The Weddding of Lizzie & Richard

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Venue: Redcoats Farmhouse and Restaurant near Hitchin, Hertfordshire

Lizzie & Richard were married on a stunning day in August. Lizzie had a fabulous dress that reminded me of an outfit Ginger Rogers might wear in the traditional old musical movies from the 40’s or 50’s. I’m so glad they chose me to capture their wedding day. So much care and attention went into all the details and so it was truly lovely to photograph. Redcoats is a great location for those that want some special imagery of their wedding day. It has fantastic traditional rooms with original beams and lovely gardens. Redcoats is also surrounded by beautiful English countryside and it has an amazing barn next door which I couldn’t resist using in some of the wedding photography.

The Wedding of Mark & Sonja

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

I shot Mark & Sonja weddings photographs in London in July. They were married in a catholic church in Putney and they held their wedding reception at Putney Rowing club on the River Thames.  Sonja had a gorgeous wedding dress but I have to say her shoes were just amazing -silver Gucci sequinned  shoes with heels that went on forever. I’m a shoe girl myself and I wasn’t surprised to learn she spent more on her wedding shoes that her dress.

The Wedding Photography of Stuart & Louise

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

Location of Wedding: St Mary’s Parish Church, Amersham, Buckinghamshire. The wedding reception was held in a marquee on the grounds of a large farm in Chesham, Buckinghamshire.

Stuart and Louise were married on an incredible sunny day in July. The sky was so blue with lots white fluffy clouds. It made a fantastic backdrop for the wedding photographs.

Although bright sunny days are what people ideally want for their wedding day if you ask a photographer they will always prefer an overcast day as bright days are incredibly challenging exposure wise. It can be extremely difficult to achieve detail in the sky while exposing correctly for your main subject matter. A professional wedding photographer will always know how to achieve the best results whatever the conditions they find themselves shooting in even if it means taking several different exposures of the same scene. If its not possible to get all the details in the original photograph then I edit my wedding photography in my art-working process to achieve the exact image I am looking for with all the key details that ‘make’ the final image. Each wedding photograph I take goes through a strict quality control process to ensure the photographs are exactly how I want them to be and have my particular artistic style.
