Here in the UK often complain about the weather, rain, wind, lack of sunshine etc etc, but i try not to complain and make the most of what we get, my favorite months of the year are April and late September, the light we get then is very different, the sun never reaches high enough to create major light issues and comes down with such grace and then its gone, to catch the last of the sun you gotta be quick, 5 mins after this shot was taken it was gone, this was taken at Colwick Hall, near nottingham, this venue is great but never gives a clear landscape to obtain the best from the sunset, a racecourse and high tree bank beyond this stop the perfect sunset, but the sun was to perfect on this evening and we wanted it so a little odd placement of lisa, dale and myself and the shot was made, not perfect but in the circumstances a great shot.

Laura and Gareth had their big day at the Fabulous Blackbrook house, Derbyshire, a very intimate venue with great a atmosphere, it may have been cold but the weather was good for a winter wedding... enjoy the pics...

Wow, what a lot of white stuff fell out of the sky the morning of Diana and Robs wedding, super special day at east lodge hotel, near Matlock, bit stressful with all the slippy white stuff around but some great shots.

Fabulous images Karl and beautifully finished. Love the final shot where you've triggered the flash behind them - great rim-lighting and it's really enhanced the falling snow.
