What a great pleasure to photograph the marriage of my niece Lucy to Will on New Years Eve. I have been baby sitting Lucy (and her three sisters) pretty much since day one – nappies, tantrums, dancing competitions, treasure hunts and now she’s married! Will and Lucy compliment each other so well. Their wedding day was epic with 230 plus guests coming from all over the country and by midnight the bar nearly run dry! As Will and Lucy head off into the Kenyan sunset here are a few images from their day….
There was glorious sunshine in the Peak District last Saturday for the wedding of Ben and Sally at the Maynard Arms. One of the many highlights from the day was heading off in to the Peaks with Ben and Sally to photograph some portraits of them newly married – Sally complete with her walking boots. It was a great privilege to be among their many family and friends and capture their day as it unfolded.
What a wedding weekend! Queens Park to Camden Town Hall to St Pancras to Sheffield for two great evening celebrations. Firstly at Little Mesters and then the following evening at Yellow Arch Studios. Lots of September sunshine, an amazing group of family and friends, the best cat joke ever and a couple that are made for each. Here a few photos that hopefully catch some of all that…..
This was a great wedding. Temperatures in the high 20’s, about 12 people trying to get ready in one room before the ceremony at one point, horses, a lovely church and a great set of family and friends. Not to mention Jason and Miranda and their five ace kids! In the interests of honesty it was a bit more relaxed where Miranda was getting compared to where Jason was getting ready but then again that might have been to do with the glasses of champagne Miranda’s mum was offering to everyone. This was a really special day and hopefully the images below capture something of the story of their day.
It was a great privilege to be asked to do the wedding photography for long standing friend Sophie. She and Gavin seem to be made for each other and just look so happy together. The day went brilliantly and the occasional downpours timed themselves pretty well all things considered. The Inn at Woburn http://www.woburn.co.uk/inn/ offered warm hospitality, excellent food and chance for some photographs on the Woburn Estate. Congratulations Sophie and Gavin.
What a great day at the Peak Edge Hotel for the wedding of Martin and Leanne. Throughout the day we had a mixture of sunshine, grey skies and even snow! Martin and Leanne make a great couple and were evidently surrounded by lovely friends and family. Here are a selection of photos from the big day.
The photographer Tim Clinch (mentioned in my previous post) writes a regular column in a photography magazine and comes across as being a bit grumpy. When we got to meet him at the Black and White Photography Magazine workshop I expected him to be a bit cynical – especially as a seasoned pro who has been taking pictures for forty years. The opposite was true and in his introduction to the portraiture workshop he commented on what a privilege it is to be able to take pictures – not least as you have the opportunity to create something magic and original – potentially every time you pick up your camera! It got me thinking why I am so drawn to photography. For me (as a bit of a romantic) I love to capture a moment or an emotion – maybe in part, in an attempt to cheat time! I also…
