As a wedding photographer I typically work alone, as part of the bigger team of suppliers providing specialist services.

I love the independence and creative freedom this allows me but occasionally its fun to fully collaborate as a team on a project.

So this Rock n Roll themes styled shoot represented just that. As a WIBN member I have been delighted to connect with so many fabulous business owners, many of whom work in the same sectors as me. So recently I invited a few local suppliers to join forces on a shoot in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.

We decided on a more quirky theme so it definitely wasn't going to be an average shoot! On the day we started off in a very empty Hitchin market, giving me some excellent urban backdrops to work with. Then we moved through town to Hitchin Priory who were kind enough to let us use their beautiful venue. The Priory also happens to be the location of the WIBN Hitchin meeting so we knew it well. We had a lot of fun both inside the venue and utilising the outside spaces.

On the day not only did we have Kate's gorgeous VW Bus but a vintage motorbike to play with too! In support of our local charity Garden House, our models wore some stunning dresses selected from the charity's incredible Bridal store. Which is right in the centre of Hitchin should you know of a bride-to-be, bridesmaid or Mother-of-the-bride looking for a dress - be sure to mention it.

It really was a joy to work with so many talented individuals, all contributing to help me produce images I am very proud of. I love WIBN and the support of my fellow WIBN members, which I feel is reflected in the quality of the photos we all got out of an incredibly enjoyable day.

Bring on the next shoot!
