Wedding photography & lifestyle photography

  It was a cold, frosty morning and the sky was white. I met Laura and Dave near Bickerton and the four of us (including their gorgeous dog Jess!) went for a walk up the hills. Visibility wasn’t brilliant but what we could see was beautiful. Every branch on every tree was laden with a thick layer of ice and as the wind rustled through the frozen branches it was as though the woods were making music. We’d never known anything like it.
Engagement Photographer Cheshire I don’t think I’ve ever visited Scotland in summertime. As far as I remember growing up, family holidays in Scotland always had one objective – finding snow! We didn’t see much of the white stuff during our brief adventure to the Southern Hebrides last month, except for a short time driving between Glasgow and Inverarary, when it was beautiful. This photograph was taken on the Old Military Road in the heart of Argyll Forest Park.

stunning x I believe in goals; whether they be mundane day to day errands or long-term life-changing objectives. I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions (January is too bleak to start denying yourself chocolate!), but I do believe in February resolutions. It may be cold, but the days start to feel longer and Spring seems just around the corner. Against my will, I’ve also become a list-maker and today I made a list of ideas to keep me on my toes in 2012. Then it occurred to me, if I share it with you then you can hold me to it…
Dream big. Life is full of opportunity, so keep an open mind and say yes. Don’t be complacent. Work hard and fight everyday to achieve your goals. James Joyce once said, “A man’s errors are his portals to discovery”. Try new things. Experiment. You’re only human and sometimes you’ll mess up; it’s inevitable. So make mistakes, but don’t make them twice. Learn and improve. Read and take inspiration from great literature. You like reading, make time for it! Continue to seek beauty in the mundane. Don’t tell people you see beauty all around you, show them! You are good, but you can always be better. Take any doubt you have and transform it into effort. Push yourself. Photograph everyday and be persistent in your quest for beauty. Explore with your camera. Visit churches, parks, markets, derelict buildings, beaches and everywhere else. Interpret what you find to be the essence of places and events in pictures. Share your adventures. Seek to depict what’s good and important in life; love, laughter and warmth. Tell stories. Deliver beautiful products of the highest quality to your clients. There is no room for compromise. Be true to yourself. If you believe in film over digital, in prints over jpegs and in albums over discs then make those things your priority. Have conviction. + 1 comment  13/02/2012 - 10:28
Fabulous x In August last year I spent four sizzling summer days in Paris. I wonder if there is a more beautiful city in the world?

Ooh la la, I recognise so many of these stops. Les Philosophes is a favourite on Rue du vieille temple!  26/01/2012 - 21:59
I think Paris is my favourite city too. I so love all you clean images there is a great simplicity about them. Now I need to go and look at flights to Paris  25/01/2012 - 09:21
