Carlos & Sam – A Wedding at Old Thorns Manor Hotel.

Friday, May 11th, 2012

I recently posted a sneak peek from Carlos & Sam’s gorgeous wedding day at Old Thorns Manor Hotel. Well, they seemed to go down so well that here are the rest of them, or at least my favourite selection!

Carlos & I go way back (over 30 years!) and it was a real privilege to be a part of the wedding day as he married his lovely fiancée Sam alongside all of their friends and family.

Old Thorns is an amazing venue, with a totally eclectic mix of interior design throughout each different section of the hotel. From a wall of classic movie images, fine art and sculptures, right through to a self-playing piano and a pair of matching thrones. Add a championship Golf Course to the mix, and we really were spoilt for choice when it came to choosing locations for some intimate portraits of the newly married Mr & Mrs Dabreo.

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do. Please leave a comment or two – I’m sure that Sam & Carlos would love to see your comments too!

LOST PROPHETS – Southampton Guildhall, 2nd May 2012.

Wednesday, May 9th, 2012

The Lost Prophets rolled up in their tour bus to Southampton Guildhall last week for a long overdue visit, and they had plenty of fans more than happy to see them.
I was there on behalf of the Guildhall as usual, although I was expecting the pit to be a little busier with photographers (maybe they heard about the shockingly bad lights!), and in total just three photographers were there to capture Welsh rockers Ian Watkins & Co, complete with megaphone, in their full glory.
I’m sure their adoring fanbase had an amazing time. The band rocked out all of their best known songs and got a great reception. Shooting a lively rock band in almost total silhouette is pretty tricky, but you have to crack on, and I’m pretty happy with this set of images.
No doubt the fans will be hoping to see them back on the South Coast in the near future. If the band bring a few more lights next time, then maybe a few more photographers might hope they come back again too.

If you have a moment, please leave a comment or two below as usual. Thanks!
