South Devon Session

Had a really fun session on the southcoast with Matty Allen, Neil, Ollie Howe and Medland. I enjoy exploration and finding new waves to surf and this was my first time at this sport. A really cool place, scenery was stunning and the wave were punchy and ideal for bodyboarding.

The waves where small on the day we surfed but you could see the potential and get an idea of what it would be like with a bigger swell, a place I look forward to re-visiting!

The weather was also good with blue skys and bright sun which was idea for water photography. The guys where shredding the small surf on the drop knee (bodyboarding technique) so I got my camera and documented the session. I few of the shots I captured below.

Contort Bodyboarding Magazine

My good friend Matty Allen has been working on this for a little while now and I got my hands on issue one of this magazine for the first time on the weekend.

I must admit I was pretty stoked with the magazine, the design, layout and quality of the content which is brilliant. Contort is a magazine about British bodyboarding and it's community as well as some international articles on the sport of Bodyboarding . Please have a quite look at the home page of Contort magazine at contortmag.com

I was also happy to have a few photographs featured in the magazine which you can grab as a printed magazine or download for a computer or Iphone.

Stuart and Naomi

I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Stuart and Naomi on the 25^th of September at Boringdon Hall in Devon. It was my first visit to Boringdon and I was really impressed by how great the venue was.

The Ceremony took place in a beautiful court yard, with the reception held in a large gazebo located in the gardens.

The days celebrations was really relaxed and heart-warming with a lot of highlights and photo opportunities, including a great ceremony, a bouncing castle and a visit from a group of owls from the local rescue centre.

All the best to Stuart and Naomi, a few photography highlights of there celebrations below.

Portreath Surf Session

Some quality swell forecasted for this weekend, and with the weekend free from wedding shoots I jump on the opportunity of travelling down to the coast with fellow boogers Matty, Scot and Glen for some surf photography.

I recently recovering from a bad viral bug so didn't take my water gear but opted instead to dust of the zooms lens and grab a few shots of the action from land.

With the neap tide times most of our first choice spots weren't an option, so decided to check portreath which wasn't a disappointment with head heigh waves on sets and a few barrels coming off from the pier.

Looks like we should be in for a run of good swells now so hopefully have more shoots to update soon. A few snaps below from the action.

Daniel & Shontelle

Daniel and Shontelle got married on the 20th of August at Plymouth registry office before moving to the Walruss Inn for the wedding breakfast and later to Image night club for the disco.

They asked me to photograph the preceding of there day and capturing plenty of photographs of there family and friends. Unfortunately the weather wasn't playing ball and was awful for most of the day which made it a bit of challenge with the photography in the lowlight. But the day was filled with loads of memorial moments.

Delivered the final package to them last weekend while photographing Daniels sisters wedding, they were delighted with the results which makes it all worth while.

I have a few weeks off now till my last two weddings of the season, hoping to get some good waves this weekend and concentrate on a few more projects, will keep it updated.

A selection of photographs from the day below.

Gareth & Aimee

I photographed the wedding of Gareth & Aimee on the 18th of August. They had a small wedding ceremony before heading to Hollywell bay for a BBQ on the beach.

The weather was awful for most of the day and I would be lying if I said I wasn't slightly concerned about the possible lack of photo opportunities with a bbq in the rain on the beach! But by some miracle the weather cleared up an hour before the start time producing some glorious evening light. A few pictures from the beach BBQ below.

Paul and Libby's Wedding

Had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Paul and Libby last month on the 14th of August. The ceremony, reception and evening function where all held at Brickleigh Castle in Devon. Stunning location and great day all around. All the best to the couple.

A few photographs from the day below.
