Light on the river

The River Ouse at Bedford, is a great place by day to watch the swans and the rowers doing battle, but by night it takes on a fantastic atmosphere with coloured lights.

I spend quite a bit of time working for a company in Bedford and often stop at the Swan Hotel just beside the river.  Would i recommend it, well lets just say it's getting better :)

Face to Face

Most of my time is spent taking pictures of people, and so it was great taking pictures of people as art.

I love these masks that dominate the town in Bedford

Julie & Michael Pre Wedding Photoshoot

It's not long until Julie and Michael tie the not at Tullie House in Carlisle, so we went for a walk in the local park the other day.  The sun was beating down so Julie and Michael enjoyed one of their few days off from work together.

Remember all of our wedding packages come with a free pre-wedding photoshoot.  Our prices can be found on http://www.kelticrose.co.uk/ along with more photos from this photoshoot.

Jo's Iconic Makeover

What a great 21st birthday present for Jo.  Her idols are Cheryl Cole and Emma Watson (from Harry Potter), so we did some research and came up with some iconic photos of these stars that Jo liked.  We then set about with our partners Jelli Nelli from http://www.jellinell.com/ to makeover Jo in the style of Cheryl and then in the style of Emma and take pictures in similar poses to those that Jo had chosen.

Below are a few from the photoshoot.

If you like the idea of a photoshoot in the style of your icon then why not give us a shout.  All our prices are on http://www.kelticrose.co.uk/

Pirelli International Rally 2011

Saturday saw the Pirelli Rally start and end in Carlisle.  This year many of the events revolved around the racecourse so myself and the kids went up to have a wander round a few times during the day.  The rally itself took place in Newcastleton forest, and Kielder forset.

Ruaridh and I went up about 8pm just in time to see the winners coming through, just as the sun was starting to set, and just as it was getting cold ;-) .

First place went to David Bogie and Kevin Rae who were in the Mitsubishi Evo 9 followed by the lads from Ireland Robert Barrable and Damien Connolly in a Skoda Fabia S2000.

Behind the Scenes

It's not often that I post behind the scenes pictures, but I really liked this one which includes Helen from Jelli Nelli (http://www.jellinelli.com/) working with Jo who really wanted to have photos in the style of Cheryl Cole and Emma Watson.

Valentine Photo Shoot

Candice and Johnny were lucky winners in our 12 days of Christmas competition and won not only a photoshoot together, but also a bottle of sparkling wine, a box of chocs, and a framed print.

I think they had loads of fun last week working with myself, and Jelli Nelli.  Jelli Nelli taking care of the hair and makeup.

Later this year we have the pleasure of recording the fantastic day which is Candice and Johnny's Wedding.  Should be great :)
