Lucy & James wedding just outside Stafford was stunning. Location, church, venue and the couple themselves. It was a full days wedding photography and was a joy to be part of the day. I will never forget the best mans speech, even I had a tear in my eye by the end of it. I think the images taken that day speak for themselves.

Lucy & James love the outdoors. For their wedding engagement session we stopped off at Wickstead Farm and then moved to Coleshill estate. It was a glorious evening and the sun shone brightly for us.

These are two of Lucy’s event horses and a lovely portrait shot of them all.

I love this image. The black object you can see is Moby the dog bounding through the field.

Liz & Chris were married in Sevenhampton Church, Wiltshire. The day was lovely and Liz & Chris had a permanent grin on their faces all day! I had such a great time photographing the days events. I hope you enjoy the few pictures below.

The favours tasted as good as they looked!

A simple ring shot, but I like it.

Clemency & Tim had the perfect wedding. In fact, if I was to renew my vows this is how I would do it. Radford is a tiny little village in Oxfordshire and the church is beautiful and quaint. The vicar was also a star because he let me take photos throughout the ceremony & vows - something that is very rare now.

Jamie & Sam come to Roves Farm lots. They are full of energy, laughter & are typical brothers! Photographing them was such fun and a pleasure. And I think from the images below you can see that too.

James and Lucy mum got in touch with me to organise a Portrait Session in winter. It was for a Valentine present for her husband. I love winter in England as we get a completely different type of light. Lucy was quite nervous but you couldn’t tell in the image below. The wind blew and lifted her hair and created a wonderful capture.

James was a complete monkey and reminded me of my little boy of the same age.

This was such a happy Openspace Portrait session. The Seward’s were in the process of moving abroad and Mum wanted a present for Dad. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. The star of the show is the person you cannot see though, it’s the girl Aunt. She made them both giggle and laugh pretty much throughout the 1hr session. You always get out what you put in…

This was the first attempt at using my new Lens Baby. The stars are part of the lens and not added afterwards in any program. A fantastic capture of a natural smile. An image I still use now for promotion.

Three cousins taken at Roves Farm during the school summer holidays. They were brilliant and as you can see we all had so much fun. Lot’s of running around and jumping onto each other!

Every portrait session with Openspace Photography has a special moment, this is one of them. I was photographing the two sisters by themselves and their cousin decided he wanted some of the limelight, so jumped on them. The resulting picture is a natural image full of smiles.

The Brailsford’s chose an Openspace Portrait in Winter… They braved the cold and we got some fantastic images for their wall.

Who says it can’t be fun in Winter!

She is so cute, lovely big eyes and the perfect natural light.

What do you get your mum for her 80th Birthday? Three sisters chose a family outdoor portrait session with Openspace Photography - 12 people in all! I like to use the Tythe Barn in Great Coxwell for some of my portrait sessions. It gives us enough cover if it looks like it’s going to rain and looks stunning when the sun is out!

You can tell the two guys on the end are rugby players!

My portrait sessions are all about fun and this family loved their sport, so they played a game of cricket and we got some great natural portrait shots.

Openspace Portraits are fun!

Something a bit more formal but in keeping with my natural relaxed style.

Thanks to everyone for a great morning.
