This Weekend Conde Nast held an event with their publication Brides Magazine. I had the pleasure of taking some photographs of the venue as the event started and believe me, it was a sight to behold.

Festival of Speed Gallery /
The Festival of Speed is an event like no other, with more than 200,000 people attending over the event it could be that FoS has now become the largest Green Field event in the world and certainly there is nowhere else I would have rather been.
This year we celebrated 120 years with Mercedes-Benz, who stole the show with their breathtaking central feature that was the first in history to soar over the top of Goodwood House!
We witnessed Seb Loeb win the shoot-out in the Pikes Peak, Lewis Hamilton Donoughting outside Goodwood House, Anthony Reid lose a wheel at Molcombe corner after a small incident with the flint wall and Chris Hoy speed into the haybales.
Another fantastic moment was John Surtees marking his 50th anniversary of winning the 1964 F1 title. The occasion was marked with a special hill climb in which Surtees drove his Ferrari 158 alongside Kimi Raikkonen in his title winning 2007 F1 car.

Friday at Goodwood Festival of Speed was full of pleasantly surprising sunshine! There was some great hill action as super cars screamed up the track.

New Lamborghini Huracan on Track /
The first glance of the new Lamborghini Huracan on Goodwood's Track is here! The manufacturer has our track to show off just what these powerful cars can do! Could not resist taking a few photographs for www.grrc.goodwood.com
CKL Track Day /
Today our friends from CKL Developments visited Goodwood's Motor circuit to push the cars hard round the track, after all, what the use of having so many outstanding historic race cars if you can't put them to the test!
The most fantastic grid line start with the team and clients of CKL Developments.
The cars on the grid line varied from the Ecurie Ecosse D-type to the Ferrari 250 'Europa' GT and I just couldn't give up the opportunity to go for a drive!
Thank you so much CKL Developments for another fantastic day.
Tom Cruise Visits Goodwood /
Earlier in the week I got the opportunity to photograph Tom Cruise as he visited Goodwood for a Track day with Lord March. Everyone had a fantastic day as they sped around the Goodwood Motor Circuit in new Ferrari's, McLaren's and Rolls-Royces, to name just a few.
After speeding around the circuit, we then went to visit the Boultbee Flight Academy to get a feel for the Spitfire TR-9.
1956 Jaguar D-Type 'Shortnose' /
Last week I had the luxury of spending an afternoon at CKL Developments, who specialise in classic and historic Jaguars. CKL are renowned for their incredible talent in restoring historic racing cars with their original panels and parts.
I felt privileged that they gave me the opportunity to be driven in the most spectacular original 1956 Jaguar D-type Shortnose. Often regarded as one of the most desirable of historic racing Jaguars, this D-Type was fantastic to take a spin in on a sunny afternoon.
Justin Rose /
We couldn't be luckier to have Justin Rose as our Goodwood Golf ambassador. Thank you for a brilliant master class today Justin.

A small selection of my time with this bright spark… Click on the images to have a flick through!
McLaren 650S Spider /
What a day!!!!
I spent this sunny afternoon accompanying Nicholas Minassian at Goodwood, doughnutting and completing the hill climb in this stunning Mclaren 650S Spider. Fast would be a huge understatement for my experience in this car, with a top speed of 204mph this will be an unforgettable experience.
Cream Tea /
Today there were some delicious cream teas served in the Goodwood House Ballroom for the open days! Cant wait to have some more of these!
Glorious Goodwood Racecourse Campaign /
With the weather unfortunately not looking so glorious yesterday; the racecourse barely visible under a blanket of thick fog and rain, it was time to proceed with this years Glorious Goodwood Campaign.
Edd Horder & his team did a fantastic job, with Ella and Bonza the horse being the stars of the show. I am looking forward to seeing the final image after the retouching!
Black & White Film /
I decided to go back to where my photography began when photographing Goodwood's 72nd Members meeting and shot a role of black and white film.

Simply Unmissable /
'Simply Unmissable' is the only term Goodwood can use to describe the first year of the reopened Members' Meeting. The roar of engines, lovely guests and a bustle of excitement filled the Motor circuit for the most spectacular weekend and I feel very lucky to of been there with my team of photographers. The motor circuit saw some of the most precious of motor cars taking on the uniqueness of Goodwood's track for the first time, for example, the 1980's Group 1 racing saloons. Perhaps the glorious weather and the joy of the members built up an atmosphere quite like no other, but one thing is for sure, the 72nd Members's meeting was special for all who were in attendance.
David Gandy at 72nd Members Meeting /
It is lovely to see a some familiar faces at Goodwood's 72nd Members' Meeting this weekend, one of those being David Gandy. The model and Car enthusiast was photographed below wearing his tailored specifically for the occasion suit from Henry Poole of London's Savile Row.
Aston Martin DB3 at 72nd Members' Meeting /
This stunning 1952 Aston Martin DB3 was brought to Goodwood this weekend by its owner Mark Midgley. This car is one of only 10 made and believed to be one of 6 remaining.
T'was the night before 72nd Members Meeting /
It was the eve of the 72nd Members Meeting and you couldn't of kept myself and a few of my photographers away! There was much excitement at the Motor Circuit for the special weekend that was about to commence; as the cars filled the paddocks and the drivers were briefed there was a certain charge in the air.
