The last of my December weddings was joining Kate & Barrie for their big day. These kids were so much fun to shoot. It was at Hazlewood Castle, a fantastic venue on the way out to York, still chilling under a dusting of snow. It’s always fun shooting there. Here’s the beautiful Kate, being made…

This week Rob Booker, Phil Barber & myself ran our first 3B Media ‘Inspiring Photography’ workshop, called ‘Urban Portraits’. We’ve been planning it for quite some time now and it turned out to be such a fantastic day! At the Round Foundry Media Centre near Leeds’ Granary Wharf we brought together 2 models, a make-up…
Well done to 3B Team, fantastic day and amazing images too! Great day.
Great work boys – looks like an fab day with some amazing results…
Hey Barnaby, Was nice to meet you this weekend at the Woodlands. Quite interested in the next workshop, and would like to hear your tips on post production and Adobe Lightroom. Would you be covering those subjects again as I know you discussed that in the first workshop?
Cheers
Chris
Myself and Snr Barber were recently asked to pop on our Sound Gallery hats and shoot some promotional images for the Leeds-based George Grant Jazz Duo. They had a gig coming up at the Loft Events Space, so we joined them for an hour beforehand to shoot a few snaps. Below are a couple of…
It was my brother Murray’s birthday this weekend. He’d hit 27 hard and rolled in at 4am the night previous. Lets just say it was hard work prizing him from his duvet at 12:30. ‘Gaunt’ would make a fitting adjective. Mum decided to round the troops at noon for bday Roast lamb! At noon fifteen…
Firstly! This is my 100th Blog post! Woo hoo! I think I’ll give my blog a very happy birthday card. Feel free to sing if you feel so inclined. I’m sure the “Happy birthday dear Barnaby Aldrick Wedding Photography Bloooooog…” bit will sound mint. But to theerious bidniss! I’ve been up to a bit of…
My girl Clare is Strictly Come Dancing OBSESSED. Ever since the season finishing in December she’s been somewhat lost and listless, pining for It Takes Two. I won’t lie it’s actually quite good telly, watching boxers stumble over their own lead feet, seeing Bruce Forsyth gradually go completely senile and watching the tasty professional dancers…
The second of my Christmas weddings was a Harrogate wedding celebration for Vicki & Simon, who’d married New York back in December. The weather was snowy, but not quite as snowy as it had been in Central Park where they married OUTSIDE, in the exact spot Simon proposed! I love that you can marry wherever…
Great set! I love the shot of Grandad in the chair. What’s that on your camera? video light?
Aha never seen those before. I’ve never tried spot metering with flash before – must give that a try. I guess you must have to move the focus point manually over the face, rather than centre-spot-and-recompose, or it wouldn’t work?
Thanks a lot for the tips, I’ll have a fiddle around with mine and see how it works out. I use the back button to focus, so it will take some nifty thumbmanship…
Beautiful work Barnaby… Love the vintage theme and all the personal touches.
That’s very clever, I hope my D700 can do that too, cheers again B. Sorry to turn the comments in to flash-nerdsville, back to your photos…
Fantastic Barnaby I do like your work, I Love the shot of the old gent in the chair.
Back in October we had a cheeky Randall Network catch-up at TGI’s in Leeds for photographers who’ve rallied under Stewart Randall‘s photographic umbrella. It was a social really, and lots of fun getting together with like-minded creatives. Afterwards we 3B had planned to meet our Urban Portraits workshop models to do a little practice shoot…
Awesome images, but I’m not surprised as I wouldn’t expect anything less. The course will rock those who attend.
The Christmas period is a great time to have a wedding. People are in good spirits, are generally on holiday and have the new year to look forward to. Plus you sometimes get snow! I had had a busy Christmas period, shooting 3 weddings – The first of which was with Sharyn & Maruice at…
Looks lovely. Some great photos, and everyone looked to have a fab day. The woodlands looks a great place to get married 
I recently turned thirty and last night celebrated this milestone with a good pal of mine, the lovely Jennie Chapman, who’d just turned 25. Cos fancy dress not only is fun but breeds fun, we decided to make it a Gangsters and Molls themed knees up. The theme could be liberally interpreted, and I was…
Now then
Stumbled across your site while googling something Leeds related and got stuck here for ages having a good read. Good to see you’re doing well and just wanted to say that, great as your photos were when we worked together, your new stuff is in another league old pal – really beautiful work.
These days I only really flirt with booking photographers but it’s becoming more of a regular part of the job, so I intend to give you a buzz the minute something appropriate comes up.
Here’s looking at you kid
[...] My good friend Mr Barnaby Aldrick had a significant birthday the other day when he left his twenties and started his journey into his thirties. Seems such a long time ago for me now! Anyway to celebrate the passing of such a milestone he held a Gangsters & Molls fancy dress party at the Adelphi in Leeds. It was a joint affair with the amazing Jennie Chapman celebrating her 25th birthday. I had a wedding that day so didn’t join in the celebrations until quite late by which time things were in full swing. They had a great local band called Rebel Yell and if you get a the opportunity you should check them out. Probably one of the fun parts of the night was that Barns set up a photo booth for everyone to capture alot of the fun and frolicks of the evening. Needless to say I got involved as the image above shows. I would like to say for the record ‘ I have no idea where the hat or the cigar came from!’ Checkout some more images from the evening below.

[...] and silly. So like at my Gangster & Moll’s themed 30th party back in January (blog post here) we thought we’d set it up at Clare’s bash [...]
