Greetings! Well, I’ve been back from our three week January break in Australia for a good few days now and apart from getting some quality time in with the pooch, I’ve basically been chopping together a wee holiday video to remind us of our trip; taking in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & Fraser Island. Check it out: The music is the beautiful ‘Hush’ by Aussy folk-duo ‘Angus & Julia Stone’ (track and album available to buy here) I was inspired by a post fellow snapper Cris Matthews pointed me to on f-stoppers.com (here), entitled ‘How a professional photographer should document a vacation’. It...

James Pearson - I smiled and laughed throughout the whole film. You shoot amazing moving pictures and your editing is wonderful! Way too many highlights, but I particularly liked the vineyard sign left and right (thumbs up) and your impression of Clare snoozing and chewing gum… and a million other clips. Looks like an amazing holiday.

G’day readers! Just a quick explanation for the radio silence, in case you’re wondering where the regular blogs have gone, or have tried to email … We’re off to Australia to catch up with our migrated mates, my Aussie family & to catch some winter sunburn! …think of me while I’m kindling here on Fraser Island! I’m looking forward to playing with my new Sony HX9v while I’m out there, so expect more enviable blue sky blogs on my return! Keep it creative peeps, B

A very Happy New Year to you all! I hope your evenings were all they could be, and hope 2012 brings promise & fun for all of you! On Friday, I joined Sarah & Henry to photograph their wedding at Norwood Park in Southwell, in Nottinghamshire. Norwood Park’s such an ace place for wedding photography. It was one of the early venues I shot in my wedding photography career, for my (now) good friends John & Helen. Last time I was there it was a glorious summer’s day, and this time it was one of those winter days that just drizzled pretty much...

Last week I posted a blog of images shot one beautiful day deep in the Yorkshire Dales (post here). The reason I was up was to going a lovely upcoming wedding couple called Sophie & Rob! We were up in the Dales to have a nosey round their simply brilliant wedding venue, Bolton Castle for their wedding early 2012. It’s on the fringe of Satnav’s comfortable zone, and Jane tried to take me up various exciting tracks and across gated fields full of cows. But I finally found myself up in the pretty village adjoining Castle Bolton, not far from Leyburn....

Happy Boxing Day peeps! Hope your Christmas was ace and you’ve left over turkey, pringles and baileys to get creative with! One of my favourite things about Xmas is the Christmas special of my gig night, The Sunday Service. It’s on the last Sunday of every month, generally showcasing three ace bands from near and far, at Verve Bar in Leeds. The Christmas Special Brew however, is always my fave of the year, as we ask back a whole bunch of bands that we’ve enjoyed over the year, and get them to play short sets of 3 songs each, including a...

Hey gang! May I wish you all a wonderful Christmas! (Christmas Kyra says hey too) Watch out for that festive food coma! May I take this opportunity to genuinely thank all of you who stop in to read my little photo blog. Some of you are upcoming clients, some are past clients who still enjoy check out my wedding images and some are prospectively hunting down their ideal wedding photographer. Others enjoy my Urban Explorations and pics of my pooch dressed as Star Wars characters; some are buddies of mine following links through my Facebook and Twitter feeds, and some are just...
Chris Jackson Photo - Well Done Barnaby. I for one, get quite excited when I see a blog post on twitter from yourself, you post some great inspirational shots for myself as a young gun getting into the wedding photography business.
Look forward to seeing what 2012 brings.

Happy Christmas Eve all! Last weekend I was up at Bolton Castle in the heart of Wensleydale (nowhere near Bolton!) to do a pre-wed at for a wedding I’m shooting early next year. It was an impressive building indeed, and I’m gonna be doing a separate post about the stunning 14th Century medieval castle and pre-wed shoot with Sophie & Rob in a few days, but it’s positioned in such a beautiful part of the Dales that I thought I’d do a post of images I blazed while in the area!The sun was beginning to peep out on my way through Wensleydale...
Jane Barlow - Hi Barnaby, These are terrific photos. Simon and I had a 4 day honeymoon in this area, so it has really good memories for me, aside from the obvious beauty of nature. Thanks for posting them. Happy Christmas too!

Happy Christmas Eve Eve y’all! Some of you dear readers may know I host and organise a band night in Leeds called the Sunday Service. It’s a free night at Verve bar in Leeds on the last Sunday of every month and our mantra is to champion the cream of the North’s singer songwriter talent and pay them in beer and pictures. It’s always a great night where music fans come to respectfully listen to good music, and bands play all the better in that listening environment! First up were the amazing Garforth & Myers, so named cos Rory Garforth is...

Jane Barlow - I love this series of pictures. You can hear the music through them.
Jane Barlow - Barnaby, the second to last one, of the bass player is STUNNING. I am sure that could be used commercially for something. I’d hang a large version of it in my lounge:-)

Last Friday, I went out with Clare’s work for their Xmas party to Brutus Gold’s Love Train, at the O2 Academy in Leeds It was the ‘Christmas Disco Ball’, and the perfect opportunity to get our fancy dress on! So before we hit the road I thought I’d snap our outfits for posterity… Clare was a jump-suited Disco Queen! …and I cobbled together a funky disco/cop outfit from the Tyler Durden fight club replica Soul Revolver jacket Clare bought me for my 30th, with selection of eBay auctions finds; including an original vintage 70′s shirt, sunfire sunnies & dubiously ginger...

It’s kinda quiet time in the wedding world at the moment, so for a bit of a laugh yesterday, I hooked up with good buddy & excellent musician Dave Pilla, and we filmed a music video on my iPhone 4S. Check it out: Pretty crazy what you can do with a phone eh?! For the geeks out there here’s how I did it: I took one iPhone 4S (which has a great little HD camera on it, though exposure is more manually controllable with the ProCamera App) clicked it into a Glif, a low profile iPhone fixing with a tripod attachment in...
Simon - Cracking effort! Nice song too.
