The One Show

In 2010 i had the pleasure of photographing Joel & Zoe’s Wedding at Sandhole Oak barn in Cheshire, it was a stunning day and also a very memorable one too. Joel’s Mum is Sue Johnston OBE and a very well known actress, playing a massive role in Brookside for many years and also the Royle family and waking the dead to name a few. Growing up watching Sue Johnston on the TV from a young age especially in the Royle family, which we religiously watched each week ourselves as a family meant that this was going to be a great wedding to photograph and a very rare, probably once in a lifetime opportunity to meet somebody face to face that you only usually see on the TV. It was so important though to me to make sure that i was professional throughout the day and that Zoe and Joel were always my main focus, the wedding ran like clockwork and everyone had an amazing time. Since the wedding Sue Johnston has brought out her autobiography ‘things i couldn’t tell my mother’ which is a great read and also features one of the wedding images of Zoe, Joel and herself from the wedding day, this image has now featured in Woman Magazine, Readers digest, Sunday Times and a few more. And apparently i have been informed that the image will be screened on the One Show on the BBC this evening, when Sue Johnston is a guest on the show! It really puts in to perspective how precious one image can be to somebody, a moment captured of a family together on one of the best days of there lives. The image is below along with a few from the day!

The Evans Family

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Andrew,Janet, Katie and JJ. This was the second shoot as we had photographed Katie before JJ arrived. The afternoon went so quickly, it was difficult to stop photographing as they are such beautiful children. The images reflect what was such a memorable afternoon,it was nice as Katie and JJ’s cousins arrived later on towards the end of the shoot. As a photographer i think there are certain shoots which stay close to your heart. The expressions and moments of certain images that are taken are part of your mind forever, this shoot certainly had a lot of these.
