So its Wednesday sharing and this week im going local. Like on my doorstep local and I think your going to like it – Barnaby Aldrick a Leeds based wedding photographer . This is definitely a blog that I check all the time, for so many reasons. Images mostly, but the stories and comments are definitely a key factor of my constant return. You see when Barnaby posts he adds his own little insight, put’s his stamp all over and really makes every post enjoyable.

But, I would also like to tell you about the authenticity behind his posts. When I was first starting out in the wedding business and trying to get any type of portfolio at all I contacted Barnaby. I actually came across him via David Jay’s website in America ( the internet makes the world a smaller place) and I asked him to see if I could second shoot and he very kindly said no. No to the weddings,but, he did say that I could assist him on a couple of other shoots for the Leeds Guide. I was thrilled, I booked the 2 days of work as holiday and was so excited  – I mean I was assisting a pro! 😉 The shoot came and Barnaby let me shadow his shots, gave me tips on my lighting and was just really kind to me. I was allowed to blog my images, he even mentioned me on his blog and I felt cool. So.So.Cool! Not long after that I attend my first workshop with 3B Media which he was apart of  – getting to know my camera and then I signed for a second one – which was weddings. In every meeting with him his passion to help others learn is standout.

I think aside from the brilliant images and  fantastic portfolio, people book Barnaby because of him. His honesty, fun and for being an all round good guy. So, go take a look at his blog and you will soon have it book marked and be going back for more..From weddings to babies to holidays to his rescue dog to his urban explorations and a few music videos you will  really love what you see.

I thought I would leave you with this car – because its cool! 😉
