It has been a hectic month indeed! Not only have we been blazing at loads of weddings every weekend (3 last weekend), but we also just moved house (during peak wedding season!? Smart move?) but I’m also about to go off to Africa for a month’s charity photography with a charity called Link International, who…

Yesterday, Clare & I photographed our third wedding this weekend (!), joining Leo & Angela for their big day at Woodlands Hotel in Leeds. While Clare stalked the boys, I joined Angie & the girls at their stunning house for the bridal preps. In their wonderfully bright conservatory I found these puppies hanging perfectly. And…
The shape of the curves on the first photo is fantastic
Sat in the Maldives waiting for our seaplane to Kuredu Island, and we thought we’d check the blog. ‘Awesome’ I think sums it up. Really pleased, some absolutle crackers and can’t wait to see the rest. Enjoy Africa. L&A
Yesterday Clare & I joined Kelly & John to photograph their wedding at the beautiful Oulton Hall in Leeds. I first hooked up with the gents to catch them causing mayhem on the range. This wasn’t the first swing this dude missed this ball… My instructions were something along the line of “Do something other…
Love the sepia group formal photograph – everyone looks like they had an ace time.
Yesterday I joined one of my most excellent couples Emma & James for their wedding at the stunning Mitton Hall, in Lancashire. It’s a crazy place. An ancient hall that’s been converted into a Boutique Hotel, that’s hugely inspiring now we’ve got a new house to play with. Besides, anywhere that proudly hangs paintings of…
Hi Barnaby, Emma and i are sat in the airport waiting to go to hawaii, looking at the photos so far. They look amazing and we cant wait to see the album. You and claire were fantastic all day, thank you so much, we will cherish them forever. Love james and em.
Great set of photos
I do like their pre-wedding portrait session.
I’m a busy B at the moment, in the thick of wedding season. As well as that I just moved house last week (hence a short-lived radio silence) and at the end of the week (on my only free weekend between May & August) threw a housewarming BBQ slash England Game slash fundraiser for a…
Looks lovely up there!
When I meet potential clients, I often harp on about the importance of the Pre-wedding meeting. It’s such an important part of my style and process. So using the recent pre-wed of John & Kelly at the lovely Oulton Hall last week as my models, let me explain the reasons why they rock… 1. A practice…
Last weekend I joined the lovely Emma & Matthew (above, and not in that order) to photograph their wedding over at East Riddlesdon Hall. Not only are the two of them absolute legends, but they’re both creative types with a real appreciation for photography. They really understood what I was after & after a pre-wed…
Last weekend I was at Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire shooting wedding photography for a pal & fellow photographer Peter Boyd & his lovely lady Kelly. I’m handing him the Raw files to process himself (‘shoot n’burn’, we togs call em), but when I was drifting through the files, I couldn’t help mesen, and slipped on Lightroom…
Wow, cool shots and an amazing location for portraits!
You may be aware that Rob Booker, Phil Barber & myself, all established Leeds-based snappers, joined forces last year to pool our skills into 3B Media. [FYI: The 3B's come from the B's of our nicknames 'Barber', 'Booker' & 'Barns'] Our common goal has been to create an exciting, forward-thinking company with 3 major goals: 1. To…
I was recently in a card shop & bought a David Shrigley card of one of his amusing photographs. Most people know him for his child-like, screwball doodles, but I love his silly photos of grim everyday places with a twist of stupidity. The things that catches his eye and sparks his blackly comic imagination…
oh this is cool! gave me a few ideas for my upcoming shoots..:)


Simon - Good luck & happy travels!
Emma in London - Wow. You’re going to love Mombassa – an amazing city. And the drive? It will be madness but how exciting. I’ve never been across to Lake Victoria but I guess you’ll see that too on your way. Can’t wait to see the pics.
Christopher Campbell - Sounds brilliant. Though i’m going to be bored now until your next update, which could be a while. I check this blog out everyday, with work being this quiet! Have lots of fun and share the pics!
Peter Lawson - Hope you’re having fun over there! Good luck!
