Becca & Dave

Had a great time last week shooting these crazy pair in beautiful sunshine around Manchester. I shot in some new locations and visited some old ones I favour. Below are some of my favourites from the shoot.

It was Dave’s first shoot and he was great but I am shooting Becca next week on 1-1 which should be great.




One of my personal favourites and in a telephone box!






Hilton Hotel Manchester – dress session slideshow

Portrait shoot and feeding the ducks

I took some shots in doors before taking my son down to a place where I love to shoot, Castlefield in Manchester. We took a loaf of bread to feed the pigeons and geese that swim on the canal and hoped to lure some birds in close for a dramatic shot which almost worked! I also use this opportunity to check out some possible new shots that may work for future shoots etc. We had some fun and the birds had full bellies so was a win win day.

Hilton hotel Manchester – Cheshire weddings

Last week saw me manage to grab one of the last remaining places on the Cherish the dress workshop with well respected photographers Damien Lovegrove and Chris Hanley. The whole concept is very much about creating stunning imagery and making the dress the star! Many may have heard of trash the dress which I am a fan of so if there are any brides out there that wish to shoot on the beach or on location then please get in contact as I have some great locations in mind.

Once the workshop is over then the creative element of post processing comes into play to really help make the images sing. Here are some of my favourite shots from the day because for me photography is very much about personality, passion and expression and I think I managed to capture some tender moments and some natural laughter between Lisa and Shaun.

Thank you to all concerned, I had a great time and met some great photographers.

Dean Murphy portraits – Hilton Hotel

I had a portrait shoot recently in the rather luxurious Hilton Hotel (Deansgate) with local Jazz singer Dean Murphy. At first he was a little nervous but soon got into the swing of things and started to show his infectious personality and passion for performing. We shot in Cloud23 and the light just floods in making it a joy, we managed to get a good variety of shots completed.

Here are just some of my personal favourites from the shoot, thanks again Dean and Laura you were great to work with, thank you.
