burlesque photography by Becky Ryan, Freida NipplesPINIMAGEburlesque photography by Becky Ryan, Freida NipplesPINIMAGE

In love with this shot from last night at the first Freida Nipples Presents… at the Old Nun’s Head during our tech before the debauchery began. Becky captures the most natural, intimate moments so beautifully and is the sweetest. I cannot recommend her enough to fellow producers looking for a professional photographer to capture the feel of their event” – Sadie/Freida

Last weekend I travelled down to London to capture one of our Starlet Suite ladies, Sadie’s, first self produced burlesque show. Despite being a burlesque fan I’d only shot a show once before a few years ago, just for fun, so it was great to give it another go over.  With it being a small venue, seating arrangements put quite a restriction on my movement during the show so I found a spot which I stuck to throughout the show but it was good practice for when such limitations come up.

I decided to not just cover the performances, but also a bit of the prep before the event and each of the performers doing their sound checks and run throughs on the stage too before doors opened, this was when the above shots of Sadie (‘Freida Nipples’) were captured and they’re some of my favourites of the evening.

The performers at this event were – Elena Gabrielle, Vienna Vavoom, Tom Harlow, Merica Moonshine, Dirti Daphne, Freida Nipples, Lady FKA, Scarlet Rivers and Yippeeikay.

It really was a fantastic night with such fantastic performers so if you’re a London local I highly recommend keeping an eye out for the next ‘Freida Nipples Presents…’!

I’d love to shoot more burlesque or cabaret events so if you’re a promoter, performer or putting on your own show do get in touch!

We’re back at the West Mill for my first wedding of 2017! Despite going into my fourth year of business now, my first wedding of the year is always somewhat ‘scary'(!), but I couldn’t have had it with a nicer couple which definitely helped with start of the year nerves!  The bride and groom were Raeesah and Tim, who you may have seen on the blog previously during their Matlock Bath Engagement Shoot.

Tim and Raeesah met back when they were at university in York, (and now actually work together at another university where they’re based up in Durham!). They’re keen to get out and about with Tim being a keen cyclist and Raeesah is into her running. The couple seem to like a challenge. After graduating they moved to the North of Thailand together, which was the first time they lived together! Also, for their honeymoon they managed to conquer Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in the Malay archipelago at 4095m! Something tells me their married life together is going to be an adventurous one 🙂

On the wedding day itself I loved the family involvement. Tim’s Dad started the day off by conducting the ceremony and Raeesah’s sister, a singer, helped bring it to a close by joining their wedding band for the performance of the first dance.

Thank you so much guys for having me their on your day, I wish you every happiness as a new Mr and Mrs!

I’ve got a special little Wollaton Hall engagement shoot to share with you all today. Kay and Andy and their lovely Sam chose a location that they had visited regularly as a trio over the years, the beautiful grounds of Wollaton Hall. Pooch Sam was rescued by the couple years earlier and had become part of the family. Unfortunately due to old age Sam wasn’t in the best of health come the start of this year and although they would have loved to have him at their wedding this Spring, they knew it was looking unlikely so couldn’t not have some photos with him instead of a traditional engagement shoot session. So it was a bittersweet day, but we got some lovely photos captured for Andy and Kay to treasure in the future <3

My 2017 got off to a lovely start with a close-to-home wedding at The West Mill, Derby, with super sweet couple Raeesah and Tim! It was a family and friends focused day with Tim’s Dad conducting the ceremony and one of Raeesah’s sisters joining their reception band in a performance of their first dance number. Here are just a few sneaky previews of their day for now, full blog post coming soon!
