Bucks Wedding Photography - Woughton on the Green

Woughton on the Green is a beautiful village on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. I was delighted to be booked to provide wedding photography duties for a lovely couple there back in March.

As is probably obvious from my blog posts, I don’t just enjoy using the camera for work.  I love going for a wander, playing around with different photographic disciplines and just taking some nice pictures.  After a few days of continuously grey skies overhead, I decided I would chase the sun rather than wait for it to come to me.  I didn’t have to venture too far from home to do so;  I headed…

Northants Event Photography: Kelmarsh Country Show 2017

The Easter Bank Holiday weekend once again saw Kelmarsh Hall play host to the 2017 Kelmarsh Country Show, organised by Countryman Fairs.

We visited on the Monday, and it was a bitterly cold, overcast but dry day – a stark contrast to the previous weekend’s glory, though crowd numbers still appeared healthy.
