Lion Quays resort wedding photographer- Emily and Marks wedding

Monday, November 28, 2011 Posted in weddings

I had the great pleasure of photographing Emily and Marks wedding yesterday at the Lion Quays waterside resort near Oswestry.

I think this was the first time for ages that I have photographed a Sunday wedding and the first time I have been to the Lion Quays.

It`s a pretty cool venue, right on the canal, with jettys for the narrow boats and everything:)

The weather, for the end of November was awesome. Bright, clear and a very slight breeze. Perfect!

Emily looked totally beautiful in her amazing dress and Mark was an extremely handsome groom.

Here are a few images from Emily and Marks wedding at the Lion Quays, I hope you like them.

If you do, please feel free to leave a comment at the end of this post.

Enjoy x.

North Wales photographer- Conwy half marathon 2011

Wednesday, November 23, 2011 Posted in commercial, sports

Sunday saw me on Conwy quayside again photographing the Conwy half marathon for Run Wales and what a lovely day it was. It was at least ten degrees warmer than it was for last years race. Great for me and the spectators, not as great for the runners.

A fantastic showing this year, with over 1400 runners doing the 13 mile course from Conwy to Llandudno, round the Great Orme and back to Conwy.

Here are just a few of the images I took at the Conwy half marathon 2011. Hope you like them.

North Wales portrait photographer- Scooter Boy

Sunday, November 13, 2011 Posted in portraits

My son, Matthew is a complete scooter, skateboard and BMX fanatic. He lives on his scooter pretty much 24/7 when he`s not in school.

He actually wanted to take his scooter to bed the first day he got it!

I`ve been wanting to get some images of him with his scooter for a while now and finally did today.

Here are the results:)

Soughton Hall wedding photographer- Julie and Richards wedding

Monday, October 31, 2011 Posted in weddings

Julie and Richard travelled over from Doncaster for their wedding at Soughton Hall this weekend. They are a super lovely couple and were a joy to photograph.

Soughton Hall is an amazing venue for a wedding, full of character and cool features.

It seems that it is pre destined to rain every Saturday this year at some point in the day, and this Saturday was no different. Well, it rained pretty much all day.

We had a good time though. The wedding party were really friendly, helpful and good fun.

Julie`s sister even belted out a few songs in the evening which was a great start to the evening for the guests.

Here are a few images from Julie and Richards wedding at Soughton Hall. I hope you like them.

If you do, feel free to leave a comment at the end of this post. Enjoy. x.

Tricia and John Davies - We are the mother and step father of the groom fabulous photographs and a fabulous couple, the venue was brilliant and everybody has commented on what a fantastic day it was, can’t wait to see the rest of the photos especially the ones of Richard and Julie with Richards two brothers

Tony Fanning - Hehe, thank you Bill. There are plenty of images of you too to come later :)

November 6, 2011 - 12:17 pm

Bill Alexander - Brilliant! You guys were superb on the day, capturing fantastic memories without being intrusive or spending hours taking photo after photo.

Thanks for a great job. If I could add a small observation, perhaps you could have taken a few more of the bride’s father, who was incredibly handsome I thought.

Cheers!

Bill (father of the bride)
