New Arrival - Surrey Baby Photographer

It's been a little while since my last post, but there's a very good reason for this, and that reason is keeping us up at night.

A little over a week ago my wife gave birth to our first child, a beautiful bouncing baby boy who we named James.

Naturally, as a photographer, James has become my new Muse and I'm snapping away with him most days. James will no doubt become a regular subject of this blog now he's arrived, and so, let's kick things off with a few from James' first week!


James, roughly an hour old.


James makes a fashion statement in his first Baby Grow.


I'm sure it's not really a smile, but we like to think so.


In his Baby gym.


The obligatory bath photo, with a strategically placed arm.

Shooting Rifles - Surrey Commercial Photographer

This was an interesting job. I was commissioned to take photos of a new BSA Air Rifle for their catalogue.
Here's a selection of photos from the shoot.


Staring down the barrel of a gun.




The Magazine I believe.


And finally the whole Rifle.

New Sample Albums

The wedding album is perhaps the most important thing you will get from your wedding day. True, you don't see it until a good amount of time after your wedding, unlike your dress let's say, but after your wedding, your dress is usually cleaned, put in a box and then left in the loft for years to come. The cake is eaten, the flowers die, and the suits are returned.

Only your album immortalises these things and allows you to look back and remember them quickly and easily.
You may well have a disk of images, but sitting round the computer and waiting for it to boot up and then flicking through the images one at a time is not quite the same as turning the pages of your thick leather album.

With that in mind, I've recently added a few more Album options to my wedding packages and I'd like to take a moment to show you what you can have if you book your wedding through me.


Even the wrapping oozes quality. Those are Pineapple leaves apparently.


A 30 side Landscape Album with an optional Accent Leather stripe and single cut-out for for an image.
You can have this style of Album with one of a wide range of cover options, from many different Leathers and silks to Metal and Timber.


The inside of this Art Album.


Here's a variation of the Album above. This one is Portrait orientation with an Acrylic Cover upgrade.


And here's the inside.


The two albums together.


For the traditionalists I now offer a matted album option, reminiscent of my parents Wedding Album but with a modern style to it. This one has a print indented onto the white leatherette cover.


Here's the inside, I deliberately made the prints shine to show the glossy print under the matt which frames it.


Here you can see that the matts are white but with a black core which you can see on the bevelled edge of the frame. These matts can be white or black with a white or black core.

All these albums are ready for viewing at my wedding meetings with new clients.
I look forward to showing them to you.
