The Sound Gallery | Barnaby Aldrick Wedding Photography

Welcome to my photo blog!

Hi, I'm Barnaby Aldrick, a wedding photographer based in Leeds, England. I specialise in capturing laid-back portraits, incredible details and timeless moments at Weddings around the UK and beyond.

This blog follows both my personal and professional life and gives you a taste of the world in which I work and play! It's basically a cross between a personal photo album and an information source for current and potential clients. You'll find images from recent BAWP weddings, work I've done for publications, bands & images of interesting places I've visited, as well as the work I do with the photography training company 3B//Media.

While my Official Site shows my style of wedding photography, I like to post recent work here regularly. If you're hunting for an old post in the archives, use the search feature above. You can also filter posts by category, for example to only see 'Wedding' posts, or the 'On-The-Day slideshows' from recent weddings.

I'd love to hear from you. So if you enjoy a post, do leave a quick comment. Please don't be shy!

Summer’s Sunday Service Spotlight! [Music photography by Barnaby Aldrick]

Some of you may know that I host & promote a band night in Leeds called The Sunday Service, on the last Sunday of every month. It’s a cheeky little night in a small (but perfectly formed) room in the basement of Verve Bar. The night’s been running for coming on 3 years now and the night was originally born out of a desire to give my near and dear a reason to meet every month, over a quiet drink and to a (generally) guaranteed standard of musical calibre. As it’s only once a month, I feel I can skim...

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...

Sunday Service February // Music Photography • by Barnaby Aldrick

I run a monthly band night in Leeds centre called the Sunday Service and have only just found a moment to process the images from February’s gig. It was a cracking gig at Verve bar, featuring three solid and significantly different acts. Our old pals Katriona Gilmore and Jamie Roberts returned for another round… They’re an imaginative, colourful & unfairly talented folk duet about to tour on a new album. Jamie’s lap guitar has to be seen… …and Katriona’s fiddling while singing, to be believed. She’s told me how hard it was to learn to do that. If you wanna...

Hope & Social at the Studio // The Sound Gallery visit the Crypt [by Barnaby Aldrick]

Last week Phil Barber, Rob Booker & I joined our pals Hope & Social at the Crypt where they’re in the process of recording their second album. They’ve done various creative gigs and events at the Crypt before and for some reason had a feeling it was in a romantic hamlet on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. It turns out it’s nestled in the urban sprawl in Liversage, on the way out to Bradford. But the church itself is a beautiful old thing, and for a good few years, Hope & Social have hired the underground ‘crypt’ and converted...

The Battle of Plumpton & Sunday Service highlights // TSG Music Photography

Last week Phil Barber & I joined James Owen Fender for another round of his Battle of the Bands competition, in association with his Plumpton Presents band night in Leeds. James set up the competition to promote undiscovered bands and win a fantastic prize: some quality prizes, such as the winning band getting a track waxed by ace producer James Kenosha, which gets onto a limited edition Plumpton Presents Record (via ADA distribution) and get to play the Beach Break Live 2010 music festival. The competition had 4 heats, and I joined them for the Leeds College of Music leg...

The Wardrobe’s 10th Birthday • Fusion video by Barnaby Aldrick Photography

Hey kids. Man – I have been busy! I’m getting lost under that no-time-to-blog cloud, and all of a sudden you’ve too much to blog! Woe is life. But here I am, to the bequest of my fanbase! Or something. Sicily pix have been filed but are still in the pipes, as I’ve been trying to stay afloat on recent weddings. It’s been a case of hitting the ground running since holidays, but a mui tranquillo November is becoming more than just a spec on the horizon. In other news! In association with theSoundGallery.co.uk I was asked down by The Wardrobe...

Party In The Park [TSG]

Last Sunday was the 96.3 Radio Aire Party In The Park at Temple Newsam. I was asked along by Radio Aire to photograph for The Sound Gallery. For me, PITP is a festival flavoured hors d’oeuvres for the Leeds Festival at the end of August. It’s essentially a pop concert at Temple Newsam park in Leeds for parents and screaming teens to see their fave pop acts. Check out these screaming hormones when X-Factor stars JLF hopped on stage!! Genius. Don’t get me wrong, it was ace being in a rock pit again, but these bands were mainly bland boy...
