This image was taken on Rhonda's wedding day at Le Manoir aux Quat Saisons in Oxfordshire, in true photojournalistic style it has captured a moment and told a story.  This wedding image received a Gold Award from the judges in the Wedding photojournalism category in The Societies monthly awards.

Now for something a bit different.... The depth and range of Stuart's photography covers many aspects from high tech laser experiments to beautiful wedding photography and now fine art studies of animals.  This stunning image captures the grace and strength of this lovely young pony, we were lucky when the wind caught his mane to give some movement to the picture and of course some wonderful lighting.

Where has that year gone, I cant believe that we are nearly at the end of the year, and what a year, full of wonderful people allowing us the share in the celebrations of their special day.  Once again some of Stuart's images have been fortunate to have won awards in the last monthly SWPP competition.  All the images which have been awarded "Gold" awards throughout the year will now go forward to the grand final which will be announced at the SWPP awards dinner in January.  People often ask "Why do you enter competitions?" believe it or not, it is not the winning, but more pushing yourself to produce some great images, always looking at ways to improve and present the photography.

Surfing image takes sports gold

Just to prove that surfing isn't always blue skies and warm seas, this image was taken in autumn at Manley beach near Sydney Australia.  The image won a gold award in the sports category of the October SWPP monthly competition, and will now go through to the grand final which will be announced in January.

August brings more awards

With so many wonderful images from our August weddings to choose from it was difficult to narrow down our selection for the SWPP monthly awards competition as you can only enter one image per category.  Once again Stuart struck Gold and Silver with the images he entered.
