Bathroom Photos

I like taking photos, even of subjects that might not seem the most inspiring, and I especially like taking photos that showcase other people's talents to help them promote themselves.
In the case of this gentleman, the standard to which he installs bathrooms is a pleasure to behold. Capturing them is not always easy, as they tend to be quite confined spaces, so I hope these pictures do them justice. When his website is up and running I will include a link.

The Lol Goodman Band, Live at the True Blues Club, Earlestown.

Last Friday I had the pleasure of photographing a gig by the Lol Goodman Band, at the prestigious Blues venue known as the True Blues Club, Earlestown Conservative Club, Newton-le-Willows.
The band were amazing, and the venue superb, with great atmosphere, lighting and dry ice.

Storybook Wedding Photography at The Three Acres, Huddersfield

Rather than just share photos from the wedding, I have the pleasure of sharing some pictures of a finished sample album, which turned out rather nice (not just my opinion, Nicola and Matthew were over the moon with theirs).
The front in this case is printed on a sheet of brushed aluminium and the pages are metallic paper. It is sized at 30cm x 20cm, so would be slightly less cost than my usual 35cm x 25cm.
If you would like to have a look at the samples and handle them, please get in touch, as the Italian quality is rather stunning.

Rock & Roll Wedding at The Place Hotel Manchester - Photos.

I have finally managed to get round to blogging one of my favourite weddings from last year, that of Carl & Kelly at The Place Hotel, Manchester.
With a heavy metal theme, complete with skull wedding cake, skull jewellery and table decorations, instant tattoos for all the guests as table favours, and first dance to the Foofighters, it was a rather memorable day. 
Coupled with two people who were so much fun to be around, and enjoying one of the best days of their lives, with visitors from as far away as Sweden, it was such a pleasure to be a part of.
 The sensible wedding cake...






 A masterpiece of wedding hair in the making...
 The men...  It doesn't get much cooler than this...

 One of those time when you just have to trust the wedding photographer...
 He didn't need this for the courage, he was so chilled anyway...
 I'm not quite sure what was happening here, but I think it needed doing whatever it was.
 And the big reveal. One of those times when I just love a mirror in the shot.
 A penthouse apartment in Manchester is one great place to get ready to get married.
 In a lift with 11 crazy women. It was rather a bizarre, but fun situation.
 Even for a seriously rock & roll wedding, there were some very delicate and pretty components...
 The look...! Always a fantastic moment in a wedding.
 Love the colour theme.

 Totally un=posed, spontaneous, and VERY passionate kiss. Second one as a married couple.
 And I just love the setting.
 Jagermeister? Chilled? Ice sculpture skull with a Jagermeister luge. What a good way to cool it down.
 For such a hard-rocking pair, the love and tenderness was beautiful to observe. A very special couple just being themselves. How I like to shoot.
 Lots of heavy metal all over The Place!
 I'd love to know what he just said..!

 Traditional posing was NOT what they wanted.

 Urban Manchester landscape. Great for wedding photography.



 More heavy metal, just fitted the theme, and they loved it.


 A Swedish wedding game, Mr & Mrs with shoes. Interesting answers to questions.
