Here are some images from the gorgeous wedding of Dominique & John, in Acle, Norfolk.
A beautiful day and one very relaxed bride, add in some lovely children to help set the scene with my documentary photography and you have a pretty perfect wedding.
Sunday 6th August Norwich was awash with thousands of runners, as people of all abilities took to the atmospheric streets of one of Britain’s finest cities.
With the sun beating down, the runners got started by ex Norwich City legend Grant Holt from the open top bus on Gentlemans Walk.
Smiles were definitely the order of the day, as runners completed the 10k course, coming across the line to cheers of the huge crowd.
A thoroughly great day and a pleasure to photograph.
A recent commission saw me at St Bede’s school in Cambridge for orchestral rehearsals, featuring some of the top musicians of the area as they prepared for their much-anticipated performance.
The young musicians came together at St Bede for Three days of full rehearsals and fine tuning as the school was turned into a real music environment.
The brief was to document some of the musicians, demonstrating their talent, passion and excitement of the rehearsals.
The talent of these youngsters blew me away, especially some of the percussion guys, who had that edgy cool vibe that could quite easily see them ‘hit the big time’ in the future.
A little more corporate photography recently on the Suffolk/Cambridgeshire border… shooting with a couple of strobes and utilizing the gorgeous light from a bright office, some pleasing imagery was achieved.
In a few weeks I have the pleasure of photographing the lovely wedding of Ant & Martine in Norfolk.
For a little warm up, we headed to the beach at Waxham, in Norfolk on a beautiful but windy day.
It was a real pleasure shooting images of them, such a fun loving and affectionate couple, who made the photography side of things just perfect.
In the August edition of Suffolk Magazine, is the illustrated feature of my time spent at the quirky & lovely rural airfield in Beccles. A wonderful example of passion and hard-work in running a CAA approved airfield in this corner of Suffolk.
“The light warm breeze carries the unmistakable smell of the countryside while the wind sock at the far end of the airfield flutters and the unmistakable hum of an airplane engine carries on above my head.
Eyes darting through the cloud and across rich blue sky, I scan the area for a sign of the approaching plane, suddenly it sounds as though an engine is cut and within what seems like seconds the clouds above me are lit up magically. Brightly coloured canopy’s scatter themselves at varying stages of descent. A few years ago, that would have been me. Watching the skydivers land across the runway and fields I wonder if I still have it in me.
The Cessna Caravan having emptied the load breaks through the cloud, suddenly swinging down onto the runway, practically brushing the tops of the trees, it comes to almost an immediate stop. A handful of eager looking skydivers are ready and waiting for their flight to the drop zone. It sure is a busy day for the pilot”.
Ever wondered what it would be like to be part of a ‘colour run’…?
Well, last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing competitors at the Colour 5k in the wonderful ground of Hoveton Hall Estate – what a complete blast that was…
Photographer covered in paint, camera covered in paint and lens dusted with colourful cornflower – thank goodness for clingfilm and tape!
Really excited to announce I’ll be running a workshop with the folks at Access Community Trust this summer… The photography workshop is perfect for anyone with an interest in photography and is a great opportunity to produce some wonderful photographs and exhibit them locally…
A couple of weeks ago I met up with the lovely Dominique & John, who are getting married soon.
They both work within the city and chose the area around Pulls Ferry for us to meet, to talk about their wedding and for me to shoot a few images of them to get them comfortable in front of the camera.
After a little while in the sun (and with my shirt wet through – my goodness it was so hot!) we headed for the shaded and cool stone of the Cathedral – a welcome break from the heat for us all.
A terrific morning with a lovely couple.
Rather privileged to head back to Anglia Ruskin University to work with a marketing client, obtaining a selection of editorial portraiture for their forthcoming PR use.
Using the interesting surroundings of the Lord Ashcroft Business School, we managed to dodge the harsh sunlight, employ the use of a couple of reflectors and then add a little fill light with a couple of soft boxes
