  • Thirlmere from Helevllyn Low Man, The Lake District

    Thirlmere from Helevllyn Low Man, The Lake District

    Evening light fighting through a band of rain as it swept in from the south

  • Branch, Hawes End, Derwent Water

    Branch, Hawes End, Derwent Water

    At first glance this may look like a short depth of field photo, making the more distant branches blurred. It is actually a long exposure on a windy day, the blur being caused by movement. One of the attractions of long exposures is how the camera records a scene differently to how it appears at the time. I expected to see more blur in the key branch, so was pleasantly surprised at how the main shape remained sharp.

  • Pike o' Stickle and Harrison Stickle over Blea Tarn, The Lake District

    Pike o' Stickle and Harrison Stickle over Blea Tarn, The Lake District

    One of the iconic views in the Lake District, and a favourite view that I like to rephotograph in different conditions. This version was taken one evening as light began to fail.

  • Reftections on Blea Tarn, The Lake District

    Reftections on Blea Tarn, The Lake District

    Taken towards the end of a wonderful warm sunny day in the Lake District. Clouds were beginning to build and with a complete lack of wind were reflected perfectly in the tarn.

    Last light illumination rocks in the tarn with Striding Edge in the background and the summit of Helvelllyn disappearing into the gloom on the right.

  • Fleetwith Pike from Buttermere, The Lake District

    Fleetwith Pike from Buttermere, The Lake District

    Taken on a very windy day. This was the second time I've stood in this location. It was equally windy the first time! Keeping the lens dry was a constant problem.

    Moonrise over St Sunday Crag

    The wall leads towards Striding Edge and Red Tarn, the slight downhill stretch before the path divides. The gap shows where Grizedale Tarn sits, Dollywagon to the right slope.

  • Ribblehead Viaduct, North Yorkshire

    Ribblehead Viaduct, North Yorkshire

    A few seconds earlier this magnificent structure was concealed behind a blanket of low cloud. I had a friend visiting from California and wanted to show him some of our local highlights - only it was invisible! Then he said he thought he heard something. I questioned him, then I heard it too and immediately went running to find a vantage point as The Fellsman crossed over the bridge.

  • Snow trees near Esthwaite Water

    Snow trees near Esthwaite Water

    We'd driven into the Lakes for a leisurely amble around High Dam when it started to snow. I know I should have checked the forecast, but this flurry caught us unaware in what has been the mildest weather since records were invented. I'd forgotten what snow looked like. A quick change of plan took us to Elterwater where we enjoyed a few short walks looking for photos. This is my fave photograph of the day. I almost didn't see this view. You can see my footprints by the left hand gate post where I took the typical 'lone clump of trees' square crop composition. I then walked a little further up the road to look for other angles but as my fingers chilled I turned back towards the car - walking on the other side of the road. Note this is another full colour monochrome shot.

  • Wastwater, The Lake District

    Wastwater, The Lake District

    Wastwater is the most dramatic of the English lakes by far. The steep screes plunging into the water are unmistakeable. It is a long drive round whichever way you choose, but the effort is always rewarded whatever the weather. On this occasion the sun was just breaking through the clouds and starting to tickle the slopes into life.

  • Langdale Pikes from Blea Tarn at dusk, Lake District, UK (Study 4)

    Langdale Pikes from Blea Tarn at dusk, Lake District, UK (Study 4)

    There had been a variable breeze causing constant shifts in the patterns on the water. Some shots showed no reflections of the Langdale Pikes, later shots had mirror-like reflections.

  • Langdale Pikes from Blea Tarn at dusk, Lake District, UK (Study 2)

    Langdale Pikes from Blea Tarn at dusk, Lake District, UK (Study 2)

    I took a series of shots during a breezy evening - this is one of the later images when the wind suddenly dropped.

Memories, moments and emotions. My wedding photography combines observations with artistic vision.
Love, joy and laughter shine through in many of my shots together with beauty and details that make each wedding so individual and special.
