We recently shot a Fab pre wedd shoot of Paul and Louise, The venue was the amazing Rufford Abbey, which is a great Nottinghamshire wedding venue, we had a  ball all over the park, but i have just put a few that we shot actually at the abbey walkway as we were so early in the morning the park keepers hadn't opened up the ruins until we were just about to leave...

What a pleasure it was to shoot Louise and Fabrizio's pre-wedd shoot and boy did they rock it, I choose one of my favourite secret venues for the shoot which has some of the most amazing old steam and diesel trains, the smell of the place just reminds me of my childhood at the train depot with my granfather who was a train engineer all his life.
Lou and Fab's Wedding is at the beginning of may at Calow Hall in Derbyshire which is one of my favorite wedding venues to shoot amazing wedding photos and may has to be one of the best months to  hold a wedding with come great sunsets and early evening light.... i cant wait....

The weather wasn't great for the get to know you shoot with Kerry & James, but we still had great fun. We had the shoot at Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire. little did we know the grounds would be closed for laying of new paths so we did what we could where we could. Kerrys wedding is on the 1st of May @ a church yet to be decided........ vicar issues im afraid, I for one am shocked by the arrogance and rudeness of some of the church of England vicars ,at the end of the day they are being paid a lot of money for very little of there time, i will stop there as the Rant could go on a while...

Wow is the only word i need to say to describe the shoot i did with Asche and John a few days ago. We met  up in Nottingham city centre and decided the lace market would be the best place to do the shoot, i hope you agree they were great, and i cant wait to shoot their wedding in June.
