Yesterday I photographed these super cool dudes in the studio!  The shoot was dictated by nearly-2-year-old Zack (goes without saying really), but luckily, he allowed me to get lots of variation.  We shot brother photos, a few individuals, some with Dad and even the odd family shot.  Thanks Zack!

With almost 1000 sessions shot since 2007, I'm having a BIG clear out of my archive to celebrate my 10th birthday.

This means that I'm letting go of ALL files shot in my old style (reference number P0772) for super cheap!

They will be the full session files, in full resolution, for you to do what you want with... That's a real bargain!

A little story about the images in this poster: The little girl was only the 2nd baby to see me in my brand new studio back in 2007.  She must be 11 now!  WOW.  I hope she's just as high energy as she was back then...

Quite remarkably, my Cambridge photography business will be 10 years old at the end of the month!  10!  That's a whole decade!

A big thanks to the family and wedding customers I've photographed over the years, and more recently, to my commercial/PR clients under StillVision (my official photography company name). You've all added up to a roller-coaster decade of photography!

To celebrate this mile-stone, I will be running a few offers, so stay tuned for those!

Congratulations to Darren & Corrina who were married on Saturday 12th August 2017.  I've never seen so much emotion and happiness on a wedding day!  They were married twice (!), first and officially at an intimate ceremony at Peterborough registry office followed be a ceremony at home.  After ceremony number one, I followed the bride to where she got ready for her REAL wedding, in the garden of her home.  The garden had been transformed by a giant marquee.  Trees had been cropped to fit inside, everything was decorated, and with a beautiful position by the river, it made for a lovely personal wedding venue.  From the second ceremony on, the party really started and I had hours of fun shooting very informally as people got, how should I say, fairly merry...  Just before leaving, there was a bit of a 999 lifesaver incident involving the river, two guys and something sharp.  I've pixelated the gruesome stuff, but the way I saw it, a wedding isn't a wedding unless someone ends up in A&E, right?!  My Peterborough wedding photography highlights follow:

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing a family of two teenagers, one of whom is soon to be 18.  The 'birthday' session was a comprehensive one as well as being fun and really relaxed.  I shot individual portraits, brother and sister together, mum and dad, as well a number of family variations.  It was all covered!

This afternoon I met this cheeky 9 month old along with Mummy and Daddy.  On arrival, he casually crawled up to me and used my leg as a standing post.  No introduction necessary!  His session continued in the friendly way it began, and I got plenty of action shots, smiles and a whole host of other expressions!  If he keeps this level of personality up, Cambridge has itself a new superstar!

This morning I saw 16 month old Leo for the third time since he was a little baby.  He came to the studio with his big brother, Mummy and Daddy.  Despite not being that interested in joining them, I grabbed a few brother shots (tearing around the place obviously) and some family ones!  His baby photography highlights follow:

This morning I saw 8-month-old Miller who I've met before.  I've also met his older brother and sister before and photographed Mum and Dad's wedding nearly 5 years ago!  It's lovely to see familiar faces and all the lovelier when they are super-smiling ones... His studio session highlights follow:

Although I'm shooting far fewer weddings this year, the ones I am shooting are super special ones!  On the weekend before the June heat-wave kicked in, Tristan & Anna were married at The Asylum Chapel in Peckham.  It was without doubt the trendiest wedding ceremony venue I've ever seen!  I could have shot in there for hours.  Venue two, (via a short ride in vintage route-masters), was in Brixton and another super-trendy place.  I shot their wedding in a more informal style at the request of the bride and groom and results are great!  My London wedding photography highlights follow:

This morning I met nearly-6-month-old Oliver in the studio.  He came with his big sister who I photographed a couple of years ago, but she wasn't part of today's shoot, maybe next time!  I actually photographed Mum and Dad's wedding in Hungary back in 2012, so it was nice to see the family growing up.  Here are my favorite shots from his baby photography session with me:

At the weekend I met this just-turned-one-year-old and her Mummy and Daddy.  She came with a warning that she hadn't slept and had a bit of a cold, but she showed very little signs of either (until the very end of her studio shoot)!  She threw some great expressions my way and here are some of my favourites:

I'm sticking to new principles regarding my wedding photography this season and only doing them when I come recommended or have a connection to the bride and groom.  It's not a business decision, but a personal one!  I want to reduce the number I book and enjoy every single one I shoot.  And boy did I enjoy this one!  The sun was shining (a little too much perhaps for such an outside venue), everyone was happy, lots got drunk, even more got eaten and I left the wedding party dancing the night away to one of the friendliest DJ's I've ever met!  Richard and Yasemin's wedding photography highlights are below:

Who's been enjoying the early summer sun recently?  I certainly have and I've been out shooting in it too!  Although super busy with commercial work at StillVision Photography, I'm still shooting weddings and location family photography sessions such as this one...

I first met this gang at a family wedding 6 years ago and since, the bride and groom have added two new children to the mix!  This time the occasion was a big birthday for Grandma and it was certainly a hot and sweaty one!  Luckily it was also full of smiles...

I shot on location in a family garden on a sunny afternoon using a blend of natural light and one studio strobe.

Last year, my commercial business work split from my family, baby and wedding photography.

Today I've finished building a brand new website for StillVision Photography!  It took some time and there was quite a steep Word Press learning curve, but I think I'm there.  I'd be interested to hear what you think of it.  Please take a look at www.stillvision.co.uk.  And of course, if you need professional business images, please think of StillVision Photography.  I'd be delighted to quote for you.

For a few weeks in February, I toured southern Malawi with Cambridge charity, Aquaid Lifeline Fund.  While living in the rural areas, I shot this promotional film for the charity along with an accompanying series of portrait photographs.  They form a body of work I'm incredibly proud of!  Please take a moment to learn about the incredible things being achieved in what is one of the poorest countries on earth.

Here's a sneak preview from a studio session in the week, and it marks Mother's Day here in the UK.  I hope everyone's having a lovely day and their babies/children are as smiley as this little one was!

Last week I met this smiling monster in the studio! He's the third sibling in a family I've photographed many times and by far the most smiley (although he smiled himself out in about 20 minutes). I'm already looking forward to photographing everybody together in a few month's time...

This morning I met this cheeky chappy!  I've met him on two other occasions as he's been a part of my 'baby-grow club'.  One-year-old Joseph is now up on his feet and moving around fairly confidently (although he's a much faster crawler still and still the preferred method of travel).  He's also a surprisingly calm personality.  And that's very refreshing as a toddler!

Last week I met this gang for a multi-generational post-Christmas portrait session.  There was nervous laughter, awkward smiling, and just a bit of genuine fun.  It had it all!

Yesterday I saw this pair in the portrait studio.  I've met them both a number of times before and although the session was mainly about baby Percy, his big brother got involved too!  I just about manged a shot of the two of them together but think 2 year old and baby; one goes one direction, one the other, one smiles, one looks the other way, one cries, that sort of thing!  Here are a few studio highlights none the less:
