Emma & Scott pre-wedding test shoot...

Only one more day to go before I shoot Emma and Scott's wedding this Saturday at the amazing venue of the Haymarket Hotel in London, you can check out the hotel here.  Last Saturday we decided to get together and do a couple of test shots and run through ideas and poses to help them feel more comfortable with the camera being in their faces ...lol...

It was great laugh apart from me getting really hot even though I was only in shorts god knows what state I'm gonna be on Saturday when I wearing my dinner suit during this awesome British summertime we are experiencing haha....

The test shots came out amazingly well so I have decided to post a selection on here, I wSave & Closeill be following this post up with their Wedding imagery and slideshow so stay tuned......

Photo shoot for Holly's 21st Birthday.....

Back in January I had the pleasure in capturing a few shots of Holly for her 21st birthday, it only seems like yesterday when I was 21 where the hell have these years gone lol....

I wanted to capture images that could tell a little story from having her hair and make up done to detail shots of her dress and accessories we then finished by having a 10 minute shoot in the courtyard of the hotel before they all headed out for their night on the town....

I've been meaning to post these images for a while now, I hope you enjoy them.

Portfolio shoot in London with the awesome Dila....

I recently had the pleasure shooting with Dila, we decided to shoot around Victoria/ St James' in the City of Westminster, I had scouted some locations a while back and it was great to finally have the opportunity to use them.  I wanted to do something different for this shoot, I want people to be surprised by the locations and to see how your everyday places can look so cool, I believe that these images are different to anything I've ever seen shot around this area before. I am so pleased to have these in my portfolio.

Dila was wicked to shoot with, she has a great look and a personality to match, she was really relaxed and loved the ideas I had come up with, without her help these wouldn't have been possible to achieve.  We managed to fit loads of outfit changes and locations in such a short space of time, the diversity will really benefit our portfolios.  I really hope that we get to work together again and that she is really successful in what she wants to achieve.

I hope you love this selection of shots from the shoot, I will be adding them to my website soon so check it out when you can.
