The Blue Piano Bridal Shoot

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

To make V-Day even more special, here’s a little shoot I’ve been working on. Another beautiful bridal shoot that gave 2012 the kickstart it needed!

The Blue Piano in Edgbaston is a beautiful restaurant. When I learned it would open as a wedding venue I teamed up with some of the wedding world’s coolest movers and shakers to come up with the inspiration for this bridal shoot, featuring the gorgeous Robyn.

Wearing two lush gowns from The Wedding Club, Robyn was a joy to photograph. The first gown – sleek and contemporary by the inimitable Jenny Packham. The second – cool, fun and sophisticated, by style-genius Matthew Williamson.

Sandy Bahia was in charge of hair and make-up and Invitation Only styled the shoot. Check out the pretty-as-a-picture aisle that they built especially for us !

The Blue Piano not only has the most amazing food but it’s very many rooms give couples looking for a romantic, intimate and super-stylish venue everything they could ever ask for.

I’ll happily come and take their photos !

Again, the ever astute Alexis, at OMG I”m Getting Married, has featured these photos on her blog so click over to take a look and if you want to check out The Blue Piano, there’s a great Boutique Bridal Fayre happening there on March 25th.

Come by and say hello.

Baby Aaron Jones – Newborn session

While I wait for Wedding Season to begin, there’s nothing better than filling my days with photos of beautiful babies and this one, little Aaron Jones, was no exception.

It helps that he’s my cousin’s little boy so I am slightly biased but, come on, look at his gorgeous chubby cheeks and tiny little toes. Completely irresistible!

Baby Thea Ralston – Newborn Session

Beautiful baby Thea was born on October 30th 2011 and within two weeks, I was setting up a mini studio in her front room and snapping away for her very first photo-shoot.

I’m sure there’ll be many more shoots to come as little Thea is one of the cutest babies I’ve ever photographed.

For now, here are a few piccies from her newborn session…

Published in OUT Magazine – Mike and Dan.

Look what came in the post this morning!

The latest copy of OUT magazine with none other than Dan and Mike featuring on their brand spanking new “VOWS” page.

With the sub-heading of “The One Hundred Most Compelling People of 2011″, I have to agree, it’s a fitting issue to be included in.

The compliments for this wedding just keep on coming !

Timewarp Tuesdays – Heath Ledger

It was four years ago this week that poor Heath Ledger died.

He was an almighty talent and utterly gorgeous.

He posed for me at a photo shoot in New York’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel and it’s a memory that I’ll cherish forever.

He looked tired and he was very quiet but his girlfriend at the time, Michelle Williams, had just given birth to their beautiful daughter, Matilda, and he was blissfully happy to have become a dad.

I congratulated him on their new addition and he drew a deep breath, smiled the most beautiful smile and said, “It’s amazing. I love them both so much.”

To hear such heartfelt emotion from someone that guarded his privacy so fiercely really touched me.

RIP Heath.
