Aldenham Park: A Bridal Shoot

I was approached to take some images for a fabulous new venue that will shortly be hosting weddings….the wonderful Aldenham Park. Set on the outskirts of the Shropshire town of Bridgnorth it is an imposing home that has many wonderful features….most impressive (apart from the house itself) is its amazing long driveway…..that leads you into it’s equally impressive gardens. My brief was to capture the “essence” of the house…..with it’s many features, gorgeous stairs, big windows, amazing architecture….this was a dream to shoot in. If you would like more information about weddings or other functions at Aldenham Park, please get in touch with them owners via the link above.

Many thanks to my two beautiful models of the day…Kathryn and Annabel…you guys were fab….big thanks also to the uber talented Hannah, for her incredible dresses and to Ebenezers for their flowers.

 

Hope you enjoy the selection of images.

Image Of The Week

Time for that…image of the week post to be refreshed. This time it is an image from a recent studio shoot where the beautiful Summer came to visit me again with her Daddy….not much to say about this image really…other than it is one of those “quiet” images that packs such an emotional punch with those concerned…..it may not be the sharpest image…it may have other faults too…but for pure emotion, I think it hits all the right notes.

 

 

 

 

 

Adcote Hall School

This is one of those “hidden gems” nestled in the glorious shropshire countryside…a place full of beautiful architecture and stunning scenery, a place where a creative photographer can make his or her mark. The beautiful arched ceilings and gorgeous panelled walls just cry out for creative usage…for space to breath and display their abundance of potential. I have but taken a few images in a very short space of time…allowed free reign to capture the essence of this stunning place. I hope you will agree this is indeed a place of beauty and the potential is there…waiting for the love and the laughter of a wedding celebration, to fill it’s wonderful halls.

 

Massive thanks to the wonderful Chelsea who brought the dresses by ebenezers and to my two beautiful models Salleh and Vicky

Well done Phil on your nomination – well deserved, your pictures are just stunning. j

A brief Portrait session or two

Since opening up my studio in Oswestry by creativity and love for working with light has really taken of in all manner of directions….but mostly in creating mood and atmosphere….something I have always done with my weddings and even my commercial projects. It is so easy to shove someone against a white background and blast them with light….so easy that is why many studios opt for just that. To do a more “creative” and tenderly lit portrait session requires more thought and consideration. The lighting has to be thought about and carefully placed. This is why I love doing this type of work….yes it takes time, but the resulting pictures speak for themselves…if you would like to experience a portrait session that is timeless…creative and with thought and consideration to the subject…please get in touch.

And who knows…..you may even enjoy it.

 

All the very best
