Babington House Event Photography – Celebrating 50 years

Pin It

Event Photography -

As a London Event Photographer it’s a refreshing change to escape from London. There are some wonderful boutique hotels around the country and Babington House near Frome in Somerset is one of my favourite event photography venues. It’s a relaxing hotel, set in 18 acres, stylish but not pretentious and run by really lovely down to earth staff. I was on hand to do the event photography for a double 50th party and with the help of Lou Smith we documented a truly remarkable family celebrating with their closest friends and family.

A really memorable weekend of fun filled event photography.

Vintage Furniture – Rosewood & Teak

Pin It

Vintage Furniture -

Just for a change, here’s a little postette about my brother-in-law, Dan Poole of  Rosewood and Teak – Vintage Furniture.

Based in West London, Dan sources and sells collectable vintage furniture from the 1950′s & 60′s, specialising in the best of British and Danish craftsmanship and design. Most of the vintage furniture he buys are wood based incorporating solid Teak, Rosewood and Afromosia (African Teak). His expertise is primarily chairs and sideboards, but he has such an excellent eye for design that he really enjoys discovering a piece that is both beautiful to look at and a great example of such a classic genre.

What makes Dan particularly good is that he aims to acquire pieces that will retain their value, mostly mid-range and therefore avoiding the more mass produced and obvious designs. He buys a few pieces each month and prices them fairly and unlike many other dealers, he doesn’t have a shop so he’s very competitively priced.

If you’re in the market and appreciate these timeless and functional works of art, then contact Dan via his Facebook Page.

You can also visit Dan at the Midcentury Modern show at Dulwich College on 18 March 2012

A London Wedding Photographer in Cornwall

Pin It

A London Wedding Photographer - 

As a London Wedding Photographer it’s not often I find myself at the furthest end of South West England, but when I do, I know I’m going to have a fantastic time. Shima and Ben’s wedding didn’t disappoint with a unique weekend of West Country flavoured fun at the family run Bodrugan Barton Farm near Mevagissy! The staff went all out to look after their guests, some who had travelled from as far as Iran, Japan and Australia.

Special mention to the Blue Suns, a sensational Californian based Rock band who were simply brilliant! Looking forward to being a London Wedding Photographer in Cornwall again very soon!

Lou Smith – Baby Castings

Pin It

 Baby Castings - 

There’s this chap I know who lives up the road from me called Lou Smith of LouSmithMedia.

I’ve mentioned Lou on earlier posts because he occasionally works with me when I need a proper back up photographer or videographer. He’s one of those amazingly skilled and creative people that seem able to turn their hand to just about anything! The long list includes furniture maker, jeweller, T-Shirt designer, screen printer, video editor, lampshade designer, dad and tadpole hatcher!

Lou also makes exquisite Baby Castings in in a variety of metals, resins and plaster which can be mounted on a plinth and etched with names and dates. A perfect way to remember your newborn’s cute little feet or hands or as a Baby Shower gift for the proud parents. To learn more about the baby castings process, have a look here and then contact Lou Smith here.

Lou is married to the musically talented Lorraine Liyanage who runs the highly acclaimed SE22 Piano School.
