Luisa & Jay | Wedding

Weddings are always great, but when you get to spend the day photographing a wedding of old friends its even better. I was absolutely made up when Jay booked his wedding, and asked for me.  Another late season wedding, which turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year, with brilliant sunshine.

Bride prep was at the Vincent hotel, followed by a ceremony at St Maries Church, and a reception at West Tower.  Its always a great venue when everyone is sat out on the patio!

Hope you like the shots : )

Ann Marie & Jonathon | Wedding

Wow, the problem with being busy is sometimes you forget the things that aren’t a top priority, like keeping your blog up to date!! I’ve just realised that I’ve not added a couple of weddings from before Christmas.

I covered Ann Marie & Jonathons wedding with Mal from the ImageRoom, and had a lovely day.  With a great ceremony in St Josephs in Crosby, followed by a reception in the Tithe Barn, at Meols Hall the day was fantastic.  What made it better was great weather, it always seems to be the way that late season weddings have lovely days, we even managed to nip down to Crosby Marina and take some photos on the beach!

Anyway enjoy the shots!

Kay & Radley Haynes

I had great joy the other weekend in taking a few candids and formals for good friends of mine, Kay & Radley.  I normally don’t take on friends weddings, as I generally prefer to enjoy them as a guest rather than be working, however as Kay & Radley were officially married over in Greece, they asked if I would take the photos at the blessing in the UK.

It was an absolutely beautiful day, with great weather.  The blessing was held in a lovely church in Waterloo, Liverpool followed by a reception at the TreeTops hotel in Southport.

I’ve added a few images, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them : )

 

James Ian Murphy

OMG!!  Where does the time go !  It’s a phrase that you often hear but the last couple of months have simply flown by at ImageStudio!  With several studio shoots, external shoots and also a bit of product photography its been a manic start to the summer.

Let me introduce James to you all, he’s the pride and joy of two of my best friends on the planet, and I managed to drag them into the Studio to have some shots done.  James absolutely loved the camera as well as the studio flash and had a great time, I’m hoping to see more of him in the future.

Here’s just a couple of images as a taster!

 

Food Photography, I’ll have a go!!

Now most photographers know that Food photography is a specialist area.  Its not just the photography its all the setup, getting the colours correct etc..  So when friends at Greens Cafe & Bistro in Grasmere asked me to take some photos of their beautiful food for future cook books and also advertisement, I decided I would have a go and see what the pictures looked like?

Now I’m leaving myself wide open to criticism on this one, I specialise in taking photos of people at weddings, special occasions, fashion etc and here I am talking to a chocolate brownie asking it to smile!!!

I’ve attached some images for you to see, they are all shot in full manual with a SB900 flash setup wirelessly behind a lastolite soft box (Which is fast becoming my weapon of choice for a lot of shots!!)

Have a look and see what you think, and go easy on me!!
