Dalby Forest

A few months ago a photographer friend and I were having a chat when we got on to talking about bikes, mountain bikes that is.  Anyway Colin lives a stones throw from Dalby Forest and told me how good the red route was and we ought to give it a go.  So fast forward a couple months and there we were pulling our shoes on in Dalby Forest car park.  Both of us have had busy summers with weddings so haven't got out on the bikes as much as we wanted but it was apparent on the first climb that Colin had had a few too many pies over the summer!

The red route at Dalby is pretty long, a good 3 hour ride, so take plenty of water and some food.  It's mostly singletrack but all rideable and the trail builders have done a fantastic job making it all weather.  If you're an intermediate+ rider it's worth the trip, great fun.








This one was taken by Colin....of me!

Jeni & Joe | Pre-wedding shoot | Castlefield

I met Jeni and Joe at a favourite place of mine, Dukes92 in Castlefield, Manchester.  We had a chat about the wedding over a latte before heading out to take a few photo's.  Castlefield is a great area to shoot, it's very quiet and has a huge variety locations.  These are a selection of images from the shoot.

RAF water polo team, Ponds Forge, 27th Setember 2008

Something a bit different, I got asked if I could shoot a league match for the RAF water polo team for promotional use. It was a steep learning curve but soon found the best place's to shoot from, this is what we got.













Anna & Struan | St.Annes at Baslow & Hassop Hall | 20th September 2008

A nice sunny morning greeted me when I awoke on the morning of Anna & Struan's wedding day, which makes a nice change this summer.  The day was fantastic and Hassop Hall did a great job of making the day run perfectly!  The night ended with great music from Sheffield band Highway Child.










Vicky & Dez | Carlton in Cleveland | 30th August 2008

A little trip a bit further North for this one. Vicky and Dez were married in the church in Carlton in Cleveland with the reception being held in a fantastic marquee in a corn field!
