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!

M83 @ HMV Institute, Birmingham
Last night, Evelyne & I were out and about on the town in Birmingham.
A meal with friends at The Mailbox. A few drinks in The Victoria. And in between we popped into the HMV Institute to see the brilliant M83 play to a packed house.
There was only one photographer shooting the gig…. Me.

Bon Iver – Live in Birmingham
After delivering one of my fave albums of 2011 I was pretty chuffed to get to photograph Justin and the boys in Manchester and Birmingham recently.
The lighting made it tricky to shoot but the music sounded magnificent.
Here are my faves from the Birmingham show…

Kathleen Edwards – Birmingham O2 Academy
I haven’t exactly made a secret of the fact that I’m a huge fan of Kathleen Edwards.
She recently supported the amazing Bon Iver and I was lucky enough to catch her in Manchester and Birmingham.
These photos are from the Birmingham gig. Bon Iver pics to follow shortly…
My two favourite Canadian girls… together at last!

Rise Against & Friends – Live In Birmingham
A few weeks ago I shot one of my favourite bands, Rise Against, when they played Birmingham’s O2 Academy.
They brought two superb support acts with them too… Polar Bear Club and Mr Tom Morello aka The Nightwatchman aka “that guy from Rage Against The Machine”.
All bands were on top form but Rise Against were just phenomenal!
Here are a few photos from the evening…

Machine Head + Bring Me The Horizon @ Birmingham NIA
Last night I was down at Birmingham’s National Indoor Arena to photograph the mighty Machine Head.
You can see my review of the gig over on the Birmingham Live site.
Support came from Bring Me The Horizon…

Lana Del Rey – Live in Birmingham
If you’ve yet to hear of Lana Del Rey, don’t worry… You will!
Her song, Video Games, has been all over the radio and her gig at Birmingham’s HMV Institute was completely sold out despite the fact she has yet to release an album.
2012 looks set to be her year.
Check out the video for Video Games below…
After the gig, we bumped into Lana outside the venue. Evelyne may have hugged her just a little too long

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Birmingham LG Arena
It’s over twenty years since my first Chili Peppers gig.
Evelyne’s first Chili Peppers gig was last weekend at the LG Arena in Birmingham.
