Sometimes simplicity is awesome. Love some good natural window light. The beautiful bride and the image make themselves. Captured at the South Causey Inn.

Bonfire night wedding at The South Causey Inn. The have LED lights everywhere which always looks great so I whipped some extra lights out my bag to help frame the couple beneath the tree. No flash here just ambient from the lights.

3 light setup to achieve this photo. It was a cold winter wedding and had rained all day, it was still drizzling when we shot this photograph too. Captured in a car park with plenty of fun.

Shot at Lartington Hall in Barnard Castle, the venue is sublime. This is the entrance to the venue and knew it would make for a great creative portrait. I used a key light for the bride and groom and a magenta creative gel behind them to light the room.

Taken at around 5:30 am in the Lake District on a private Jetty overlooking Ullswater. It was such a beautiful morning and perfect for a silhouette.

I think this was one of the last photos I captured at The Jersey Farm Hotel before it went into administration. Luckily it has been taken on by the Apartment Group and will be a 5* opulent venue by 2021-22 and name Runa Farm. I love the Sky in this photo. It was awesome on the day so we nipped outside for about 5 minutes and grabbed the shot.

Love the tones in this beautiful image captured at The South Causey Inn Old Barn. I went to school with Sarah so it was an honor to photograph her wedding to Lewis. That dress and Suit. Trendy!

Jaime-Lee looking amazing in this beautiful dress at Hallgarth Manor in 2019. The blue room works so well with the warmth of her skin. 3 Lights used to create this photo, 2-speed lights in the back corners for rim lighting and a key light softbox camera left.

Captured at the stunning Wylam Brewery. This was captured about an hour before sunset and involved multiple flashes and colored gels to light the columns as well as a key light and rim lights for the couple. A very complex photograph to create but I hope you agree it looks awesome.

That awesome Christmas feel! Captured at @derwentmanorhotel Xmas 2019 at the wedding of Selina and Carl. The stags lit with fairy lights were an instant attraction. I threw a Full CTO gel backlight into the mix to create this awesome backlit photograph. The fog in the air helped to create the lovely light rays.
