Having waited for nearly three weeks for Lesley and dean to return from there amazing American adventure honeymoon i can at last put up some of their amazing pictures from one of my favorite weddings of the year, Lesley and deans Christmas wedding which was held at the prestigious Colwick Hall, near Nottingham which is a Nottingham Wedding Photographers Dream venue. The temperature on the day was -5 but and snow and ice covered the ground but Lesley was a real star and we got some great shots outside.
Beau - ti - full, Lesley was simply stunning all day.....

Wow a sensational year is over and a brand new one beckons, i have set many goals for 2010 for my personal and professional lives but if i can get praise like this from my clients in 2010 then it is all worth while.
Bec and Ryan were a FAB couple below is there thankyou email they sent me!!
"We are so glad we chose Karl!
After seeing his stunning wedding photography online, we just had to meet up with him. His laid back manner filled us with confidence that he would be just what we needed for our special day.
Our budget was tight but we decided to spend most of it on the wedding photographs and we are so happy we did.
From the moment Karl walked through the door on the big day he made such a huge impact. Such a lovely, creative guy that helped keep everyone in check - not an easy task to say the least!
We were quite nervous about doing the private session as we hadn't really done anything like it before but Karl gave great direction and we got some fabulous shots.
Once we had the proofs, we had the hardest decision of all to make, choosing the images we wanted in our album. We managed it eventually and left Karl to design a masterpiece of an album. He did us proud! The only word to describe the end product is SENSATIONAL! Something we will treasure forever, no way is this baby getting put under the bed to gather dust!
Thanks for everything Karl, you have been truly wonderful and will come highly recommended.

It is that time of year to look back on what has gone by in 2009 and to look forward to the new year to come, 2009 has been a fantastic year having been invited to shoot many amazing wedding stories at some of the countries best venues (and the ones i make myself..ha ha ) but the best part is meeting some of the most beautiful Brides and uber handsome grooms, it is this that has made 2009 a GREAT year. I have taken my photography to new highs and with some exciting new projects for 2010 hopefully there is much more to come.
Merry Christmas to all my Brides and Grooms it was a great pleasure to attend your weddings and hope your 1st Christmas as husband and wife is your best ever.

Winter weddings offer so many unique opportunities for great images, despite the rain in the morning the sun shone all afternoon for Kirsty and lee's wedding, the ceremony took place at Elvaston castle church, we then departed for the Priesthouse on the banks of the river Trent, kirsty braved the cold to get some great images for her wedding album.

Funny thing about photogrpahing at the Priesthouse. Many of the best compositions are into the light but I do that too. Some photographers say not to do it but I go for it like you. Why not?

for those who follow this blog you may have noticed that blog posts have been a little sparse lately , this is mainly because the wedding season is all but closed down with just four left this year , this blog was intended from it inception to be about me and my photographic life but it took the shape of my wedding blog, but from now on all my work and life is going to be on the blog from my fashion work, my portraits, even my love of all things abstract will be here, i will also be having guest posts from various sectors of the photo world.
first off these are a few shots from a recent shoot with an upcoming model who came all the way upto the studio from Birmingham, it was our first shoot together, and i think Lindsey did great.

This past weekend i had the great pleasure of shooting Alison and Jez's wedding at Hardwick hall, one of Derbyshires great wedding Venues. Alison was incredibly brave as it was blowing a gale and freezing cold but she really wanted to get some fab shots and wouldn't stop until we had them, just a few from the day below as we are having speed issues with the blog so there will be fewer pics per post until we have sorted the problem.

Nice post processing effects again Karl ... I like the blue door photograph ... you can almost peel the crispy paint from the weathered gate ... brilliant!

Alison Stone says:
Hi Karl, they are as fantastic as I knew they would be! I cant believe how beautifully you captured the different colours of the leaves, the incredibly dull sky even looks good! Love the blue door one (which we forgot to open again afterwards!) they are amazing photographs....best part of our day by miles, thankyou.

HI Karl, Just a quick browse of your new site shows that you have put so much effort into creating a cutting edge window to your work, but still keeping the familiar style. It's got a terrific look about it and complements the way that you work completely ... and easy to navigate too! ... Kind regards, Roger
