Planning a Suffolk wedding?

A new website has been set up purely for wedding suppliers within the county of Suffolk. Brought to you by the people behind the Suffolk Tourist Guide, I think this will be a great resource for couples planning their wedding in this wonderful county. I have a considerable number of wedding photography enquiries from people who live outside Suffolk, but who are getting married here and I think this will be very helpful to them.

I am listed in the directory – under wedding photographers, of course.
Why not take a look and see if any of the wonderful local suppliers can help you make your wedding day extra fabulous?

Teenage Portrait Photography | Ipswich | Suffolk

On Sunday I did a lovely photoshoot for my daughter’s friend. As a change from my regular studio work I decided to go low key, with a black background and dark clothes.

80th Birthday Party in Suffolk

Last weekend I was invited to take some photos at a family party to celebrate the 80th Birthday of Pip, a bit of a character by the looks of things.

Mother’s Day Portrait Photography Suffolk

Calling all  Dads! Mothering Sunday this year is on March 14th so now is the time to be thinking about a fabulous present for a special mum. Rather than the usual flowers or chocolates, why not arrange a lifestyle portrait photography session of your children and let them present their mum with a framed print, canvas or album with her breakfast in bed? If this is her first Mother’s Day, a baby portrait sitting in your own home would make a gift she will love forever.

Email or call me now to book your sitting.

Winter Wedding Photography | Hannah and Adam | Hintlesham Hall

I had been looking forward to Hannah and Adam’s wedding for a long time! As I had previously requested, the day before the wedding saw a decent snowfall but Saturday morning dawned bright and cold.

Hintlesham Hall looked fantastic.

I was a little beside myself when I got my hands on my first pair of Jimmy Choos.

I eventually gave in and let Hannah put them on

I left the girls for a few minutes to find the boys who were toasting themselves (in both senses of the word) by the fire.

So I ushered (!) them outside to make the most of the glorious landscape

By the end of the ceremony the light was fading quickly but there was a lovely sunset, so we braved the conditions and went outside for a few shots

We went back inside for the receiving line, then dinner

Of course after dinner come the speeches, and I have to say I love listening to these. People put a lot of effort into them nowadays and they aren’t merely a list of thank yous. I have heard some very good best men’s speeches in my time, but this was an absolute corker…..

I love to keep an eye on the children at weddings. As they day wears on they can start to get a little tired and, dare I say it, bored, which can make for some great photos.

Once the dining room had been cleared for the evening, the wedding singer set up and Hannah and Adam took their first dance.

Whereupon I departed into the deep and crisp and even
