A Guest Post For Rock N Roll Bride
Many of you will be aware of Rock N Roll Bride.
It’s one of the biggest and best wedding blogs on the planet, so I was really pleased when its creator, Kat, asked me to write a guest post for her.
I chose to talk about how my passions for photography and music have helped to develop my style and find my place in the wedding photography market.

Music Photography Workshop – Jadey Leigh
Yesterday we held a music photography workshop at our Birmingham studio.
We had a great bunch of people attending and it was a full on day but definitely great fun.
In the afternoon we headed outside to do a few band portraits. Here are a few of my faves.
Thanks to the band for standing in at last minute.
** Our next workshop is for wedding photographers on May 30th **

X Factor Live @ Birmingham LG Arena
I’ll probably get grief about this one!
It doesn’t get much cheesier than an X Factor Live gig, and I did feel like I was in the world’s biggest karaoke bar, but from a photography point of view this was a fun gig to shoot. I’m no musical snob and I enjoy shooting most gigs, so I was happy to cover this one for Birmingham Live!
Even my mom knows who most of these people are!
I’ll be cleansing my soul tonight by shooting Korn

BRMB Becomes Free Radio – Presenters Portraits
Anybody who lives in the West Midlands will be aware of BRMB radio station.
It’s easily the most well known commercial station in the area.
As of this month BRMB will be rebranded and renamed as Free Radio, so it was about time all the presenters had new profile photos done ready for the big relaunch. I was pretty chuffed to be asked to do the job for them, even though studio photography isn’t something I often do. I was totally up for the challenge though and the two days of shooting went really well. Everyone who came in was great and it was fun chatting to the presenters about the celebs they’d met. I found out just who was a diva, who had no personality whatsoever and who was a top bloke.
It was hard work but I’m really pleased with the results. I also did photos for their sister stations, Beacon, Mercia & Wyvern.
Thanks to Alycia & Andy for helping organise the shoot.

Steph & The Tattooed Wedding Dress
I’ve done a few photoshoots now in collaboration with my friend Jo who runs The Couture Company here at The Custard Factory.
Jo lets us use her amazing wedding dresses for our workshops.
But when she mentioned she wanted me to photograph her new tattooed wedding dress I knew it’d be something truly unique.
We did a few dresses during this shoot but the tattoo dress got lots of attention, including a feature on the uber-cool Rock n Roll Bride blog.
My good pal Steph modelled for the shoot. I shot her wedding in New York.
