What a scorcher of a day for Becky & Mark’s recent wedding at Shearsby Bath Leicestershire. I had visited Shearsby Bath earlier in the year to take some pre wedding shots of the couple, but it was very much still winter and freezing cold. It was really lovely to see the venue again in the summer, in full bloom and looking fantastic. Preparations began at the Ullesthorpe Hotel with Becky and her bridesmaids, followed by a beautiful and emotive ceremony at Shearsby Bath. Mark was definitely one of the most nervous grooms I have ever encountered – however his two best men were definitely there to support him all the way.
My biggest challenge of the day? A little pageboy who was adamant he would not be photographed. Needless to say, I wouldn’t be beaten and he appears in the final set of images quite a lot (although mostly shots taken with my zoom lens…). Kids hey?
A few images of this amazing wedding day below. 










The fantastic Goddard building (or Atkins site as it is more affectionately known) is soon to be the new home for Lesley Bee at Artography. Situated in the centre of Hinckley on Lower Bond Street, the fantastic Grade 2 listed Goddard Building will become a central hub for ‘Creative Hinckley’ (check out the website for more information). Alongside work spaces, there is a contemporary exhibition / gallery space and a cafe bar. Tall windows allow light to flood into the spaces and it has been sympathetically restored to embrace the original features along with a contemporary edge. This site will also incorporate the new college building which is being constructed on the land to the rear of the site. Check out some photographs below.
I am very excited to be moving into such a beautiful building and also to work alongside other creative people. I am sure that it will be great fun…

I had great fun taking some shots of a local band ‘The Speech’ this week. Formally known as Cascade they are back together after 20 years. Covers include: The Beatles, Kaiser Chiefs, U2, Stereophonics, Kings of Leon etc You can check out their facebook page here.
The guys were laid back and very professional in front of the camera and I did my best to make the shoot relaxed and informal. The band consists of Chad Reynold (lead vocal), Ash Woodward (guitar and backing vocals), Andy Stinton (Bass and backing vocals) and Kev Lennon (drums). Record label: We Wish Records. Their next gig is at the Railway in Countesthorpe on Friday June 11th.
If you are a local band and would like some shots taken for your marketing and promotional material give me a call on 01455 233224. All images are provided on a CD with full usage rights so that you are free to use them in all aspects of your marketing. Location shoots are ideal. I can also attend any local gig in and around Leicestershire to capture images of your band during a performance.
