Advanced Wedding Photography Workshop

Hi again.

I have just returned from a very good two days Advanced wedding Photography Workshop in Essex run by www.JeffTurnbullPhotography.com/  The first day included a wedding shoot on an extremely hot outdoor shoot with two models Rees Warren and Alex Lindsay. The shoot was at the beautiful location of Maidens Barn near Chelmsford.  To the great credit of Rees and Alex they bravely bore the high temperatures despite many of the photographers - myself definitely included - wilting in the heat.
I thought you might like to see a few of my images below.

Any further work of mine will be displayed on www.HeadlinePortraits.com/

Kieran and Carley's Engagement Shoot

Welcome back to my Blog

I was fortunate enough to be asked to do some engagement photos for Kieran and Carley last Sunday. I chose the beautiful House and Gardens of Wrest Park at Silsoe in Bedfordshire. Fortunately the weather was kind to us and we avoided a few dark clouds which were scudding around earlier. Wrest House dates back to the early 18th century and has 90 acres of gardens which were modelled by Capability Brown. He certainly deserved his name ! The estate is now owned by English Heritage.
Thought you might like to see a few shots from the shoot.
Many thanks to Kieran and Carley who made it a lot of fun and my very best wishes to them both.

I am looking forward to catching up on some more training over the next two months. When business is a bit quiet it seems like a really good investment of my time and helps me to keep up to date. On Friday I am attending a two day Advanced Wedding Course with Jeff Turnbull in Essex http://www.jeffturnbull.com/and then a one day Lifestyle course in June.




Over the last few weeks I have been making marketing visits and distributing advertising material in person to 23 different places in Bedfordshire to try to boost my Wedding, Lifestyle and family business. It is refreshing to have face to face meetings in addition to the usual viral and internet marketing. Expect the unexpected ? I had an enquiry from one to photograph her two boisterous dogs. Well - why not !!
