On Oct 14th 2017 I had the pleasure and honor of photographing the wedding of Lee & Jane Charnock and what a day it was.
We started off at St Luke with All Saints Church for the ceremony where family and friends joined Lee & Jane to share their special day. St Lukes is a large grand church that is also Grade 2 listed.
In July this year I had the pleasure of being part of and photographing the wedding of Barry & Donna at the Bestwood Lodge Hotel and what a weekend it was.
When Barry & Donna contacted me about wedding photography I said yes quicker than any bride or groom has ever done, the reason is I have known Barry for a good few years and it always an honor to provide photography for a friend especially at such a milestone event in their families lives.
I decided to head over the day before to avoid an early start on the day and mitigate any risk of hitting traffic, it was also handy staying at the one venue for the whole day. I arrived in the afternoon the day before the wedding and met Donna, Family and friends in the hotel bar before we had a late lunch. It was great to meet everyone the day before, introduce myself and get to know the family.
Within a few minutes I could tell that it was going to be a great weekend spent with some great people. I even got to play Bull Dog with the children during the evening. Apparently, they are much better at it than I am.
This is James, all round nice guy and teacher of the Alexander Technique. If you are like me and have never heard of the Alexander Technique it is a process of improving your posture and self-awareness that is used to combat stress, anxiety and a wide number of physical ailments that can plague us in modern fast paced life.
Hell, even I was more aware of my posture when James was around and mine is normally terrible.
James works locally in Stockport, Wilmslow and Manchester so it was great to provide photography services for a local individual and brand. During our conversations leading up to the session we established the final use (Editorial, Web) for the images and a style the James was looking for to move his brand forward in this digital age, a date was set and we got to work.

Head shots can be required for many reasons in today’s world.
Job applications.
Digital CV.
Social Media Profiles.
Worker ID Cards.
Staff Profiles.
And for applications for model agencies which is what this head shot session was about.
Chris called me and booked in a session after a brief talk over the phone. The brief was to provide head shots for applications to a model agency.
These can be very similar to casting head shots as is they just need to show your like ness and that’s it. Nothing fancy required as they have to show the real you un retouched.
We started the session by getting those shots done. One straight on shot and a few side profile shots, I am not showing those images here (NDA) but they fit the brief and agency requirements. What I can show are some additional head shots taken and a bonus portrait they we had time to produce.
