Last weekend, Clare & I took our new pooch Kyra for a good run up t’Dales, to scale one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks ‘Pen-Y-Ghent’ We parked up at the picturesque village of Horton-In-Ribblesdale, which was bathed in beautiful low spring sunlight With a ‘pack-up’ on our backs (Clare’s childhood term for a packed lunch)…
Last Friday I joined one of my upcoming wedding couples, Clare & Rob, for their pre-wedding meeting at their venue Holdsworth House near Halifax. It was great to catch up with them again. When they booked me I could tell immediately that they were a fun couple with cool ideas in mind. After discussing logistics over…

When I was young I used to get told off for playing with my food. Now I’m older and wiser I do it anyway, cos there’s no-one to tell me off. Like Calvin & Hobbes: “Live & don’t learn, that’s us” But I do like an egg in the morning, and love snapping em with…
Last week I spent a couple of days in my dogs spiritual home Staffordshire to network and party with a bunch of amazing UK photographers. Basically, I’m in a relaxed Network of primarily wedding photographers, and we always meet at the start & end of the wedding season to hang out and geek. Last year,…
Immense pics of an awesome couple of days! x
Wonderful storytelling in every sense can’t wait for the next one!
Absolutely wonderful pictures Barns, even though I’ve already looked through them at least a dozen times before your blog post it was a pleasure and an inspiration to walk through them again accompanied with your thoughts. Thanks for the lovely words about my work, you’re too kind!
And thanks for the photos of me, I love them (and so does my mum!!) 
Loving the tilt shifties, I must invest in one myself, tried my hand at a Photoshop effect but failed miserably!
What does one need to do to get invited into the gang one wonders?!
Love the pics Barns, you caught the spirit and characters of our little group in your inimitable style, a fantastic couple of days, looking forward to the next one already!
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 17th April). 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…
Check out the latest addition to our household… This is Kyra! She’s a rescue dog we’ve taken on & given a ‘forever home’ to! The story is that these fine folk noticed their neighbours weren’t caring for their dog (she was getting left in the yard, unwalked and underfed), so being pet lovers they volunteered…
She’s so cute! The night crying is heartbreaking but worth it in the end! Hope you have lots more fun together.
SUCH a cute addition to the family… Particularly love her more inquisitive poses
Your blog posts always make me smile barnaby, like proper ear to ear grinning, Tonight it made me cry. Dogs + Togs = Special Relationship.

Great pictures – I totally identify with the besotted feeling of having a rescue animal. Our rescue kitten is the centre of our lives, including our almost 11 years old tom cat Herr Otto. Lovely to see your “other half” too. Kiwi greetings.

Loved the story of how you Kyra came into your lives- bet she still sits on the sofa though!!

Above are the lovely Lisa & Andrew. I photographed their big day yesterday. Although I’ve a silly packed year ahead of me, it was my first wedding of the season and I was excited to try out a bunch of new lenses I’ve acquired. It was at the lovely Wentbridge House Hotel near Pontefract. Apart…
For some bizarre reason I’ve signed myself up for a 12 mile walk in the lakes this summer with a bunch of nutters from Clare’s other job. The chap organising it decided to stretch our legs with a practice 12 mile walk round where he lives in Scisset, near Hudderfield. I saw it as a…
Great pictures, although the day looked a miserable wet day. And Barnaby, 2 grand on a lens?!!…
Love this post Barnaby! great photos you made a rainy day look fun… so what’s the conclusion?? 1.4 or 1.6 they all look fab to me!!
Preceding the wedding season, is the pre-wedding season (surprisingly enough)! It’s the time where I bounce around the country reconnecting with the summer’s upcoming wedding couples. I like to meet them over coffee to talk logistics, snoop round their venue & get them used to being photographed. I include a pre-wedding practice portrait shoot in…

It feels like forever since Clare & I were in Stockholm for her 30th Birthday break. I posted the first batch of images on this post. It’s an very cool & chilled out place to visit. Probably better when its not -14 degrees, but here are a few more pictures that caught my eye. Even…
Absolutely beautiful images.
