You're going to love this one!

Jasmine and Luke were an utter dream to work with, I can't wait to shoot their wedding next month.
These two are majorly in love, and they're so comfortable in eachothers company, basicly exactly as it should be!

This was shot in a field of barley as we couldn't find a decent looking rapeseed field, I'm glad we opted for this beautiful field.
And thanks to the farmer who allowed to shoot in his field without him knowing about it. =)

Thanks for a great weekend guys!
Me and Jess had a brilliant time!
Enjoy this little teaser, the full set should be on here sometime this week, so keep an eye out for the pictures.

Mark and Laura II's wedding is the reason you're reading this post, so I'd better start talking about it.
This was a real fun wedding, they had the sun shining for them on this day, physically and metaphorically.
The amount of good things that their friends did for them to help them out was incredible! The massive amount of great food that was provided was amazing, the wedding cake that was "engineered", the "Bunsen Honeydew Band" and all the little things that made their day the best possible day it could of been for them.

I don't want to sound cheesy, and I don't think it'll be taken that way by Mark and Laura II and their guests, but I was really proud to be part of their day.
One of my favorite parts of the day at this wedding (and most weddings) is the "formal" shots of the groomsmen, most of Marks groomsmen and Best Men had already had the "Joseph Yarrow Group Shot Experience" ...so it was a total breeze and I love the resulting pictures. It always helps when the groomsmen and groom are relaxed and up for anything. It makes me look better than what I actually am! =)

Anyway, Mark and Laura II, thanks a million for asking me to be part of your day, I loved the whole thing and I loved seeing you both so happy. It was awesome.
Enjoy these bad boys:

A freshly married couple! Lovely Stuff!

A new Favorite:

...and you know I'm a sucker for the bride/car shot! =)


A little bit of trespassing never hurt anyone, how could we say no to this field? Thanks ushers for helping Laura over the gate (which was clearly padlocked)




C.U.T.E.


"What?"








Laura II, Mark II, Laura, Mark

I hope you enjoyed those, I'm sorry it took so long to post them, I've been so desperate to get them up online, so now they're up, it's a weight of my shoulders. Good ol' internet =)

If you plan to get married, then I'd really love to shoot your wedding. Contact me for details!

The next thing I'll be posting is Cassie and Paul's Engagement shoot, followed by their wedding, so keep an eye out, I've got some killer pictures from that one! =)

My posts are so sporadic at the moment, I'm sorry. With moving house everything else takes a back seat!
Amazingly though, I made time to do a photoshoot with my recently engaged friends, Luke and Elise...Then even more amazingly, I managed to actually write this post up inbetween phone calls to BT! (booo!)

A couple of weeks ago, when they got engaged, I thought I would make a post about the good news but realised I only had pictures of Luke.
An engagement shoot would get rid of that problem, and so it did!

Don't expect to see any pictures of their wedding on here, I'm going to be an usher! Which is nice! Thanks Luke!

We shot on the Downs in Bristol and we were blessed with really great light, but it was pretty windy as you'll see in one of the 1st shots.

Congratulations Luke and Elise!

They now own this tree...


Luke always had a huge smile!

A Damian Lovegrove inspired shot...

And now a couple of just Elise..




Gotta use up that blossom before its gone!

Sexy/Sweet




I'd kill to have a jaw line like Luke's!

If in doubt, do a silhouette!...I wasn't in doubt, but I did one anyways, its just how I roll...

Mmmm, Happy hour!

So yeh, we had fun. Thanks allot guys for letting me shoot you, I hope you enjoy the pictures!

If you (the people that aren't Luke and Elise)...want a shoot like this, just contact me. As you can see we have loads of fun and you end up with a plethora of sexycool pictures :)

Here goes

I Couldn't resist using the lensbaby for a bit, but soon gave up as it was too cold to use it. (terrible excuse!!)

I used a little strobist magic here to isolate Nathanael from the background

I wouldn't usually pride myself on this, but on Sunday morning which was the parents wedding anniversary, I got a phone call from Mummy Hornby telling me that she cried when she saw the pictures and was absolutely thrilled with them! Woohoo!!! =D

Again, if you're interested in having a photoshoot like this, please contact me!

Have a good Thursday everybody!

A few months ago, our friend Mel asked me if I would do a photoshoot with her brothers and sister as a present to their parents for their anniversary. Of course, I left it far too late, the anniversary was today (Happy Anniversary Dave and Caroline!), and we only did the shoot yesterday.
Mel came round today and put the pictures in the frames and wrapped them all up.

We had a few locations lined up, and honestly, we could not of chosen a better (and colder) day. It was beautiful! I've never seen Bristol look so amazing!

Enjoy these pictures!

Baby Sam loves the cake..

I really loved yesterdays shoot, it was awesome!!
If you would like a shoot similar to this please contact me, I love doing them. They're just a load of fun!

Techy Stuff:
Again, I'm still addicted to using my little 50mm f1.8 lens, so most of yesterdays pictures were taken with it, but I loved using my 70-200mm f2.8 lens, I don't get to use it much to be honest, but when I do, it never lets me down!
The 2nd, 3rd and 4th pictures were taken with it. Look what it does to the background and the foreground, it just pulverises it into a smooth tasty puree!...sorry.

Hope you're all having a great Sunday afternoon.
I'll do my very best to provide all you wallpaper junkies with a fresh dose tomorrow!

I wrote this post a few weeks ago, and I don't really plan on editing it, so just laugh at how out of date it is will you? =)
Here goes...:

Obviously, I've been very busy recently, I've had a nice little project on my hands!

The weather at the moment is fantastic though.
Have you had a chance to capture all those colors?

This project I've given myself has been great. Its kept me really busy whilst there aren't many weddings to do.
I really recommend that if you're finding yourself in a bit of a lull, just plan out what you really want to get some pictures of, and don't let anything get in your way.
Take some pictures of your parents, which I plan to do as soon as they're up for it.
Get up early to get pictures of the sunrise, which I don't ever plan on doing... =)
Ask your friends to dress up and come out for a walk, and turn it into an impromptu shoot!
I'm sure you've got a perfectly great camera in your house. Use it =)
Oh, and print them up, don't just leave them on your computer!!

I wanted to get in as many shoots as possible with a lens that I hired from http://www.lensesforhire.co.uk

I hired the 85mm f.14 nikkor, which was beautiful. One of the sharpest lenses I've used. And around £40 for an £800 pro grade prime lens isn't bad at all. I'll definatly hire from them again.

I only managed to do two shoots with this lens, but I think that was enough really, especially when I'm running out of space on my external HDD.

I've got plenty more shoots lined up, so keep an eye on the blog.

Onto Stef and Em's shoot.

In general, I have a pretty good idea for locations, but more often than not, my couples know the area better than myself.
We found a great location which, to be honest, I don't plan on telling you where it is because it was so great and I'm selfish! I'll let you work it out, its not impossible :)
I might do a TTD session here when I have the guts one day! :)

This shoot was just a couple of weeks ago, and believe it or not, it was actually warm, dare I say Hot?
The light at first was pretty tricky to work with, but by the end of the day, it was getting really golden and we soon found ourselves literally running to a spot where we could see some sunlight peeking through trees and bushes. Good fun!

Enjoy the pictures!

Stef and Em, thanks allot for letting me shoot you! You were very patient, but loads of fun! =)

If you are interested in having a photoshoot like the one I did with Stef and Emily, then why not contact me, and we can have a little chat.
