Hi Facebook friends. If anyone would like to keep up to date with non wedding related content, it would be amazing to connect on LinkedIn which has kind of become my vocal space for business/brand photography & film.

For some unknown reason I really had the urge to go and photograph the blueberry smoothie I made for the kids breakfast. Have a couple of hospitality jobs coming up and have gone down the path of hybrid shooting so I can capture photo and film together. This is all possible shooting on the awesome Nikon Z8 and using high powered video lights. Fun times :-)

Lights, camera, action!

Wonderful to shoot in such a beautiful location for the extremely talented Serenna Wagner from This Inner Voice music therapy.

Hybrid shoots are becoming more of a thing for me at the moment. Capturing photo and video content (and in this case professional audio as well) helps business owners build up a good bank of strong media that can be used across multiple platforms to increase visibility, create brand growth and generate engagement.

What are your visual media goals for 2026?

So..... Albums.... What do they look like? Are they worth the investment? Well without bias... 100%. Our partners at Henley Albums make the most beautiful handmade presentations. Beautiful finish, solid spine, premium boxing and a number of customisable features too. I'll cant overstate how incredible they look and feel when on your coffee table!

Video has been massive for me this year. Weddings and events aside, I wanted to get some practice time in to work on my drone cinematography so thought I'd make a little project out of it.

A short film on Chinnor, Oxfordshire...

This was a little bit of a passion project, I'd been meaning to explore for a few years.

The idea was sparked when I recalled a conversation with my neighbour who had not been able to walk some of the local spots. I thought that with a good proportion of the village population being in their senior years there were probably many locals that had never seen the quarry or village from the higher look out points, so I thought I'd try and create something from a perspective not immediately accessible to all. As the project went on I looked for spots and waited for optimal conditions when possible.

So here we have it, Chinnor at the foot of the Chilterns featuring the Ridgeway (UK's oldest road), the historic Chinnor Railway, the Chinnor windmill and the Chinnor quarries featured in "007: Die another day."

Enjoy

:-)

My photo superpower for October is to melt the backgrounds like butter with a 50mm 1.2 lens. The effect more exaggerated the closer I am to the subject. The trick is to get just the right amount of bokeh background blur to suite the scene. Best time of year for shooting like this. :-)

Fellow business owners in the Oxford area, there's a cool new business networking meet-up in central Oxford. Here's a short video of what to expect. Next one is on Tuesday 21st October.

So this year has been the year of the drone. I started flying back in April, got my certificate and straight into action. Luckily I live in an area where there are breathtaking landscapes on my doorstep.

Anyways, I wanted to raise a point... Drones are now loaded with AI tracking for people, cars and buildings and it is really incredible what kind of shots you can get out in the field. Not just a tool for landscapes and real estate, but this year I've done weddings, golf days, yoga instructional videos and business promo reels. Here are a few left over clips from a session the other day. Not a music video but a music therapist demonstrating the power of space, nature and music combined.

Do you have a story that can be told from a drone perspective?

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. First one in a few months without a wedding so a little family time and catching up on a few tasks late on a Saturday evening.

Just a quickie... As the branding side of the business is growing, I've decided to keep Insta and Facebook predominantly for weddings/events/lifestyle but am using LinkedIn for business/corporate/branding/commercial. I know there is a little crossover but basically if anyone has any need or interest in that kind of photography/film I am communicating info on that platform.

So if you have a need now or in the future for headshots, promotional films, social media content etc I'd love to connect on LinkedIn

Creating visuals for business owners is something I really enjoy. Not just the photography side of things but the way we design a session to help you with your business goals whether it be with photos and/or film. For this particular project the goal was to create visuals for a start-up business to convey charisma, personality and authenticity with further imagery to accompany editorial and educational posts and a high impact 30-60 second promotional video as an introductory piece. The more I talk to businesses and do these kind of assignments, the more I realise how powerful good visuals are. Fun times!
