Weddings, Beauty & Tattooed Fashion

First up, a few pictures from an engagement shoot I did for Laura & Anthony. They wanted a few different shots as they both love the 50s, are learning to Lindy Hop and love vintage glamour!

Then, back in July on a very hot and sunny day, I photographed their wedding at Ingestre Hall in Stafford. This was the most perfect wedding - every detail had been thought of from the vintage car to the mis-matched china for the Pimms! Laura & Anthony also run a burlesque night in Lichfield (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) so it couldn't be more fitting for them to host a small burly revue as part of their reception. Acts included Scarlett Daggers and my good friend Missy Malone, as well as Ant's own band, Johnny & the Speedos. It was such a good night that my assistant and I didn't leave until gone midnight! I want to thank Laura & Ant for thinking of me for their wedding - if every wedding could be like this I would die happy *welling up a bit at the mo...!*

Next up, here's a shot from a beauty shoot that I collaborated on with MUA Roseanna Velin. I'd been wanting to work with Roseanna for a while and I'm really happy with the results.

A few new photos from my high fashion tattooed model project featuring Millie Dollar and Beatrix Von Bourbon...

Playing catch-up...

Ok, firstly the promised sneak peek of the photos I took of Imelda May and her band when they played the Gloucester Guildhall. The results of these can be seen in her new album 'Mayhem' on the insert....

As I said before it was an amazing gig and I got some amazing shots from the side of the stage. I think these really show just how much fun all the band have when they play.

A few weeks ago I collaborated with photographer Sarah Powell and makeup artists Kerry Baines and Hayley May Watkiss on a candy themed shoot. We did a couple of looks on each of the models, shooting some sugary bright colours on some and then some edgier fashion styled shots.

Next up, a shot for vocalist Rosie Storr's CD cover...

MUA: Cher Simmons

Back in August I shot Adrian and Becky's wedding at the Mount Hotel in Wolverhampton with Samatha Knight Photography.

Finally, just for fun, here's some shots of me and fellow photographer Emma Tullet mucking about in the studio!

Mammoth Catch up - Mua test, Vivien of Holloway, weddings, Imelda May and more!

So, it's been ages since I updated. It seems I've been running around trying desperately to catch up!

Firstly, here's the results of a colaboration with makeup artist Cher Simmons. I'm really interested in doing more art direction shoots, especially with weird and wacky makeup! I love these photos!

MUA: Cher Simmons

Model: Missy Malone

Secondly, some more shots of Missy Malone for Vivien of Holloway...

Next up is a few shots from a wedding I did on a very hot and sunny day in April for Niki and Mark.

Lastly, I also recently shot with Imelda May and her band for some promo shots. I went over to Gloucester to meet up with them at the Gloucester Guilhall. I got hopelessly lost in Gloucester, my SatNav insisting on trying to take me into pedestrian areas! Luckily I was rescued by a lovely lady who I stopped and asked for directions. She insisted in jumping in my car so she could take me there (you wouldn't get that in Brum!). So a big thank you goes out to her for finally getting me there (unfortunately I can't remember her name, I've a memory like a sieve!).

So, I shot a few pics with the band before Imelda arrived and then with all of them just before the doors opened for their gig that night. I think we managed to get well and truely in the way of one of the bar staff who was throwing a wobbly (and beer kegs!). I then stuck around and shot the gig from the side of the stage - I've never been so hot or sweated so much as Imelda can't use air-con as it messes with her voice!

Photos will be coming soon so keep your eyes peeled!

To finish off I thought I'd leave you a lil pic of me taken by one of my fellow photographers, Gemma Gaskins - this is me folks! I'm lucky that Gemma is such an awesome photographer!
