Family portrait photography | The Goodridge Family

I met Dan through his job as golf events manager at the prestigious Hanbury Manor Golf and Country Club whilst enjoying a day playing golf myself. Hanbury Manor is not only a five* luxury hotel but one of the best golf courses in the area. It has twice held the European Tour's flagship event 'The English Open' on it's hallowed turf, so it was a real buzz for me to be playing on the same greens that the likes of Darren Clarke, Colin Montgomery and Lee Westwood have trodden on.

Dan has the perfect little family of four and it was a real pleasure to shoot some portraits for him. Below aare a few images from his family portrait session.

I thought I would post a couple of images from a recent newborn baby portrait shoot that amused me quite a bit. Especially the second image.

Was she trying to tell me something?!

Ashridge House wedding Photography | Emma and Michael

Shooting a wedding at Ashridge House was a first for me and I have to say, it is absolutely beautiful. Emma grew up near Ashridge House and I think it was always a place that she could see herself having her wedding. They both live in North Carolina on the East coast of the USA so there was plenty of organising done over the telephone and via the internet, but all in all, they really did have a special day!

The main entrance hall where the ceremony took place has one of the most fabulous staircases that I have seen in all my 31 years of photographing weddings. It really is a work of art and a photographers dream. If I had one criticism about this as a wedding venue it would be that there a simply too many places to make wonderful images. Literally everywhere you turn a stunning photograph is waiting to be taken.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy a few images from Emma and Michael's Ashridge House wedding.
