Event Photography in Stockton

The Stockton International Riverside festival is always a fun filled weekend and so it was with great pleasure that I accepted an invitation to capture the atmosphere and energy of the weekend for Manifesto, a Sunderland based magazine with its ears firmly clamped to the ground of grass roots music. The weekend will go down in history as the inaugural Stockton Weekender but for many it was just another fabulous weekend filled with the sound of music!!
The pictures I have selected from the last day of the festival depict The Wildcats of Kilkenny doing what they do best...

Documentary style wedding photography at the Manor House...

The Manor House Hotel was the perfect setting for the marriage of Tristan and Lorna. It was one of those weddings where you simply "had to be there" to appreciate the planning that had gone into making their day just perfect... even the sun did what its supposed to!
These are just some of my favourite photos from the day.

 

Cool Jazz on a hot summers day...

I was recently approached by Sarah Travena an up and coming Saxophonist to do some promotional photographs. We arranged to meet on a Sunday afternoon at The Jazz Cafe in Pink Lane, Newcastle and I was blown away by the atmosphere of this small and very friendly pub situated in the heart of Newcastle where local musicians just turn up and play. Photographs taken, I sat back and soaked up the atmosphere of this traditional pub and chilled to the smouldering sounds of Jazz being played just as it should be.... with energy, heart and soul!
It won't be too long before I make a return journey to chill out in one of the friendliest pubs that Newcastle has to offer.
