Mrs Beanphoto had a bit of a party last weekend, something of a retro affair with lots of old vinyl and it gave me a chance to grab a few snaps of some of the guests to add to my ongoing LP Cover Art portrait collection. So here’s presenting Cindy Starlight, Missy Martha and my … [Read more…]
I’m a tad late posting on Halloween’s goings on this year, mainly because it fell plonk in the middle of Lancaster Litfest and so I was somewaht otherwise engaged, however I’m not one to let the chance of some pumpkin carving and ghouling go by and here are this years efforts, the first one by … [Read more…]

Well here are a few examples I created earlier which I think are kind of rather nice… Jonathan Bean Photography | Lancaster based professional wedding and portrait photographer | www.beanphoto.co.uk
I’ve just spent some time working on actor, Ian Blower’s headshots taken earlier in the year, and so it seems as good a time as any to post a reminder for any actors and actresses in the North West looking to update their headshots that I am available at very reasonable rates to do the … [Read more…]
This last weekend with no weddings on, I was able to make a trip back home to Nottingham and see my mum and dad. It was great to have a break, kick back and relax a bit. Of course it wasn’t long before I was asked to get the camera out so dad could have … [Read more…]
Richard and Sara’s recent wedding at the ever-fabulous Ashton Memorial in Lancaster’s Williamson Park was a real sixties throwback affair, vintage Routemaster bus, the sharp suits (and even sharper shoes) and overall black & white theme was a great look. Richard was previously best man at Brian and Fran’s wedding in 2007, and the honour … [Read more…]

I’ve been on holiday these last 2 weeks, but just before leaving I was at Ribby Hall Village near Preston for the wedding of Kieran & Diane. It was my first time photographing there and it was one of those days when the rain barely let up for a minute, though it didn’t really seem … [Read more…]

The Ashton Memorial seems to have been even more popular than usual for me this year, and on Friday I was there again for the wedding of Paul & Laura. We hadn’t actually met until the day of the photos as I was booked late on just to take the group shots and lift some … [Read more…]

Some time ago I inherited all my dad‘s old negatives (he was a bit of a photography buff in his early days) and amongst them are some absolute treasures of family snapshot photography.
