Angie & Peter // Kirkstall Abbey, Leeds • Pre-Wedding photography by Barnaby Aldrick

On Sunday I met Angie & Peter at the excellent Kirkstall Abbey for their pre-wedding photoshoot. Kirkstall Abbey is a cool place, though I still get a bit mad with Henry VIII for messing these amazing buildings up, just cos he wanted a new wife. Here are the lovely couple in action! At first they found it a bit weird, and the background was doing the talking… But they’d brought Angie’s daughter Louise, and she soon got the party started… I love her expression in this casual family portrait: Working her spidey skills Check the jaunty, jazzy angle! I rarely...

Leeds Guide Magazine // Past Faves • by Barnaby Aldrick Photography

I was out on Leeds Guide duties today, shooting features for issue 234. What are the odds that the day I photograph a famous Saville Row tailor in his favourite £3K suit, that I leave the flat in a dash in last nights mud caked jeans? After shooting the tailor in a fancy Leeds Restaurant, I bounced off to snap a chaps city flat, swung by the excellent Sandinista to photograph (& eat) an amazing Mediterranean seafood stew for the ‘Chef Special’ feature, before heading off to the afternoon’s Curry Awards, to document (& again, eat!) the best starters &...

Adel Ghost Town // Leeds • UrbEx photography by Barnaby Aldrick

  Last week Mr Lester and I visited an abandoned Victorian youth correctional facility, called Eastmoor Reformatory, nestled away in the back of Adel.  It’s a massive complex dating back to the 1880′s, for naughty workhouse kids who’d turned to a life of crime.  We only saw a bit of the massive grounds, housing a full on church, pool, dentists, workshops and loads of accommodation outbuildings, all begging for a bit of Urban Exploration… Such institutions were once more commonly called ‘borstals’; facilities where young offenders and children who were failing to integrate with society were sent to a secure...

Tracie & Scott // Woodlands Hotel, Leeds • Wedding photography by Barnaby Aldrick

Introducing the lovely Tracie & Scott… Clare & I joined them on a beautifully sunny Autumnal day at the lovely Woodlands Hotel, just outside Leeds. When 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 nerves! Fortunately there was a bit of booze on hand to maintain steady nerves! I do like a tasty shoe shot. One of the fab little ladies, taking a few moments to get used to my presence… Tracie’s maid of honour, Joyce, was a star. I like...

Clare & Paul // Yorkshire Dales • Wedding photography by Barnaby Aldrick

May I whisk you off to the ‘changeable’ Yorkshire Dales for the wedding of Clare & Paul? Come on, don’t be shy. If you’d like to set the scene with their pre-wed, click here. Warning: This blog is epic.  There are 56 images below, so I’ve cut the blog in half, and you need to click more to see the 2nd half. We started our day at a Clare’s folks place; familiar to us as we’d photographed her sister Kate’s wedding the year previous! It was cool to see Clare, Kate, Dom & Clare’s ace parents again. In fact, here’s...

Scott Hall Mill // Leeds • UrbEx photography by Barnaby Aldrick

My good man Mr Lester & I recently took a little explore at a derelict Mill I run past nearly every week in Leeds. I’ve always been intrigued to find out what was going on in there… This is one part of the imposing mill, this bit still in use. Chin stroking, security scoping & pondering access points… There’s nothing like a warm welcome I heard St. Annes was more upmarket than Blackpool. Having recently been to Blackpool, this doesn’t necessarily strengthen the case… Wise words… As usual, the building was locked down pretty tight, to keep out naughty kids...

Louisa & Ben // London • Wedding photography by Barnaby Aldrick

Guess where? No prizes there kids! A couple of givaways in shot. This summer I was lucky enough to be asked down to the big smog to photograph the fantastic central London wedding of Louisa & Benjamin.  I know Louisa through her sister Mel, who runs the excellent Verve Bar in Leeds where I host my Sunday Service band night.  You may remember the fun pre-wed we shot back along [Check out the post here] of them outside the Farringdon tube station & nearby markets and London sidestreets.  I didn’t wanna make the shoot too ‘London’, with the classic Big...

The Wardrobe’s 10th Birthday • Fusion video by Barnaby Aldrick Photography

Hey kids.  Man – I have been busy!  I’m getting lost under that no-time-to-blog cloud, and all of a sudden you’ve too much to blog!  Woe is life. But here I am, to the bequest of my fanbase!  Or something. Sicily pix have been filed but are still in the pipes, as I’ve been trying to stay afloat on recent weddings.  It’s been a case of hitting the ground running since holidays, but a mui tranquillo November is becoming more than just a spec on the horizon. In other news!  In association with theSoundGallery.co.uk I was asked down by The Wardrobe...

[b]school / Randall Network Blackpool Get-together pix

Who’s that gimp on a beach trying to look like a model?? Let me explain… I’m part of a fantastic and supportive photographic network called the Randall Network, set up by the clued-up Stewart Randall.  He and many of the other togs in this network are also members of the giving photographer & branding guru Becker‘s [B]-School.  In association with these two fine collections, we decided that after a summer’s hard graft we should have a get together in Blackpool for fish’n chips, salty sea air & to put faces to names.  My 3B media partners in crime, Mr Barber...
