Autumn Album Offer
A few years ago my in-laws celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, and there at the party was their wedding album. It was a bit tatty round the edges, but fifty years on, the pictures were there for everyone to enjoy. This is one of my favourites.

Old Library Wedding Photography: Maria & Mathew
In complete contrast to my last post, Maria and Mathew chose the vibrant urban setting of Digbeth (or should I say Eastside?) in Birmingham for their wedding. While I love shooting in the countryside, it’s great to be back in the city every so often as it’s such a contrast and there are so many interesting photo opportunities to be had.
Maria got...

Fazeley Studios Wedding Photography: Nicola and Damon
I'm starting May with a blast from the past. Three years ago on this very day, Nicola and Damon tied the knot at my favourite local urban venue, Fazeley Studios in Birmingham. It was such an emotional day, and Nicola punching the air with her bouquet as she walked back down the aisle is one of my favourite shots from 2014. Happy anniversary Nicola...

I started my wedding year down in Hampshire last weekend and I’ll be posting some pictures f...
