Family gathering - Summer 2011

I recently had the opportunity to photograph a family gathering here in Somerset - members travelled from Devon, Berkshire and all the way over from Australia too.

The venue was a house that had been rented for the weekend - out in the large garden was an old railway truck too which made a great prop for the youngsters.

The late afternoon lighting really helped make the occasion too.

If you are planning a family get together, a special occasion perhaps for a birthday or wedding anniversary then please do get in touch.

School Prospectus Brochure

I was recently asked to shoot images to help a local school prepare a new school prospectus. A half day session was booked and the client had provided a shooting plan in advance.

The school asked a dozen or so pupils to help with the photo shoot. The images will help show the diversity of lessons and subjects that pupils can study.

Funeral Photography

When families gather together to attend the funeral service of a loved one the idea of having a photographer present may not be uppermost in their minds.

Funerals are of course an event that generates raw emotions and many would not wish to engage a photographer to record the event.

But for some it ranks as a major family event often with relatives and friends travelling from far afield to attend, grieve, remember and recall. In some case relatives have not seen each other for decades. In that sense it is not unlike a wedding - it brings loved ones together.

Discrete reportage style photography can provide a record of the day - the tears among the mourners - the tears of joy at the wake as family and friends recall past moments - informal images and portaits of guests like the example below taken at a wedding reception.

Sometimes wakes can be very social as relatives meet up and relax sharing moments of tenderness and love.  

I haven't yet covered any family funerals as a photographer - but I am prepared to offer my services.

I've posted below a link to some of my images taken at the public funeral service of the late great Harry Patch - these images were shot for news editorial agencies.  As an editorial photographer at the event my job involved being discrete and respectful, ideally to be almost unnoticed.

The required pass-word for these images is

Wedding - Middlezoy Somerset September 2010

September is a busy time for weddings - last chance to enjoy the tail end of Summer. Last weekend I photographed a wedding in the lovely location of Middlezoy, out on the Somerset Levels.

I'd like to thank Rachel and James for the opportunity to be their wedding photographer - best wishes to you both and have a wonderful life together.

I prefer to shot outdoor images taken out and about in a walking environment the pet or dog is used to - get them happy and relaxed.



Book me for a pet portrait session and a chance to view the images before deciding on which image photo prints you require.



Images can be printed as traditional photo prints or perhaps consider printing onto canvas or acrylic for a more contemporary look.
