Working Away

Hello folks. It has been a while since my last post, and a lot has been happening.

I have had the fortune to attend a very special birthday party for someone who has been battling with a life-threatening illness but (fingers crossed) should now continue to live a healthy life without having to worry. This was my most recent assignment, and during the event I was able to capture some brilliant expressions and magical moments, along with more formal portraits of friends and family. The final product was put onto a disc, contained within a presentation box for keepsakes.

This gave me the opportunity to start experimenting with prints and collages. It has even inspired me to start going through old photos I have yet to publish.

I am currently in the process of refining my skills in layout design in anticipation of my next assignment and the possibility of a client requiring an album.

You may have noticed that the website is looking slightly different, and this is because this website has passed its second birthday. So to celebrate I have added more content, simplified the design even more and am looking at further enhancements.

Attendance at St. Johns Hotel Wedding Fayre

On Sunday 8th January, some of the best local businesses catering to the needs of couples organising their special day gathered at St Johns Hotel in Solihull for the West Midland Wedding Show.

It was an extremely successful day for everyone, even channel 4 arrived to do some filming.

The displays of stationary, confectionery, apparel, entertainment and car hire looked stunning and it was a great opportunity to take some photos.

The majority of the businesses were more than happy for me to take photos of their products when asked, so I have been fortunate to come away and share with you the best pictures from the day.  You can see a larger selection of photos from the wedding fayre on flickr.

If you were there that day and have a story to tell then please feel free to leave a comment. If you are from one of the businesses who I was fortunate enough to meet and take pictures of your goods/services and you are interested in my work/would like larger resolution copies of my photos, please contact me.

In other news, in connection to the previous update, I will be taking photos of the newborn baby in approximately 3 weeks time so watch this space!
