Working with String of Hearts CIC is always such a joy! These images are from their 2025 showcase at Waterside Arts a few weeks ago. They're a community arts organisation doing fabulous work to connect and support vulnerable older people in Trafford & South Manchester through music. They're on a mission to raise £5K by the end of the year so please give them a follow and, if you are able, make a donation at https://www.stringofhearts.co.uk/donate.html

Seeing puffins, seals and the elusive pine marten in the wild last year during a trip to Scotland was one to tick off the bucket list. The sun shone down for our trip to the Treshnish isles off the west coast of Scotland for the puffins but photographing the pine marten entailed a 3 hour wait under a tarpaulin in the pouring rain. Totally worth it though! I've included some of my images from that trip among my favourite nature photographs from 2024.

Event documentary makes up the bulk of my professional work, often for organisations and charities who work supporting arts and culture in the North West, and I absolutely love it! In 2024 I was lucky enough to document art installations, concerts, conferences, performances, debates, dinners, award ceremonies and community gatherings, to name a few, and I got to work with so many lovely people. Can't wait to see what 2025 brings! Here are a handful of my favourite event images from 2024.

A few of my favourite portraits from 2024 (I just love a nice B&W!). Some of these are from portrait shoots, some are just captured moments from events I've documented in the past 12 months. I've worked with and photographed some truly lovely people this past year ❤️

At this time of year I like to look back over the past 12 months and share some of my favourite photos. This year, to help me whittle down the 1,000's of images I've taken, I thought I'd split it into categories - places, people, events, weddings and nature. So to kick things off here's one of my favourite landscapes from yesteryear - the lighthouse at Eilean Musdile (Mansedale) to the south west of Lismore in the Inner Hebrides.

Thinking back to summertime on this rainy Monday afternoon and remembering this absolutely gorgeous wedding! Huge congratulations to Neva Mowl and Benjamin Keir Jones , who were married at Whitebottom Farm on 7th September 2024. Neva's beautiful floral crown and button holes were created by Sweet Bud, hair and make up was by the wonderful The Vintage Beauty Parlour and the fabulous Honeyfeet performed in the evening. What an amazing day!
