The weather outside is frightful // Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Firstly, I’d like to inform you that… Now a little about my past week’s festive shenanigans: Last Sunday was the Sunday Service Christmas Special it was a most triumphant evening. If you’re a regular visitor to my blog you’ll probably have seen images I’ve shot for The Sound Gallery of local acoustic bands playing at my Sunday Service night at Verve Bar in Leeds.  My pals & I have proudly run it for over 2 years now and we try to host only the cream of the local music scene and it’s great to see we’ve developed quite a following....

Dan Wilde Live Video // New Leads at Left Bank, Leeds • by Barnaby Aldrick

My buddy and all round skill musician Gavin Mart asked me along to photograph his ‘New Leads’ gig at ‘Left Bank’ arts space in Leeds last Friday. While I was photographing Dan Wilde (who’s played my Sunday Service night several times) Gav asked if I could shoot a little video and this is what I shot off the hoof (hence no stable tripod shots and some pretty ropey panning shots…) [Note: if the above video doesn't show in the Facebook feed, click here for the video] I know Dan well and love this cover he does of Richard Thompson’s ‘Beeswing’....

Georgie & Jonny // Misty Hazlewood Castle Wedding • Photography by Barnaby Aldrick

The last of my Winter weddings till after Christmas was with the lovely Londoners Georgina & Jonathan.  I really enjoyed meeting these two again at their beautiful wintery pre-wed at Hazelwood Castle a few months back (post here).  We had loads of fun and it was a joy to laugh and mess about photographing them.  I could tell they’d be easy work on their big day. The weather on their big day wasn’t ideal; umbrella flipping blustery rain, but we persevered and had a wonderful day.  Here are a few of my faves, beginning at the Georgie’s parents beautiful house...

Ich bin ein Berliner! // German weekend break • by Barnaby Aldrick

Last weekend Clare & I took a few day’s off for a winter break in Berlin! In spite of it being FREEZING we had an ace time roaming the streets, soaking in the great food, fascinating wartime & East/West history and gluvine! We flew in via the oft maligned but impressively cheap Ryanair, and caught the surprisingly confusing S-Bahn (suburban rail network) into town.  We changed onto the U-Bahn Subway and found ourselves on the U2 line, which actually had a Zoo Station!  I remember U2 recorded the groundbreaking Achtung Baby in Berlin in the 90′s and never pegged that...

Angie & Pete // Winter Woodlands Wedding • Photography by Barnaby Aldrick

Introducing the fabulous, the stylish, the glamourous Angie & Pete: A few weeks back I joined Angie & Pete for their winter wedding at Woodlands Hotel in Leeds.  It was cold and overcast, but loads of fun.  I shot their pre-wed with their cool daughter Louise a few weeks prior at Kirkstall Abbey (post here) and it was ace to hook up with them again. While Clare pottered over to the gents getting their kilts on (and thongs!) I caught up with Angie at their home round the corner.  I think I made that choice wisely… While Ange had her...

Leeds Guide Magazine // Xmas Party Shoot with Miss Harrogate • by Barnaby Aldrick

One of the shoots on last weeks Leeds Guide brief was to photograph Miss Harrogate in various party frocks from the shops of Leeds. Life is hard. This one was probably my fave and has my vote for the issue cover. Miss Harrogate is actually Vivienne Edge a pro model based in Leeds.  I didn’t know this until she turned up and it turns out she’d joined us for one of our 3B•Media flash days back in July – check the post here.  So it was great to already know that she was a pro and knew how to work...

Gran Torino, Munich & La Haine // awesome movies • thoughts by Barnaby Aldrick

I’ve find setting up filters in life help keep the best things coming your way.  It’s not devious or overtly strategic, but some particular pals are particularly geeky and keep me informed of new technological advances, some musos point me towards exciting new releases and some photographers drop me a line to let me know when they’re excited about things or have found something that might be of interest.  I’d like to think I’m part of this cog for others too, pointing them in the direction of interesting things.  I’d like this blog to have such an angle too. I...

Clare & Mark // London Wedding! • Wedding photography by Barnaby Aldrick

A picture may not always speak 1000 words, but this next one certainly sets the scene… I was asked down to London to photograph the wedding of my dear pal Mark Nunn & his good lady, Clare. I met Markwah & his sis in Bangladesh, of all places, and we’ve got on ever since.  He’s a man of many talents, a wordsmith & muso and has the eye, but often not the time, for photography, so I was honoured to get involved on their big day on October 30th this year.  I popped down to London a while back to...

Cool art deco poster // Barnaby Aldrick Photography

Just a quick post(er!) I was in a bar/restaurant in Headingley, Leeds the other day called Arcadia. It’s a bit of a Belgian-style beer house with a plethora of interestingly shaped bottles full of malty/fruity/nutty/cheeky 10% alcohol headaches. Here it be: The walls were covered with amazing Art Deco and Art Nouveau posters. I got chatting with the owner and he told me all about his love for this era.  He said he had to open a new room upstairs, because he didn’t have enough room for all his posters!  He told me he had a secret dealer who supplied...

Sunday Service // Mark Geary Special & October SS • by Barnaby Aldrick

Back in October the legendary Irish muso Mark Geary brought his pals Dan Wilde, Seamus McGloughlin & Ian Bailey to Verve for a special gig in association with my Sunday Service acoustic band night.  We’ve had Mark & Dan down before and they both simply amazing.  It may have been the hottest gig ever, because as it was heating up I cranked up the bar AC only to find later I’d inadvertently set it to heat. Not everyone was a fan of that move, but fortunately they was (if you’ll allow me to Alesha-ize my flex) distracted by the ace tunes....
