Spent some time at the STEW art gallery and studios in Norwich, Norfolk yesterday to take some pictures for their latest show. Have put a couple of pics below, but I have a full gallery of it on it’s own page here: STEW art gallery – Norwich

Some of my favourite group shots from the Wedding I shot recently in Norfolk.
An incredibly fun wedding to shoot as you can see!


Some more images from David & Louise’s wedding, in Norfolk UK.

Some first shots of the wedding I recently shot in Norwich, Norfolk. An awesome wedding, if only they were all like this!
These shots are just a small selection of the ‘getting ready’ shots.






Finally time to start adding some posts, I just havn’t had any time in the last couple of months, so I shall now try and make up for it!
Loads of recent wedding photo’s to put up, as well as many others..
Where to start!
Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few weeks, has been pretty hectic!
As well as all the normal work I have been working on the new look for the site the last few weeks, and finally set it live last night… after far too long messing around with it. Looks much better now, it needed a decent overhaul for some time now! As you can see I have new logo, which was created for me by Siobhán Bromley, her site can be found here. Thanks to Siobhán for a great logo
I photographed an excellent wedding in December, I will be putting up the highlights sometime soon.
Wishing you all a very belated happy new year!
I love this image, especially the arrow on the road! Yet another wide angle shot, I just can’t put the thing down. I think the top image is probably one of my favourites this year I think.


A lonely mountain goat, stumbled across him later on in the day whilst in the Pyranees. Wide angle lens fun


The ever wonderful Vaughn, always putting up with me lugging photo kit everywhere..
Still up in the Pyranees, taking in the landscape.

Just a short distance from the Spanish border, looking out over Southern France – watching the clouds roll across at almost the same level as we were, the air was just so amazingly clean and crisp.
Interesting mix of autumnal colours, moss and grasses – at a time when there is no snow around.



A small lavage in Manciet, Southern France. This is the place where the local people used to come and wash clothes etc back in them there olden days..

The green crystal clear water was a stark contrast to the drab, tired walls.

The local grape vines in mid October, in Gers, Southern France

A few images of French shutters, window and doors that grabbed my interest as I was exploring..



The last few weeks of autumn have just passed, and having spent the last couple of weeks in the South of France it gave me an oppunity to capture some more vidid colours, almost unreal and unnatural colours.
I’m not entirely sure what plant this is, but I’m sure I will look it up at some point…






This colours really are that vibrant, all I have done in post processing is adjust the contrast, and add a small amount if vignetting.. they are the brightest natural colours I think I have ever seen!
Have almost finished going through all the images from my that last week I spent in the South of France… I will add images as I come across them.
Couple of images here, first one I couldn’t help but photograph, as it’s my birthday date!


I just like them!
These 20p telescopes are awesome, they are like something out of a 50’s movie!

We had to have chips, they were the BEST chips i’ve had in a long time. Mnn Mmnn, Cromer chips

I’m getting a bit post happy today.. but it’s the weekend, it’s warm on the sofa and easy to type and post.. nevermind.
This is a quick black and white of Cromer pier, I love the swirl of the steps leading up to the entrance, and the pier glowing in the setting sun.

I love this pic, looking out towards Cromer pier, a slight desaturation in colours leaving the majority of the blue and a touch of yellow/green.

It’s all about the sky. I like the colours in these, and the sky just seemed so huge, it almost looks like a painting.


Two images I really love taken at the top of the cliffs in Cromer, North Norfolk. On the one hand I love the expanse to grass leading to the cliff with less sky, but on the other I love the huge blue sky and small amount of green grass… I just can never decide which one to go for. So as I couldn’t decide, here are both. You decide!

Lots of grass and less sky…

Or less grass and more sky?
A very eerie part of Bacton Woods… wouldn’t want to venture too far in there I think…



I couldn’t help but try and photograph this tree, the light was truely amazing, I just wish I could have photographed it the way it looked standing next to it. The bark almost looked like it was the texture of skin, which looked weirdly out of place against the rusty coloured leaves and muddy ground.
