When the going gets tough…pull rabbits out of a hat.
Last Friday, the wonderful Caroline Brown of ‘The House of Rose and Brown’ held a Vintage Fashion Fair in Victoria Hall, just over the road, in Saltaire. This was one of my most challenging shoots of the year. I set myself the task of photographing as many of the Vintage clothes as possible during a [...]
Turning the mundane into the extraordinary… Matt’s suit fitting.
Being a wedding photographer is not all Glam you know. Sometimes the sun doesn’t shine so brightly on the brides big day. Occasionally the bride doesn’t get a full nights sleep the day before and make-up just can’t cover those tell-tale bags. Perhaps the couple can’t afford a venue that looks like Buckingham Palace or [...]
A Great Victoria wedding with Rachel and Gordon. (.. and kilts and songs and a good ceilidh)
No car! I had no car! Darn clutch! It seems in a Landrover, you need to take the engine out to repair the clutch. Big job. It’ll be ready on Tuesday…. Whaaaaat? Next morning I get the taxi to the Great Victoria Hotel, then on to Rachel’s.. so far so good. Actually, very good. My [...]
Rebecca & Greg – Anticipation
I met Rebecca some years ago when she modelled for me around the time of her first book. It was ‘Lucy’s Monster’ and I remember reading it at the time thinking how different it was. I love a book that get’s me involved and this dark, menacing story set amongst some familiar locations, actually managed [...]
Romantic candlelit portraits, lit by, erm, well, just a few candles really. If it’s good enough for Rembrandt…
At the end of the wedding day I often set up a little slide show featuring some of the pictures from the day. It’s a great way to show the evening guests what happened before they arrived and also excites those who are featured in the pictures. It’s also a little side show. A slide, [...]
Phew, made it to the Church on time! Dee and Danny part 2
It was a glorious day in April. (The hottest April since records began) The service was upbeat, relaxed, absolutely spot on at St Mary’s in Garforth. We had the Brownies and Girl Guides as well as the Choral singers. Dee and Danny are a fabulous couple and here are some of those magical moments from [...]
Dee & Danny’s wedding at The Bridge in Wetherby…Part 1 – Getting to the Church on time.
“Hi Dave, We’d just like to say a massive thank you for all your hard work on Saturday. We had so many people coming up to us and saying how brilliant you had been on the day and how much work you’d been doing. We can’t wait to see the pictures that you’ve taken. Thanks [...]
Leeds City Centre weddings – A 1 Click Photography speciality with style…
It’s fair to say I love Urban weddings. I’m a Londoner, why wouldn’t I? I came to Leeds ten years ago and lived in a warehouse apartment in Great George Street with 60 foot ceilings and 20 foot windows overlooking the Town Hall. It was a photographer’s dream apartment. Loft style living on a budget. [...]
Outdoor Photography Magazine goes to Lincoln…
Received a phonecall from the excellent OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHY MAGAZINEÂ the other day which was a very different type of challenge. Would I walk around the streets of Lincoln taking pictures for the day? Of course, it would be my pleasure. No brief, just whatever I fancy. Wonderful! 4 photographers met up at the Magna Carta pub [...]
