The problem with being a wedding photographer is that weddings very often clash with festivals.
Tis year I’ve had to miss most of the best festivals (Download, Hevy, Sonisphere, Glastonbury, Reading/Leeds, Big Chill) due to being booked for weddings the same weekend. I feel like I’ve missed out. A lot! But I’m happy to be so busy with weddings, so…
I’ve shot the V Festival at Weston Park in Staffordshire every year since 2006. I’ve always covered both days but 2011 was the first year a wedding clashed with the Saturday. Luckily, I was still able to go down on the Sunday, and Evelyne & Isaac came along for the day too. It was Isaac’s first ever live gig.
We started with Ziggy (Son of Bob) Marley…
KT Tunstall – On stage and hanging out with Evelyne & Isaac backstage 🙂

No comment!
Jessie J – Still with a broken foot.
Kaiser Chiefs (yawn)
Tinie Tempah
Plan B
Glasvegas
And the headliners… Arctic Monkeys
We had a great day at the festival and I think Isaac had a little crush on KT. Hopefully next summer I’ll get to cover a few more festivals. Fingers crossed!
