What a beautiful place Dartington Hall is to have your wedding. There are so many fantastic places for photography I could have kept going all day.

With some fantastic locations in South Devon for photography, this model wanted a winter collection for his portfolio, and the back drop certainly works well.

These two looked amazing and were so well behaved at a recent wedding I photographed in Devon. I just thought you would like to see them. More images can be seen on my Devon wedding photography website.

With the latest promotion running saving 50% on studio portrait sessions, it has brought in a lot of parents wanting gift ideas for family and friends. New born baby photography sessions can be very rewarding both for the photographer and the parents, as with this session we ended up with so many beautiful baby images it was difficult for the parents to decide which ones to send out to their

I was recently asked to attend a family gathering and photograph everyone together as a special keep sake. Various members of the family had travelled from all over the UK to celebrate their mum's 60th birthday. The house they had hired for their weekend visit to Devon was featured a week later on national television in a programme called "Britain's Empty Homes". To my suprise...http://

Interior images for hotel brochures and websites are not difficult to achieve providing you know what you are looking for in your final images. Blown out windows means the rooms are full of light and look more spacious, combined with a very wide-angle lens will add more space to your rooms. When using a wide-angle lens the walls tend to look sloped at the edges so work has to be carried out on

Whilst putting together a shooting plan for a future wedding at Forde Hall in Newton Abbot, I thought I would take advantage of the beautiful sunshine and flowers that were blooming in Courteney Park. Since Sally Henley has taken over as town center manager, Newton Abbot has really developed into a beautiful place, long gone are the days of it being known as simply a market town. It now has

 Web TV filming in Torquay  Having spent the week waiting for the mist to clear and the sun to shine, yesterday we started filming a web interview with the independant candidate for Torbay Mayor, Susie Colley. It was fairly early and the sun lit up the bay beautifully and Susie said her scripted piece to camera and the whole project was wrapped within 30 minutes. Editing starts now and we

Wellswood in Torquay is the location of a restaurant and bar called Premier Cru, and I have to say this is one of my favourite haunts. It is beautifully and stylishly decorated and has a relaxed and casual ambiance making it the perfect place for a daytime drink, evening meal or somewhere just to unwind and relax at the end of the day. The staff are always happy, friendly and always willing to

A busy week this week having photographed more visitor attractions and restaurants in and around the Torbay area. Amici’s restaurant in Torquay offered new challenges with UV lighting and nightime shots on a busy Saturday night with party-goers taking to the streets early. Trying to get a clear street without pedestrians or attracting attention to myself took quite a while, but I got there

Indoor attractions are key when it comes to making the visitor enjoy the all year round experience in the South West, and thankfully this new indoor pirate themed golf centre is the perfect place for all the family. Once you have grown accustomed to the dark lights, glow-in-the-dark statues and wall murials it is a fun and clever venue for all ages to experience. However, photographing it for a

Studio portrait photography is all about capturing the right expression and you do this best by getting to know the person you are photographing and trying to create the right image for their intended use. Below is one image taken from a shoot in my Newton Abbot photographic studio of the Torbay Mayoral candidate Susan Colley. Other images were taken in various outfits and lighting set-ups, which

Wow, this year the enquiries are coming in thick and fast for smaller family weddings in boutique hotels and venues across Devon. Apparently more and more people are finding they can get huge discounts with venues if they opt for the mid-week package, especially if numbers of guests are limited to those of immediate family. All this is great news for my business as I tend to specialise in the

Paul Burling, the comedy impressionist and finalist in last years Britain's Got Talent, had his own television programme on ITV over the Christmas period and it was great to see some of his new impressions - including Harry Hill, Alan Carr and even Simon Cowell. Paul asked me to photograph him for his publicity picture a few years ago when he was touring the cabaret circuit performing on holiday

Photographing well cooked or prepared food really excites me. There is a passion coming from the chef that you have to match with your level of photographic skills - is the lighting right, is there enough depth of focus, are there enough shadow areas to add contrast etc etc etc. Making the food look as good as it tastes is a real challenge and when someone says "it looks good enough to eat" then

Today saw the start of a run of restaurants and pubs to be photographed for the Teignbridge Eating Out Guide. This is a lovely place - The Castle Inn in Holcombe. So nice in fact I have booked in for Sunday lunch where the award winning chef, Dirk Doose, is going to serve up a traditional Sunday carvery but with a modern twist. I look forward to it!

I see so many businesses go down the "home-made" route when it comes to providing an editor with their personal photograph for news articles that it drives me mad! Investing in a simple professional portrait will enhance your business image and give you with a much more readable story. The chances of your story being printed are vastly improved if you can supply a clear sharp and well lit

The sun came out and it was a beautiful day for this couple as they were joined by friends and family from all over the world to celebrate their wedding day. The Buckland Tout-Saints hotel near Kingsbridge in South Hams is a fabulous location with friendly and helpful staff, combined with cream teas on the lawn after the service this really was a wedding to remember. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting

Creating images for your brochure or website can be very time consuming and expensive, but with a well thought out brief and schedule you can save you a lot of time, money and effort.
