Easter in Derbyshire

Well it's been an Easter back in the UK for me and a great chance to catch up with friends and family. I've also finished my book and submitted 47,000 words and 200 images to the publishers........ phew. Can't wait to see it published now.

Before I fly back to New York I will be photographing Sophie and Chris's wedding. It's promising to be a lovely day in two smashing venues, can't wait. First its Holymoorside and a quaint little church that has an interior flooded with light - just to make it easy for the photographer :-)

Then its on to Hassop Hall near Bakewell. This will be the first time I've worked there and I must say its a fantastic place, full of character. I had a walk around both venues on Good Friday with Sophie and Chris and we've identified a number of locations for the photography..... there's just so much choice I won't know when to put the camera down. Their pre-wedding shoot has just been posted too and to finish here's a sneak peak at a few of the images.

Till next time

The Engagement photoshoot

For Jane Haslam Photography the engagement photo-shoot is an essential step in the build up to any wedding, as it provides an ideal opportunity not only to establish confidence in the photographer but also establishes a relaxed working relationship between photographer and client.

We take our time to wander around the location, discussing likes, dislikes as well as trying out various poses, The resulting portfolio is made available for immediate download as well as being included on the final photo cd. The images can also be used to produce personalized gifts that say thank you to family and friends. Gemma and Dave had a love of wide open spaces and for them it was important that their photo-shoot placed them in the landscape where they loved to walk their dogs. For Ben and Ruth the lure of a vibrant field of rapeseed proved too much temptation and even though Ben w...

Image is everything

With my background in sport I suppose it's no surprise that I am trying to make a reputation for myself in high quality sports photography. So last night saw me make the tortuous drive across country to Shrewsbury Town FC, to photograph England's Women's side as they began their preparations for Euro 2009. As well as some great action, and a 3-0 win for England, it was lovely to catch up with a few old friends from the Football Association. It seems like an age since I left to start my new life in photography. Here a few of the results some of which may surface in my forthcoming book about girls and womens football. The weekend looks like being one devoted to rugby photography as t omorrow I am in the fortunate position of being able to cover a Guinness Premiership Rugby game - Leicester Tigers v Bristol in what is being billed as Super Saturday. It's the last regular day of the season so there should be a carnival atmosphere at the Walkers Stadium. Then on Sunday I wi...

Looking back, looking forward
