Naturally Lit. No, really!
Nothing looks more natural, than natural light, right? Well, sorta. I often have the idea a beautiful young bride would look great with no more light than whatever’s available from the window. You know, natural like.
Portraits
Location portraits, I love them. This may look like a studio portrait, but it was actually taken in the front room of her house. ok, so I may have a few problems to solve when arriving at the chosen venue, but I find I get images that show more of the subject’s character.
Church Interior – St. leonard’s, Walton-le-Dale
I’m quite torn as to my preference for wedding services. Hotels are great! Most times the bride and groom are staying at the hotel before the service, they’re having the ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception there. Isn’t that wonderful! I don’t have to race from one town to another, to try and beat the limousine to the reception. I’m not going to worry about
Lytham Proms 2010
Lytham Proms 2010 was organised by Passion 4 Events for Cuffe and Taylor, and organised it certainly was! 5,000 guests plus VIPs and headlining guests including Lesley Garrett, Joanne Marie, Chloe Walker, Caroline Hunt, Beverley Alexander and more. And what an evening it turned out to be…..
The Window – Rosehill House Hotel, Burnley – Lancashire
A rather large stained glass window, at the top of the stairs. You just can’t ignore a setting like that, it would be unjust. However, it isn’t that late and it didn’t actually present as subdued as it looks here.
Stretched Limousine
Ever seen inside a stretched limousine? No? Well, neither had I until working on a portfolio for an exclusive wedding venue. Besides a number of bridal portraits in various locations within the venue, there were also a couple of stretched limousines parked outside. Not one to waste an opportunity……….. 🙂
KTM Riding Rough
I was asked to get some images of White Power Suspension products in action during the MotoX des Nations. This proved to be a very enjoyable assignment, as I was also asked to provide images for a couple of magazines and ad agency. So, to actually manage to roll four assignments into one trip was quite a feat. Hmmmm, haven't managed it since though! I
Just one click! – Wedding Photography at the Alma Inn, Laneshawbridge
I’ve been told I’m observant, and I suppose as a photographer, we should excel at observation. This is a good example of an opportunity that arose purely by accident, and was taken on a whim.
Preparation of the Groom
The bride at this wedding didn’t want the usual bridal prep as she was a little camera shy (although she threw herself into the later photo opportunities with some gusto, and rightly so, as she was a beautiful bride). Hmmmm, a wedding album without bridal prep shots. Not something I felt comfortable with, as I felt the album would be incomplete. I certainly wasn’t about
An Umbrella Without Rain
Occasionally, I find myself at a venue with reduced options for my bride and groom portraits. One such venue is the Shireburn Arms at Hurst Green. It’s a great hotel, with extremely helpful staff, but rather small gardens at the rear. It’s basically a narrow strip of grass and small trees that runs alongside their patio. Well, you just have to utilise what you have
