About Me

My photo
I am 36, married for 12 years to Sarah & have 2 wonderful kids. Luke (11) & Amelia (5) I live in North Yorkshire, roughly half way between the Yorkshire Dales and the North York moors. I adore photography, weddings and portraits are my speciality but I also love fine art, landscape and architectural work. Away from photography I have 2 other jobs, I am an active memeber of my local (PTA) Parent teachers Association for my childrens school.

The week ahead

Hello everybody,
A very busy week ahead, i don't know if I can fit everything in!
Today - Helping my dad move house...oohhhh the joys!!!
Tues & Wed - Work & business related stuff.
Thurs through to Sunday - work, car shopping, computer shopping, clothes shopping, marketing, playing with the kids, possibly a day out planned, a 1st birthday party, taking some photos, planning a new photography project.  Assisting with some Makers and Shakers work.  If i get all that done, i think i'll reward myself with a nice few beers!
Have a great week and enjoy the bank holidays!
Kindest regards
Mark
The quote of today is - "Photographs are taken by artists not scientists" in other words you don't need the greatest camera in the world to take the greatest pictures!

Hi everyone,

Please see my interview on Makers and Shakers.  It might give you an insight into how I got started and what/who i'm inspired by.
A massive thanks to Sue Simpson who's motivation has re-invigorated by desire to make my business a success along with Makers and Shakers.
Thanks for looking

Mark

I'm also waiting for Luke to come back home after he stayed at a friends last night.
