Brace yourself for a seriously fun wedding! And another epic post! Cos we got a Ukranian-themed wedding to show off! The lovely couple this time were Sonya & James, over Bradford way. Let me start by saying, Ukranians know how to party. Get a load of this… Sonya’s family are Ukranian, and there was a…

I seem to spend my life at the Woodlands hotel recently! This time I was dropping in to meet Tracy & Scott for their pre-wed meet & chat. After a quick chat it looked like the heavens were about to open, so we took a sharpish turn around the grounds! They look well chilled out…
[...] I shot Tracie at the pre-wed (here), she & Scott got so nervous before hand they spent a bit of time in the pub to loosen the [...]
A little while back, I made another visit to one of my fave wedding venues in Leeds, the lovely Woodlands hotel… For the civil union of these two fine fellows, Matt & Nigel! We’d done the pre-wed shoot at Woodlands a few weeks prior (check it out here) & they were totally relaxed in front…
Last week I saw U2 at Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield, on their northern leg of the 360 Tour. Myself & a few local photographers moonlight at rock togs in association with The Sound Gallery, and Phil tried his luck getting press-passes for the U2 show. As it turned out, on the morning of the…
Hi, just been looking through your photos and have to say, they are very impressive! I was at this U2 show and I thought it was absolutely amazing. My first U2 concert, and we were lucky enough to get into the inner circle. It was such an amazing night! Unfortunately I didn’t manage to get any good pictures, but these are just beautiful. 
I’m on the train home rinsing the free wi-fi and thought I’d throw up a few faves from yesterday’s central London wedding of Louisa & Ben (hot off the sensor!). Bridal preps were at the swanky Waldorf Hotel in Holborn, and the girls were having their hair done at Ginger Group round the corner. After…
One sunny day last week I dropped the top & drove an hour north to meet Clare & Paul for their pre-wed in the Dales. I photographed Clare’s sister’s wedding in the dales last year and this time it’s Clare’s turn to be the bride. Clare & Paul are loads of fun, love walking &…

A while back after writing a wee post about my fave stateside bloggers, I was blessed when a certain Mr David Jay heard about my post (via Google Alerts I’ve since learnt) and made a kind post about me on said famous blog. My traffic hit the roof and has stayed high since. A little…
Nice one! David Jay is definitely from the school of free-thinkers and information-sharers which I dig
I’m so happy that you had the chance to meet DJ. I was a blog stalker of his for years and just got the chance to meet him last year in Denver and hi lived up to all my expectations. He is the coolest, most sincere person in the industry. I hope to one day be half the photographer that he is. I now stalk your blog because of the link he posted on his blog. I am inspired by your work although you are half way around the world. I love that that about the internet! You are awesome! Keep bringing the amazing photos!!
In spite of the wedding-filled summer, I’ve taken on a few extra Leeds Guide shoots for LG colleague & fellow wedding tog Tom Arber, who’s been swanning about Ireland on his honeymoon (be sure to check his beautiful post about it here). Leeds Guide shoots are great to keep things interesting, and my lovely work…
A few weekends back I was down in London on business & pleasure, shooting pre-weds and catching up with buddies. It was particularly cool to join up with my man Mark & his fiance Clare. Mark & I met back in ’99, volunteering at a spinal injuries centre in Bangladesh. Over there we had a…
Love the tube pics – the expression on the lady in purple’s face is fab.
They look like an ace couple!
Amigo, once again you’ve excelled yourself! Sorry for the tardiness – am in DR Congo at the moment so a bit slow on the turn.
The pub is the Spaniard’s Inn – good beers, great garden, excellent food, four centuries old and haunted:

And the park is a bit of a secret. But for those who want to know and fancy a challenge, it’s not far at all from the strange animals in Golder’s hill… Inverforth Close…
Talk soon

Last weekend I was down in London to shoot a few pre-weds for upcoming London weddings. In between I had a lovely time catching up with various buddies I’ve met along the way. I stayed with pals Rob & Nicky (who’s wedding I made the movie out of) and we went out for an amazing…
oh man did I just howl at that last fart joke…classic! Anyone who says it’s inappropriate is still silently laughing on the inside. Those same people may also one day explode
Rob Booker - Mammoth Barns, mammoth. Interesting, engaging and as always, thoroughly beautiful.
Emma - Love the shot of the bride and groom entering the church, the bridesmaids chatting in church and the groomsmen laughing outside.
The dancing looks like heaps of fun and the ice cream van is an inspired touch.
They will have such fab memories from these pics!
Philbarber@mac.com - Wow! – What a great day – Vodaka Dancing Vodka Dancing Wedding Vodka Dancing. great set of images and capture the day perfectly.

Lori Moss - I don’t know if I wish I were Ukranian, but now I definitely want to go to a Ukranian wedding! Excellent post.
John Jepson - Fantastic pictures reflecting a most wonderful day for Sonya and James. I was unable to attend as my family live in BC Canada. However I got a real “feel” for the day with the eye catching photo’s! Good luck and God Bless to all!!
Uncle John, Devon and family
