Valentines – What will you give this year?
Please this year, no Mankinis or fluffy handcuffs. No see through Red Lingerie or anything with a bunny on it. Please, let’s not do practical either…. No cookery or DIY books. This is, after all, a celebration of love we’re talking about. Put a little effort into your gift, give it some thought, personalise it [...]
What can you expect from a £200 Funky Portrait shoot?
What is a FUNKY PORTRAIT Shoot? Simple. Great portraits of you looking amazing. That’s it. Really. Nothing to it. No boring, tired, cheesy smiles on a white background. FUNKY PORTRAITS are more like you’d expect to see in a glossy magazine. More personal, more individual, altogether classier… More you. (Or maybe, more like you’ve always [...]

Valentines – A time for lovers (The Intimates shoot)
his is the busiest time of year for ‘Intimates’ shoots. Our take on the ‘boudoir’ phenomenon. Originally our INTIMATES shoots were created for brides wanting something unique and personal for their grooms to be presented on their wedding day. This is still a big part of what we do but now it seems that even [...]
what kind of portrait shoot would you like?
Drive past any High street studio and you’ll see happy, smiling pictures of families on a white backdrop, looking back at you. The pictures will be large and the frames will be lovely. It will cost you around £40 for a one hour studio session and you’ll pay several hundred pounds for the large picture. [...]
A Funkadelic Funky Portrait
Funky Portraits are unique fashion style images of you looking your absolute best. Two things make a Funky Portrait different to anything you may have encountered before and that is Style and Quality. Look at a portrait produced in a High Street studio and what do you notice? Well, a large white backdrop is common. [...]
Darker, Moodier, Mellower… Uniquely, You.
A lot of my work is fun, funky, upbeat and often romantic. I specialise in weddings and social portraiture and we have a good time on a shoot. The mood is up beat so the pictures generally end up that way. A lot of my clients are true individuals though and they come to me [...]
Kids, Krazy Kidz – Bet you couldn’t eat a whole one!
ell, why on earth would you want to? Unless you cover them in Tomato Sauce to mask the flavour. But of course you can’t. – The Kids finished all the Tomato Sauce when you asked them to eat up all their peas. Darn those Kids! Those Rug-Rats! Those walking, screaming MONEY PITS!! Why do we [...]

Becky and Jimmy’s Wedding Book…
We started with the Engagement Shoot… It was at Granary Wharf in Leeds. I think we all had fun that day so we decided to continue the shoot another day at my base in Rawdon. I’ve often said that I have the best couples in the world and it’s true, I’m very lucky, but I [...]
Surrah and Paul’s Engagement session in Manchester…
I met Surrah and Paul at Howard and Mary’s wedding in Oxfordshire last year. It’s how I meet many of my couples. Next week I’ll be driving to Wales to meet Howard and Mary again, but this time, at Surrah and Paul’s wedding. These pictures were taken at their home in Manchester last month. I [...]
Yorkshire’s very own Posh ‘n’ Becks get married today!
OK, maybe James can’t play bend it like Beckham and Becky’s singing is confined to the shower but this couple are solid gold. Every bit as cool and so totally in love… (and you know I’m a sucker for a good love story) Here are the unpublished pictures shot a couple of weeks ago at [...]
Photographers are worse than train-spotters and how I missed out on £120 Million…
Laura and Christian are getting married soon. Exciting Times. I’ve met them before of course. Like so many of my couples, we met during another wedding. (In fact, most of my work comes from referals) For this engagement shoot we met at my new office base in Rawdon, Leeds and I was acutely aware that [...]
Pheonix rises in Granary Wharf
I try to get to know my couples as well as I can before their big day. It helps me get better pictures if I’m less of a stranger and more of a friend. In fact, I’ve become good friends with many of my clients. I first met Emma and Richard at Janine and Carl’s [...]
Ladeez and Gentlemeeen… I present, the new Posh ‘n’ Becks.
“Left Here” “No it’s not, it’s straight on, I’m sure it is” “Well, whatever, I’m sure it’s left” “Actually, I think we’re lost… Let’s just park here and get the photographer to come to us” … and so it was that I ended up in the Indoor Golf Cafe Bar in Little Neville Street, Granary [...]
A A Gill is away…
Had a couple of foodie days this week. First stop, The Cheerful Chilli in Otley Chevin. – I cannot believe that this has taken so long for me to discover. I’m a vegetarian and this is a vegetarian restaurant. We were made for each other, yet this was my first visit. Certainly not my last [...]

The Fun Photobooth Mini-Studio experience at Gail and Kevin’s wedding in Hazlewood Castle…
Every wedding I set up a Mini-Studio. It’s not an extra, it’s a necessity. My couples pay huge amounts of money to invite all the closest people in their lives to share this special day, so these people are important. Every single one. Often it’s the only time in years that the entire family gets [...]
Leeds Wedding Photographer shoots couple in dark arches! Read all about it! Extra! Extra!
When I was growing up in London, I always used to marvel at those Evening Standard Newspaper sellers on every street corner. What on earth were they saying? “Eggstrar, Eggstra reedallabaaatit! Manshootzcuppleinpaaaaark!” I mean really, it was a completely unique language. Maybe the stories were a lot more mundane than they made them out to [...]
