Travel Prints // Selecting holiday photographs for the bedroom [by Barnaby Aldrick Photography]

After blogging two wonderful short breaks to Paris (blog here) and Bergamo (blog here) earlier this year, two things occurred to me i) images with text over them look ace and ii) like a builder who never finishes his kitchen, I’m a photographer who’s had empty frames in the bedroom waiting to be filled since […]

Follow the adventure...

Stay in touch with my recent work on the socials:

I give you Kirsty & Gareth (garethp91): yesterday’s wedding delight in The Coach House at The Manor House in Lindley!

What a perfect relaxed day this turned out to be! It was such fun to hang with Kirsty and her girls in the Manor House’s epic bridal suites while my wingman Andy Matherson joined Gareth and the chaps on the other side of Hudds. My fave part of the day was possibly the touching dad daughter first look, followed closely by the aisle confetti shower / Gareth’s lovely motormouth 10yr old daughter Grace! All of great photographic value!

Kirsty & Gareth freely admit to not loving having their photos taken, but were great sports and a lovely energy to be around. They wanted a relaxed day with family and friends, and in this classy backdrop (with an awesome wedding dress), that’s exactly what they got! A fun pair and a fun day. Simples! !)

Love you guys for trusting and spewing me do my thing! Congratulations again, Barnaby 📷

On the 11th day of Christmas my true love gave to On the 11th day of Christmas my true love gave to me… THE BIG REVEAL!

Some moments at weddings have latent electricity and are just a joy to capture. Once the bride has got through the often slightly stressful gowning up, and the clock starts ticking down to go time, it's fun to get dad behind the door, and set the groundwork for a bit of magic...

I don't want to stage it, I just want to 'set the stage' for whatever could come. Some dad's cry... some bride cry... bridesmaids & mum's start flapping hands and looking at the ceiling. (I'm not sure the makeup artists always thank me for it!)

There's micro moments going on everywhere, and I'm often torn where to look myself as a tear wells in my viewfinder. But as a dad of a daughter now, I often fleetingly wonder what it'll be like for this to be me, one day. My little 2 year old girl, in a white gown that essentially says they're moving into a lifelong commitment with another significant man... It's pretty seismic, and can crack even the coldest stone of a dad!

Sometimes a bride gets ready away from bridesmaids and there's a reveal opportunity with them. Other times, Dad's sadly no longer with us and a son / nephew step up emotionally (and in a case this year, as a surprise to the bride had her dads cufflinks and tie pin on)

Occasionally, a couple opt for a non-traditional but often super lovely 'first look', where once everyone's gone in, the groom waits somewhere for 5 minutes with his bride before the ceremony and it's also an electric sequence that's super lovely to capture. 

Anyhoo! I wax too lyrically, take a look at these lovely big reveal / first look moments from the fab weddings of 2025!

On the 10th day of Christmas my true love gave to On the 10th day of Christmas my true love gave to me… GROUP PHOTOS THAT DON'T CRINGE!

I'd say in a poll of couples, wedding attendees and wedding photographers, that the highlight of the day is rarely doing the official group pics! And yet, when I see which pics get printed, guess what, they're mainly the group shots!

Happy New Years Eve by the way! I wonder if you've got a load of people coming over to party tonight? And I wonder if you'll take a pic of everyone, and share it? 

Group photos are actually one of the most significant time capsules from the day. That everyone shot is a banger to look back at in a decade. Didn't we look hot!? They split up. They're sadly no longer with us. Aww, we should get back in touch with them. And them... 

So to me, doing groupshots well, and making them fun is SOOOO important. No cringe, no ick, just creative, quick and slick! Ultimately I want my couple to be at their wedding reception for the maximum possible duration. Their pre-wedding meet is both to train them for quick portraits and to pin down that groupshot list so we can pile through it, in the right order in the fastest time. 

And if you've got a dog. Or 2 ponies. GET EM INVOLVED!

It's no surprise that hardly any group pics are shot in portrait format, so there aren't many full slide filling zingers, but here's a mosaic of my fave groupshots from the weddings across 2025!

On the 9th day of Christmas my true love (photogra On the 9th day of Christmas my true love (photography!) gave to me… The New Year Wedding Extravaganza of Angus + Philly (@angustread @philippadalby)!

 🎉 And what a celebration this Black Tie banger turned out to be! 🪩 

The winter sun shone all day! Morning preps had fab energy (and ‘It’s Raining Men’ dance breaks!). The wedding cars rocked (a stunning 1969 Aston Martin DBS and a navy Landrover Defender). The ceremony in their local church was a beaut. The reception looked stunning, in a marquee hidden inside their family plant nursery barn!). Speeches were that perfect blend of hilarious heart warming! 

And the evening! OMG! The best New Year’s Eve party evs! Champagne firing, sparklers, sparkly ski shots and a lit dancefloor!!)

What a blast… And what a way to end the year!

Happy New Year folks! I hope you had a lovely cele Happy New Year folks! I hope you had a lovely celebration last night!

On the 8th day of Christmas my true love gave to me... CONFETTI! And what a perfect way to welcome in a both newlyweds and New Year!

You'd think after almost 20 years of shooting it, I might have lost the love for confetti, but YOU'D BE WRONG!

On an ideal day, it's dry and the couple skip down the aisle, get a massive congratulatory hug from at least half the guests, then I hop up on a chair and begin the herding of fog for an epic confetti shot! 🎉

I discuss at the pre-wedding practice shoot about whether a couple fancy a confetti tunnel or my 'signature' CONFETTI BOMB! Both are ace, and as you'll see in these fave confetti moments from all the wonderful weddings from LAST YEAR, both rock!

The TUNNEL is the trad option, and in my experience and in spite of cheerfully telling guests to throw over and not at the couple, has a potential tendency of looking like the couple are being hailed with gravel (and even get it in their mouths half way down the line!).

The BOMB on the other hand is done (often after the everyone group shot) within a sea of guests and they all throw at once while a the newlyweds smooch! This semi negates mouth confetti; though the couples champagne glasses usually end up full of petals or rice paper!

Pro Tip: Avoid dusty small bitty lavender-y dried eBay confetti, as it's a nightmare to pick out of bridal hair! IMO colourful, biodegradable, or mid to large petals work best!

I pride myself in making them awesome and quick, so guests can get back to canapés / binge drinking while I power through the family shots!

I hope you enjoy the selection and have a very Happy New Year indeed! What kinda confetti are you considering?!
