Welcome to Situpandkick, the equine photography business of Michael J Dixon. If you were looking for me as a wedding photographer around Cambridge and Ely, it now has its own website, www.youmaynowkissthebride.co.uk  . "Situpandkick" just didn't seem appropriate any more (someone suggested "Shutupandsmile") and I'm now giving a complimentary wedding CD of all the images to the happy couple at every wedding. These come with a six side glossy insert of the pictures that you like best.

Finding Your Pictures:

Pictures are stored by venue (top left of this page), and then by event. If a picture looks too light, or dark, or if the horse isn't in the middle, don't worry; I colour correct and crop every image before I print it (that's why we don't print on the day).

If there is one that I can't print to a professional standard then I'll give it to you and either refund your money or give you two other pictures of the same size. If you're not sure about a picture (sometimes it's hard to see your expression on the screen), or if you would like the image cropped in a particular way, then please ring me, Mike, on 07739 913696. I can put a higher resolution version up on the home page for a few minutes for you to look at.

 Situpandkick are very pleased to be supporting Phoebe Buckley again this year, as she rides the four-star horse Little Tiger owned by Dr Polly Taylor.

 Click  here to read the Badminton diary from 2007, when Phoebe took Little Tiger to 38th place.

They managed 38th again this year, but out of a larger field of finishers, and with a spectacular round cross-country. Some of the pictures are already in the Phoebe Buckley photo library. When I get a moment, I'll write the diary (including how I got the lorry stuck on the way INTO the lorry park...) and I'll put the film up on Youtube. There's a bit from Burghley last year already. 

 We now have an on-line forum: with details of upcoming events and space for letting off steam. Please take a moment to register and tell me what topics you'd like.

My Photos: You can now create your own gallery of pictures under your username. We've got loads of webspace, we won't be archiving anything off the site, so please go ahead and have a go. It's all free.
