemplating what he can do for his 9th birthday.

Mum and Baby Shoot

These are a few images from an impromptu shoot, after a meeting with one of my brides and her friend.  We did a couple of shoots of Mum and Baby, using natural light against a white wall.  The little girl is beautiful, happy and very well behaved and so was her mum.

Anne Marie & James - Weddings & Wellies

Seems like I had been a bit quite for a while, but no have done several Golf Club Portrait sittings and 3 Boudoir shoots, so not quite at all really.  Anyway Wedding Season is quickly approaching, with a very busy May.  So it makes sense to get the pre-wedding shoots of too a start, with the first one being Anne Marie & James who are getting married at Noristhrope with their reception at the fantastic Weddings & Wellies.  Sunday was a great and bitterly cold day, so we quickly got down to business., using various spots down the lane and making use of the the Yorkshire countryside. The ground underfoot was rather wet and muddy, so we were limited to where we could go, but used walls and brickwork as suitable backdrops.  It was hysterical when James tried to pick up Anne Marie - but he could not get a grip of her so it was a great funny moment.  Anne Marie chose Wedding & Wellies as they are animal lovers and wanted to have there reception on a farm, so this place ticked all the boxes.
