The Hotel Du Vin in York is the perfect venue for girls to have a fun weekend. karen and her friends stayed at the hotel and along with learning how to make cocktails and eating in the great brasserie they spent a morning with me for Photography and Julie Mercer doing hair and beauty treatments to record the event with a portrait session. A fun time was had by all.

Had a great fun morning in Castleton and Whitby with Jemma and Ryan. We went to Danby Castle and a walk on the pier and beach in Whitby. Jemma and Ryan are getting married at St Michael’s Church in Castleton and then a reception back at home in a marquee with fantastic views of the North Yorkshire Moors.

Leila and Graham pre-wedding shoot

We had a walk around York trying to get the images that we wanted before the rain came, which we just managed !
Leila and Graham are tying the knot in early June and if we have half the fun that we had doing this shoot it still will be great.

Andy and Gwen in Dalby Forest

Had a great time in Dalby Forest in the quarry at the top of Housedale with Andy and Gwen in a Land Rover Defender. We managed to get some off road sections and a great water splash so the Defender will need a good clean.Andy and Gwen are getting married later this year in Harrogate.

Hannah and Kevin at Fountains Abbey

Fountains Abbey is one of my favourite places to shoot a selection of pre wedding images so I was pleased when Hannah and Kevin selected it as the venue for their pre wedding shoot. It was misty at first but the sun did burn through later in the morning and again the light was perfect for some great images.

David Stephenson Artist Blacksmith

David makes a range of sculptural and functional items at Lockton in the North York Moors National Park. He works using traditional hand forging techniques, often applying these to contemporary designs, producing work which is beautiful to handle and which reflects its origins in fire. All pieces are intended to outlive their maker and those for whom they are made. I enjoyed recording David at work and cataloging some of his stunning work, however the spark shot has cost me a pair of trousers !!
Small payment for a great image and we do have to suffer for our art !

One Ethical Boutique in York

One Responsibly Gorgeous is York’s only ethical fashion boutique. Boutique owner, Anne McCrickard opened One in 2006 to ensure that stylish clothing from ethical sources were made available on the high street.

One Responsibly Gorgeous ensures that you can choose fashion that is made using organic, recycled, vintage and eco fibres together with fair trade manufacture. One Responsibly Gorgeous recognises that every item of clothing we wear tells a story of production, trade and manufacture often at the expense of the planet and people.

I did a shoot around York to get images of the new Spring collection helped by two very patient and “cold” models Barbora and Fiona whilst Janet from One Boutique provided help with the lighting and essential things like coffee !!
