I have to be honest here, this wedding was a little easier to shoot than most due to the fact that the Bride is my sister in law. I was technically a guest too, but it’s pretty hard to not be a photographer first and guest second in these situations. The guys were really cool and didn’t want me to …
Rain Stops Play
The title may give it away a bit, but last weekend I shot an awesome wedding that was more than just a little wet and windy! Almost right on cue, the predicted turn of bad weather arrived just as I was working with the bridal party. This wasn’t a little light rain either; this was pick up your dress, run …
My Last Album of 2012
Whether it be a website, magazine or a wedding album, when it comes to design, I’m a big fan of clean, modern, and spacaious work. Free from clutter, collages, selective coloring and layered imagery. Your wedding album is intended to last the test of time, and simplicity always trumps current trends. That last bit goes for the images inside too. …
Perfect Wedding Light
September turned out to be a pretty quiet month for me with two different commercial projects being pushed back. Luckily however, I was able to see the month out with a fantastic wedding which saw a perfectly timed break in the weather. These were great guys to work with, they were both super relaxed from beginning to end, and if …
History Repeating Itself
A few weeks back I received an amazing album for some great clients whose wedding I shot earlier this year. They had the perfect wedding day, and were amazing clients, all of which helps to make my job easier, and in turn enables me to present them with an amazing wedding album. On the day, we recreated a shot with …
Summer Wedding
Over the years I think I’ve become pretty good at ensuring everything is prepared when I shoot a wedding, however, I wasn’t quite prepared for the heatwave that struck us last friday when I was shooting Phil and Annie’s wedding day. Everything just seemed to be perfectly effortless for this wedding; spectacular weather, a beautiful couple, great locations and fantastic …
I’m Back!
Back from a crazy busy week spent in North Yorkshire shooting the first of a series of amazing assignments for Taste the Wild with Chris Bax, finished off with an incredible wedding in Portsmouth. This week I got to eat some amazing food, drove 926 miles, took 3,402 photos, managed to get a total of 29 hours sleep, spent my 35th …
Glen-Yr-Afon Wedding
Thankfully, luck was with me on the weekend for what was forecast to be a very wet and windy Sunday wedding. The worst of the weather held off, and what rain we did get was never going to be enough to dampen the spirits of the day. The days celebrations took place at the Glen-yr-Afon hotel in Usk, which not …
Parent Books
This morning I received a set of parent books for a client that already taken receipt of their main album. I thought I’d take a minute to briefly discuss them as they are a very popular addition to wedding packages at the moment. Parent books are quite simply, scaled down copies of your main album that duplicate your layout exactly. …
First 2012 Magazine Advertisement
This morning I was sent my first 2012 issue of Your Wedding Day magazine, an inspiring glossy wedding magazine that features one of my new ads. It’s a great issue for me, I have the new version of my ad included, but I was also featured in the ‘find your photographer’ section of the magazine. It’s always a buzz receiving …
