My Favourite Photos of 2011 – Part 1
Twenty Eleven. A very good year.
I’m so grateful that I get to do something I’m passionate about as a career and last year was our best year yet. So many amazing moments!
It’s all about the people we meet along the way though and I can’t thank those people enough.
My wife, Evelyne…. There’s no way to sum up how much I love her and how important she is to me. She’s the best!
My boys, Elliott, Isaac & Jonas. They’ve taken over our lives and make us laugh out loud every day. I couldn’t love them more.
Our clients. I can’t believe what amazing clients we continue to book. They’re all so welcoming and we never take for granted the privilege of being allowed into their lives and to witness their most important moments. We have made a lot of great new friends this year.
Add to that the wedding bloggers, magazines, bands, workshop attendees, companies that help us out with shoots, other photographers…. the list goes on.
Thank you. Here’s to an amazing 2012.
So, here are some of my favourite images from 2011. It’s a varied collection. I had too many for one post though so here is Part 1…. Part 2 will follow tomorrow… Enjoy!

Stacie & Chris
This Christmas Eve is all set to be one to remember…
Stacie & Chris will be getting married in front of just 12 guests and 2 photographers. What better way to start the Christmas festivities!!?
This weekend I was up in their home town of Barnsley for their engagement shoot, but not before they’d laid out an immense buffet to make sure I didn’t get hungry along the way.

Sarah & David
So looking forward to shooting Sarah & David’s wedding at Hogarths this weekend!!
I’ve loved having a few weeks off from weddings but I’ve kinda missed the buzz of it all.

Sophie & Chris – A Family Engagement Shoot
Sophie & Chris get married in Coventry next month before heading over to New Hall for their reception.
I hope the weather is as great as it was for their engagement session!
They brought along their gorgeous little girl for the first half of the shoot at Kenilworth Castle. We then headed into Birmingham for something a bit different…

Becky & Gary – A Stratford Engagement Session
Becky & Gary’s wedding takes place at the amazing Hampton Manor next month.
It’ll be our last wedding of 2011. I have a feeling it may also be one of the best…

Becky & Paul – Leamington Spa E-Shoot
True story… Becky & Paul met at a club in Birmingham called Ramshackle.
The club I started back in 1997!
I love happy endings
We met on Monday in Leamington Spa for their engagement shoot ahead of their wedding next February. Shot, edited and blogged within 24 hours! I won’t make a habit of it, I promise…

Karen & Scot – An Edinburgh Engagement
It’s unusual for us to meet a couple for the first time the day before their wedding.
It’s even more unusual for us shoot an engagement session less than 24 hours before they get married.
Karen & Scot met me in the very same pub that Evelyne worked years before I married her, and we headed out into the rainy streets of Edinburgh to create some photos ahead of their wedding at Orocco Pier.
My good pal, Lee Allen, was along to carry the umbrellas!

Denmark & Colin – A Warwick Engagement Session
Ok.. This could be one of my favourite shoots yet!
Denmark & Colin are planning a wedding in Shanghai next year. I’d love to shoot a wedding in China but at least I get to do their pre-wedding photos.
We decided on Warwick as the perfect location and spent a great day exploring the town and getting a good variety of portraits. Later in the day we visited the epic location of Warwick Castle where we were lucky enough to have the whole castle to ourselves after the general public had left. Amazing!
Big thanks to Katie and David at Warwick Castle for being so accommodating.
We began the shoot in more humble surroundings…
