On Saturday we were up in Stafford, photographing the Wedding of Heather and Matt, at Ingestre Hall. Was a really fun day, and these guys went out of there way to make Louise and I feel at home and amongst friends. Really nice coulple with really nice friends and family.
We tried to edit these photos in time for Heather and Matt to see them before they head off on honeymoon, but as they are leaving today, I doubt we made it in time 
Well they’ll have a their images in a DVD presentation box, awaiting their arrival home.

Last Saturday we were up North again, for a wonderful wedding in the Wirral. The ceremony was held in Bromborough, and the reception was at The Grange Hotel in Thornton Hough, Neston.
We shot Laura’s brothers wedding a few months ago, Matty and Lucy, so we’ll take it as a compliment that she wanted us to shoot her wedding.
We really enjoyed the wedding, and Laura and Stuart are such a romantic couple, always laughing, kissing or holding hands.
All the best for your future together.
Love
Barry & Louise

Kate and Steve (10th July 2010)
The marriage ceremony was held at the beautiful St. Etheldreda’s Church, followed by the reception in Bleeding Heart Yard, London. Unfortunately I was not able to make it to ceremony as I was running a dance class in Birmingham in the morning, however I managed to jump on a train and join Barry after the ceremony outside the church.
The Father conducting the ceremony allowed Barry to take as many photos as he wanted which is always a good start. As I wasn’t there during the ceremony I was unable to capture Barry’s facial expression when he’s deep in concentration – which was a shame as he pulls some crackers!
After meeting the lovely Steve and Kate outside the church we all walked to the Bleeding Heart restaurant, which is tucked away, behind a secret hidden door in the corner of a cobbled courtyard, providing a private and intimate setting for the reception.
The venue is decorated in a very homely style, with framed drawings, fireplaces, mirrors and wooden panels, which although was very dark from a photographer point of view, it was a truly romantic setting.
Speeches brought friends and family into the main room, where we were struggling for space. It was impossible to push to the front crowd so I resulted in climbing onto the window ledge to try and get crowd reactions to speeches.
A sneaky peek over to see how Barry was getting on standing on a chair at the back!
Look who’s busy changing his lens in the blurry corner of the shot below – I love the women’s expression in this photo, shame Barry’s lens switching ruined it 
The speeches were great – its always good to hear about the bride and groom, and I must say there was equal amounts of sentiment and humour. I saw Barry having a little chuckle at one joke (which I won’t repeat) which got everyone smiling.
While I had stationed myself (didn’t want to lose my spot), Barry was on the move, to attempt to get a little closer to Kate and Steve. Whata mistaka to maka – blocked! Funny photo – wheres Barry?

Recently bought some Elinchrom D Lite 4′s, had enough of hiring. I really like how light these lights are so hopefully will make use of them outdoors. I also bought a white backdrop support and some arctic white paper, much better than the muslin cloth.
Here’s the first couple of shots taken with the new set up. Needs tweaking but its a start.

We recently shot a wedding in London, Bleeding Heart Yard, for the lovely Kate and Steve. These two seemed pretty relaxed and really enjoyed their day which was great.
The ceremony took place at St. Etheldreda’s Church, which is on a private road near Farringdon station. It’s a fantastic church with plenty of light. Bleeding Heart Yard, has plenty of history / urban myth, worth a google.
The guests were great also, a nice mix or Northerners and Southerners so plenty of banter no doubt.
Hope your enjoying your honeymoon, we are both very envious!
Love Barry and Louise xxx

On Sunday we were in Nottingham taking some shots of a gorgeous tiny, 2 week old baby. We had a great time, and the parents were real good fun. We’ve been taking baby photos of family members for some time, but this was a first. We’ll hopefully be doing a fair few more in the coming couple of month.
Look forward to seeing the three of you again soon.

Last week, I had the opportunity to meet and watch a BIPP rising stars at work.
Alex Newton produces stunning award winning portraits and he demonstrating his skills in an afternoon session.
Here are a couple of the shots from the day.
Do look at Alex’s web site to see some of his latest work.

On Monday I attended a strobist workshop lead my David Hobby, creator of the globally very popular blog, The Strobist. The McNally inspired blog looks at how we can use small speedlights/strobes of the camera to create awesome images.
Though this is probably inpratical to use during the fast pace of a wedding, it’s great for portrait photography, especially when you like to get out of the studio and make use of the environment around us.
Will add some Strobist inspired images soon!
