Engagement shoots showcase.

Just a few shots added to a show. Hopefully giving you a good idea of what an e-shoot is.
Enjoy.

Ruth and Con`s engagement shoot in Llandudno.

Con and Ruth are getting married later on this year and they took up the offer of an engagement shoot.
They live down near London and rarely venture this far up so it was great that the weather was on good form for them while they were here.
Very much looking forward to the wedding now!

Matthew`s operation

Matthew went in for his tonsil removal operation today.
He came through it well. Annie was more nervous than him I think.


Even Woof Woof was tagged :~)

Rosie and lee`s engagement shoot in Bangor on Dee, North Wales.

I`m shooting Rosie and Lee`s wedding in just a few weeks time so took the opportunity to get a bit of practise with them both. These shots are all taken on the farm that is owned by Rosies parent`s and is where the marquee will be on the wedding day.
So stay tuned for some bride in wellies shots after the wedding. I can`t wait, it`ll be awesome!

Welcome to Spain- part 1.

Thanks to the wonderful Thomson airlines we arrived safely in Spain to find one of our suitcases totally trashed. How it happened between Manchester and Reus is anyones guess but hey! Here`s the evidence of some top quality baggage handling. Even the padlock was screwed!






We emerged from Reus airport to find it raining. Great start to our holiday eh?
On a lighter note, the storm in the evening gave me the chance to get my first ever lighting shots. I didn`t take a tripod with me so I just propped the camera on a table, opened the shutter and got these amazing lightning shots.
The rest of the holiday went superbly. More pics to follow.

I`m back!

Boo! Holiday over for another year.
It was awesome. A week in Portaventura with Annie and the boys. Waaaaayyyyy too short but hey!
I`ll get some pics up in the very near future but I`ve got so much work to catch up on.
It`s amazing how quick it all builds ups.
Oh well!

Jennifer and matthew`s e-shoot in Llandudno.

It was such a lovely evening we decided to go to llandudno`s west shore to shoot Jennifer and Matthew`s engagement photo`s. They are getting married this summer so took the chance, while the weather here is nice to have a bit of a practice.
Warm sun, a cool breeze and a cool couple. We had a blast and got some truely awesome pics for them.
