Given my passion for sport and my near obsession...

The day started with a lovely...

I had the pleasure of photographing a real talent a few weeks ago and he goes by the name of Nick Cope, he is in my opinion the best childrens singer/songwriter i’ve ever come across and my girls simply love listening to him, whether it’s live at one of his performances, which he does all over Oxford or one of his cd’s in the car, they are a must pack for a long car journey.

Well it’s been an interesting week, at times it’s been a hard week, Adam and I have both had food poisoning, for those of you who have children you’ll appreciate that 2 sick parents and 2 healthy children are not a good mix, it wasn’t long before they were climbing the walls but all in all they were very good. Before the poisoning happened we had a a great long weekend of double...

Mark and Amanda celebrated their big day at Eynsham Hall My favourite weddings are those where the bride and groom put their stamp on the day, it’s lovely when you can see the personality of the couple come through, in this case there were some great things scattered through the day which were personal to them, from the tiny table settings, the flowers, the cake, even the dress was finished off...

I had the pleasure of seeing my dear friend Mark this week. Since he lives in Co Mayo, we only get to see each other about once or twice a year but it’s one of those friendships where we pick up where we left off. I met Mark at University nearly 10 years ago and as they say the rest is history.

The memories it seemed to...
