Wedding photography at Woodlands Hotel in Leeds, Yorkshire: Sarah + Jenna
May 10th was the wedding of the lovely Sarah & Jenna! A classically grey English spring day, held in its entirety at the Woodlands hotel in Leeds. There was lots of laughter all round, loads of thought put into the details and a seriously cool cake! There were also shoes everywhere and I visualised this compilation as I […]
Carly & Darren [Pre-Wed]
I met the lovely Carly & Darren today for a pre-wed at Oulton Hall on the South side of Leeds, heading Wakey way. It’s the first time I’ve been there and it rules! I’ve glimpsed one or two snaps of it’s pillared colonnade before but that’s about it. On turning into the grounds, you drive […]
Kate & Andy [Pre-Wed]
Check this crazy place out!! It’s Peckforton Castle, Britain’s only intact medieval castle set a hillside above the rolling Cheshire Plain – I’ve got a wedding here in 3 weeks! I’m giddy as a kipper about it! You can see the couple are fans of Disney movies – it’s the most fairytale castle I’ve ever […]
Leeds International Swimming Pool // Leeds • UrbEx photography by Barnaby Aldrick
The Leeds International Swimming Pool facility closed in October 2007 and is scheduled for demolition in June this year. A gifted photographer and friend, James Lester, likes to go ‘Urban Exploring’ and I decided to join him in a bid to document the last period of this Leeds landmark, with a possible plan to run […]
A long weekend in Ireland
I was lucky enough to be asked to Ireland recently to hang out with and photograph a band I’m really good friends with [in fact I used to play bass in this band once upon a time]. They booked Clare & I a flight and off we flew to get some promotional pictures for their […]
Sarah & Jenna [Pre-Wed]
It’s been a busy patch of Pre-Wedding shoots for me recently in the run up to a wedding-filled May! I’m really looking forward to it and have spent a lot of April clearing my desk, organising my calendar & tweaking my workflow for ultimate efficiency come crunch-time! The couple of weddings I shot through January […]
April's Sunday Service [TSG Images]
A few friends and I host an acoustic band night at Verve bar called The Sunday Service where we round up and serve what we think are is Leeds’s musical cream. It’s only once a month and therefore not too stressful always hunting acts down and it’s a great opportunity to photograph the acts we […]
Food Photography
I did this food shot for a Chef Special feature for the Leeds Guide Magazine while I was shooting their features recently. It reminded me what a challenge it is to make food look appetising. This shot was taken in a catering unit in Leeds just by the door to the carpark to let a […]
April's favourite Leeds Guide images
As you may know, I share the duties with a fellow wedding photographer Tom Arber photographing features for the Leeds Guide Magazine. Every month we get a brief to photograph people, food, products, buildings inside and out & a hell of a lot more besides. One minute you’re trying to get a documentary photograph of […]
Caroline & Damien [Pre-Wed]
In a run of pre-wedding shoots it was great to find time to meet with Caroline & Damien for coffee and a catch up. I’ve known these two for years, have been on holiday to Barcelona with Damo & went to the same school as Caroline, in her younger sister Joanne’s year. They’re getting married […]
