The Vernon Sisters

July 11, 2015 by admin | Comments Off

A few weeks ago I was asked to photograph The Vernon Sisters – a trio of hugely talented real life sisters who perform classic songs at events across the UK. This event was at Liverpool’s impressive Rum Warehouse, on the dockside, and included a full backing band and a troupe of dancers. Before the show we were able to squeeze in a quick portrait shoot and, despite being short on time, we ended up with some great shots before their curtain call! A selection of my favourite images from both the portrait shoot and their performance are below. The Vernon Sister’s hair and make up was by the wonderful Bethany Jane Davies and her team at The Vintage Beauty Parlour

The incredibly lovely Mr and Mrs White were married on 20th September, 2014 at St Mark’s Church, Connah’s Quay, followed by a reception at the Holiday Inn Chester West Hotel. It was such a lovely day and I had so much fun being their wedding photographer!

Here are a selection of some of my favourite shots from the wedding. If you’re a friend or relative of the happy couple you can view the full gallery of images from their wedding day here and purchase prints (but you’ll need to ask Gary or Deri for the password).

Chorlton Arts Festival 2014

May 25, 2014 by admin | Comments Off

I’ve been photographing Chorlton Arts Festival for a number of years now and it’s always a blast. This year saw a great range of music, theatre, comedy and spoken word events, plus exhibitions and workshops across the M21 postcode. My personal highlight was the Blues & Gospel Tram, which commemorated the 50th anniversary of Muddy Waters, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and others playing an incredible live show at Chorlton Train Station in 1964.

This year I had the pleasure of shooting Rachael Dadd, John Smith, Bells in the Birches and Paper Aeroplanes, as well as the wonderful Blues & Gospel Tram. Here are a small selection of my favourite shots.
