Music Happens Here • Leeds College of Music album launch [by Barnaby Aldrick]

Last night I was asked along to the Wardrobe by Leeds College of Music to photograph their ‘Music Happens Here‘ Album Launch Basically, LCM students enter their creations and are vetted & trimmed down by industry experts; eventually becoming a highlights compilation to give the mass market at a snapshot of the fresh & tasty student sounds at the College. Try saying that in one breath. It was downstairs at the Wardrobe, one of Leeds’ best funk, jazz & soul clubs, just over the road from LCM. I generally recruit acts from LCM for my Sunday Service band night, as they’re all...

Woodlands Hotel Wedding Fair, Leeds // Saturday 26th September 2010

I’ve just realised it might be worth letting some of you know that I’m going to be at the Woodlands Hotel (above) Wedding Fair in Leeds this Sunday (tomorrow! The 26th September).  If any of you are heading along anyway or fancy popping by to join me in a coffee it’d be great to natter. I’ll have jelly babies & haribo on the table too, as even though I don’t do a huge number of fairs, they’re a tried and true tractor beam. Over the years I’ve shot a lot of weddings at Woodlands, for all kinds of clients in all...

Possibly my shortest blog ever! [by Barnaby Aldrick Wedding Photography]

Hey peeps! I just wanted to pop up a post to say that I’m working hell for leather to get this hectic summers albums drafted & images turned around for clients, so I’ve been a tad slack on the blog.  But I’ve all sorts of fun stuff in the pipes to show y’all; including the following: 3 Sunday Services worth of gig snaps (coming soon) Gary Stewart’s album launch, last week Highlights from Sicily ages ago (that somehow never made the blog) Not entirely sure how this justifies posting a holiday snap of me givin’ it gut-out superman, but hey....

3B Media // One-Day Wedding Workshop – A great success

Last Tuesday the 3B Media team (Rob Booker, Phil Barber & myself) ran our first One-Day Wedding workshop at Woodlands Hotel in Leeds It was an ace day, filling 8 eager minds with details on how we 3B approach wedding photography Mr Barber kicked the day off with a classroom session on the importance of the pre-wedding shoot Then Phil & I split delegates into two groups to show delegates how we shoot 2 pre-wed couples, before letting them take turns shooting. We wanted to use real couples, rather than models, to show the love and also to show how...

Anne-Sophie & Richard // Wedding in Klingenthal, France – by Barnaby Aldrick

Last weekend I was lucky enough to shoot another foreign wedding in France!  This time I flew solo to the Alsace, around the France/Germany/Swiss border. I’ve known Rich for years & flew out a few days early to hang out and sample the local cuisine.  Rich and Anne-So (who’s French) used to race the rats in London, but have since moved to the pretty town of Cernay (hence the French wedding).   I’ll probably post some pics of the area from our days before, including a day wearing silly hats in Strasbourg, but if you’re sitting comfortably, let me show...

Gay Paris // iPhone Hipstamatic Photography [by Barnaby Aldrick]

I’m just about to head out to France to shoot another exciting wedding, this time in the Alsace.  It’s my 2nd wedding of the year out there and I’m thoroughly enjoying playing the international wedding photographer card!  Not least because it’s an opportunity to squeeze a little holiday in around it. When we were last in France for the wedding of Deborah & James (post here) Clare & I spent a day and a half moseying around Paris.  Even though I had all my tasty glass & toys with me, I decided to shoot the city from my iPhone. I’m...

The Leeds Festival 2010 Part 1 // Music Photography [by Barnaby Aldrick]

On Bank Holiday weekend just passed, between Friday & Sunday weddings, I was lucky enough to blag a press-pass to this years Leeds Festival via Leeds Guide. I always seriously enjoy photographing at this fest, in no small part to do with the flood of light they they throw at all the stages, making a refreshing change from splashing around, dragging slow shutters under one muddy red light in the corner of a local bar!  But Leeds Fest is also a great op to catch a whole load of new music too.  ’Togs are only allowed in the pit for...

Mel, Phil & little Holly [Photography by Barnaby Aldrick]

Back in March, Clare & I popped in to see our pals Mel & Phil & their adorable one week old, Holly. I took my camera to take a few snaps. Awww – like a real foot, but BABY! I love how babies copy what they see.  Look at Holly’s ace expression. Yesterday, 6 months to the day later, we went round for an ace dinner & look who’s got all growed up! …and who’s still doing the same expression! Mel & Phil are an awesome couple who own & run the ace Merrion St bars Verve & Reform in...
