Reign by What Katy Did Next | Inspiration Shoot

April 1, 2014 | SallyT

Whenever Katy of What Katy Did Next asks me whether I’d like to be part of her next shoot I always say yes.. and then ask about her ideas. She is so wonderful at pulling together a collection and styling it to perfection that working with her and her pieces is always a dream.. but she told me this one was particularly ‘right up my street’. She knows I adore GOLD. We had wonderful models Katherine (who you may recognise from previous shoots) and Mumbi who stepped in at the last minute, but couldn’t have been more perfect.

Here is Katy’s latest collection, Reign.

The shoot, along with a lovely mini video, was featured on Rock My Wedding

Kerry & Rob | Las Vegas

March 20, 2014March 20, 2014 | SallyT

I still can’t really believe that I got the chance to go to Las bloody Vegas to shoot Kerry and Rob’s wedding.. and, looking back through pictures, it’s really quite difficult to resist browsing the internet looking for flights to take me back..

Never mind the whole day being out of this world, from when we touched down in the desert to the day we left, everyone there for Kerry and Rob had an absolute blast. Kerry was wearing an amazing custom made wrap dress, slightly Elvis style collar, with buttoned boots and a birdcage veil.. they married in the early evening so they had a ‘first look’ before we headed down the strip to do some couple portraits. They were married at the Chapel of Flowers (which I wasn’t permitted to photograph) by Elvis and we grabbed a few more nighttime portraits, before we all hit the Fremont Street Experience to get merry. A-bloody-mazing. Here are the pics..

Sassterclass | Personal Work

March 19, 2014July 9, 2014 | SallyT

A few weeks ago I attended the Sassterclass Workshop, run by Sassy of Assassynation. Sassy’s work is so ‘out there’ and, although, strictly, it doesn’t fit the usual aesthetic of my own work, I went along to get a different perspective and learn another side and style of wedding photography. It was so much fun and so much was crammed into the two days that we spent down in Birmingham. Two couples came along for couple shoots and there was a styled shoot the next day.. it was all a hell of a lot to take in in the best way possible. Here are a few of my pics from my time there.. Taken on a mix of digital, film (my Olympus Trip 35) and Instant Film (Fujifilm Neo Classic).

Sassterclass | Preview

Here and there, usually around once a year, I sign up for a course/workshop/mentoring session to try and improve what I do.. I look back on my images and see how I can push myself more, try and become more efficient behind the scenes and hopefully create better images than before.. I’m usually trying to look at the world around me with fresher eyes.

Last week I headed down to Birmingham for the ‘Sassterclass’, run by Sassy at Assassynation. Sassy is known for going above and beyond to get shots with amazing impact, and I trusted she would help push my work further; I definitely came away feeling like I’d had a creative kick up the arse.

Here is a little preview.. more to come soon.
