When Katy & Flora first got in touch, I was immediately excited! They were getting married in The Hepworth Art Gallery in Wakefield. I began my photography career round the corner at Wakefield College, almost 20 years ago, one of my first projects was on black and white film at The Yorkshire Sculpture Park photographing some of Barbara Hepworth’s work!

This pair were planning a relaxed, laid back day, with a ceremony in the gallery, drinks reception with epic canapés, and a veggie feast later on. It actually rained for much of their wedding day…but it didn’t dampen spirits (see what I did there?), and when the rain stopped we got out for some fun couples photos.

It was one of the most genuinely heartwarming, emotional weddings i’ve been part of. Flora & Katy just have this immense love for each other, and genuine compatibility that is honestly rarely seen.

In the evening they put on a swing dance workshop for their guests, which was lots of fun.

Thanks to their fabulous suppliers:

Venue & Food: The Hepworth Art Gallery

Flowers: Alchemilla Floral

Cakes: Sarah & Cake

Swing dance workshop: Robert Shield from Swing Dance Leeds

A big thanks to Sophie who was my second shooter for their wedding.

Here are some highlights of their day.

Cat & Dean’s Sheffield Town Hall & Brocco On The Park Wedding

Cat & Dean planned a springtime, small, informal wedding at Sheffield Town Hall, with their reception at the wonderful Brocco On The Park.

Brocco on The Park is a small, boutique hotel & restaurant near to Sheffield City Centre, on the edge of Endcliffe Park. It’s a perfect location for a more intimate wedding, with AMAZING food!

The bride & her Mum did all of the flowers and decor details themselves, love a good bit of wedding DIY…

Their ceremony at the town hall was so lovely, Cat & Dean’s toddler son totally stole the show though! I bet when Cat was planning her big day, she didn’t expect to have her face driven over by a toy car repeatedly… but everyone was in stitches and the photos are priceless.

It was a gorgeous, bright sunny day, and Sheffield Peace Gardens outside the Town Hall was sooo busy, but I managed to find the perfect little spot for some group and couples photographs without anyone having to squint into the sun.

We headed over to Brocco afterwards for a relaxed reception, with singer Georgia entertaining guests on the terrace. It was a very chilled out atmosphere and perfect for what the couple wanted for their special day. We popped outside for ten minutes for some couples photographs and besides that I just captured all the big and little real moments whilst everyone had fun.

Here are the highlights of their big day….

Educational Conference Corporate Photography Yorkshire

Tags: commercial photography,conference photography,corporate photography

Back in January I was delighted to capture a higher educational conference, where I was working on behalf of Fat Panda.

I captured the workshops, seminars, drinks receptions, gala dinner, sponsors, and various team building activities…some spontaneous headshots… and even some axe throwing… all just in one day!

The brief was to create relaxed images that captured the atmosphere and varied nature of the conference, and create images for the website, brochures, social media, newsletters, and to promote future events.

Here are some of the highlights of the day.

Becky & John’s humanist, rock & roll wedding at The Storyhouse Chester featuring Stormtroopers & Mario Kart

Becky & John wanted their wedding to be fun, and a celebration of all the things they love. They threw out the rule book when it came to planning their day, and chose things that worked for them, and hoped their guests would be on board…. and they absolutely were!

They had their big day at The Storyhouse in Chester, which is a brilliant building housing a theatre, cinema, library, cafes and more…

They walked into their ceremony with Stormtroopers, which was lead by the fantastic Jordan Tunstall…and featured both hand fasting, and a karaoke sing along. Moving into the evening, the Mario Kart tournament was legendary, the mosh pit was banging and everyone had a bloody good time! The Party Punks brought an epic live band… and I kept meaning to leave but somehow couldn’t bring myself to. Check out those dancing photos….

I actually met Becky when I was 7 at primary school and we’ve kept in touch over the years, it was an absolute delight to photograph her and John’s big day. I absolutely love it when couples just chose to ‘do them’ on their wedding day rather than conform to traditions that don’t suit them as a couple.

Here are some highlights of their day….

Rock Choir, Barnsley (Community Charity Event)

Tags: barnsley,charity event,corporate event photography

PINIMAGE

Just under a year ago I did something i’ve wanted to do for years! I joined a choir. Rock Choir, to be precise. I finally took the plunge and went along to a taster session, I was warmly welcomed, and I knew straight away this was something I wanted to be part of. Our choir is made up of lots of people, of various ages and backgrounds, with a mutual love of singing, even if before choir it was only in the car or the shower. We meet once a week in term time, and also get to join in local and national performances and events. I just find the atmosphere so uplifting, no matter what mood I went there in. Our leader, Kate, is fantastic, and so funny, she always has us belly laughing.

Rock Choir love to get involved in charity events, and in March we put on our own. Our chosen charity is the Lily Grace Cunliffe Foundation, which helps families with poorly children, to make their lives a little easier.

I loved the way everyone came together to put on this event, and I was asked if I’d mind capturing the event…. and as I definitely take photographs better than I bake cakes, I quickly agreed. I feel like I captured the fun and emotion of the event…

Here are a few highlights….
