Louise & Chris's engagement shoot
Louise & Chris are getting married at the rather grand Rossington Hall near Doncaster this November and I've met them up there an a couple of occasions to talk about their plans for the wedding day and to do a little engagement photography for them.

Fake Britain appearance
As you might have seen previously on my blog, I had an unfortunate experience with a "fake" Nikon DSLR a while ago. I wrote a piece that was published on the photography news website Petapixel which subsequently led to the BBC's Fake Britain getting in touch with me for an interview.
