Mr Owen Jones

Irksome when you meet someone younger than you, rousing a crowded room to cheers and whoops, but there we are. Owen Jones, author of ‘Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class’, writer and regular left-wing arguer on TV & Radio. Dead nice guy.

Leader of the Green Party, MP for Brighton Pavilion. Campaigner for alternatives to globalisation, trade justice, animal welfare and green economics. And thoroughly nice person; Caroline Lucas.

Shauna & John tied the knot and partied in the lavish surroundings of Stubton Hall (jump) on Sunday.

Beautiful couple, beautiful location and a beautiful, bright Christmassy day.

Ms Katherine Kelly for the Radio Times

Here’s a shoot I did a few months back (October?) for the Radio Times. Katherine Kelly (Becky McDonald in Corrie) leaving the Street. It appears in the Christmas 2011 issue.

Thanks to Etienne Varg for assisting me, Lorraine McCulloch for styling, Christopher Raine for Hair & MUP and Olivia Howitt & Dawn Coomber for sorting everything out.

Some images from the shoot:

And some behind-the-scenes of everyone thoroughly enjoying the weather:

Susannah & James, Oxford

Lee Garland — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:58:48 +0000

Susie & James got married in St John’s College Chapel in Oxford, and went on to the Ashmolean for their Reception. It was a stunning day, with such a lovely couple.

Oh – and I was inspired to buy a Super-8 camera…

Thanks to Etienne Varg for assisting. Susie’s dress, btw, was from The Little White Dress.
