FAMILY PHOTO SESSIONS:
Family shoots usually take place at a mutually agreed location where I will spend a few hours with you and your family. I always aim for these sessions to be a relaxed experience with not too many restrictions on time.
The most important element of these sessions is that you and your loved ones have a fun experience and that we get some lovely natural shots in the process. I always look to capture the very essence of the family spirit and look for those special interactions that occur. I aim to get a good mix of shots, some close ups, some with the kids on there own and your family all together etc.
When outdoors, I don’t go for setting up major lighting rigs or asking people to pose in ridiculous, uncomfortable or unnatural ways.
I do make suggestions at times, sometimes I may even introduce a prop or two, perhaps suggest a favourite teddy bear etc. I very much like to take photographs when I know that everybody is nice and relaxed and very much being themselves. This means taking time to be with the subjects and not rushing to get done. Just nice, relaxed and informal photo shoots that are fun as well as productive.
I have tried to keep my packages simple and to make sure that you get great value. The images that you receive on USB are yours to keep and print. You can share them with family and friends, put them on social media etc.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY:
My approach is a candid and reportage style. In a natural and relaxed way I aim to capture all the fun, laughter and love that occurs over the course of the day. There is always a good amount of quirkiness and natural magic that happens on wedding days. So if you are looking for something a little bit different and distinctive, then perhaps you have arrived at the right place.
Wedding days are such wonderful occasions. I have been extremely lucky and privileged enough to have attended many. Each and every one has been different in so many ways, but all are unified by the same wealth of emotion, joy, laughter and love that prevails on such occasions.
For a photographer who likes to photograph people and capture emotion, weddings are the most exciting of environments.
Photographing weddings is a great deal of fun. All the anticipations, excitements, and at times flamboyance and opulence’s that go with the special day, serves up a rich environment for the ever ardent camera wielding photographer. Everything from the stunningly beautiful to the downright outrageous can occur during the course of the day and it is an absolute joy to be able to capture and document it as it unfolds.
Your wedding day is an exceptionally special celebration of who you are as a couple. I believe that the photography element of the day should be as discrete and as relaxed as possible. It is my job to tell the story in the pictures that I take, not to invent the story with constant demands, directions and instructions.
This is not to say that I will not communicate with each of you on the odd occasion. I have found that, at times, things do occur that feel like a great idea or something may present itself as being a bit of fun or indeed quirky. Different environments and locations can throw up all sorts of interesting opportunities and at the end of the day I hope to bring my wealth of experience and creativity to the party. Usually though, these will always just be suggestions on my part and as far as I’m concerned, the day will continue to flow as it should and I will be there in the background to record the fabulous day.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN SCHOOLS:
WE LOVE OUR SCHOOL – Photo Package.
The ‘WE LOVE OUR SCHOOL’ photo package is school photography but not like you would imagine, not in the traditional sense at least. What it offers is a unique snapshot of how your school operates on a day to day basis.
How it works:
The photo shoot will occur during a typical day at your school. I take documentary style photographs capturing the spirit of the school and the wonderful activity of how things run over a regular school day. The images that I produce are then the schools to use for publications, i.e. annual reports, school leaflets and letters out, the school website, foyer displays, VDU slideshows, screensavers, emails and much more.
Gomersal First School Photo Shoot
It’s far more cost effective than using stock imagery and the photographs are unique to your school, telling your very own story.
If you are interested in finding out more including costs, please get in touch with me. It will be great to hear from you and your school.
EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY:
If you are having a birthday party, social or corporate event and you would like some great images of the occasion, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and tell me about your celebration, ceremony or special occasion. I don’t have specific price packages for events photography as I have found that different people have different requirements concerning time, location and other specifications. I would, however, be happy to hear from you and discuss what sort of thing you are looking for.
Documentary style photography is really the art of telling a story through pictures. Capturing the mood, the colours, faces and theme of an event in a way that truly reflects how things are unfolding at the time. To chronicle what is going on in an objective and truthful manor.
My modus operandi lends itself very well to this way of recording events photographically, looking for the special detail and little idiosyncrasies that are the makeup of what is truly going on around me.
The images that you receive will be a beautiful array of post production edits of the day.
If you would like more information about how I work, please send me a message through the CONNECT page. Perhaps you might like to have a look at the Q&A page or even some of the TESTIMONIALS. I will look forward to hearing from you.
