As a professional people spotter one of my favourite things to do is spot mannerisms. They can tell you so much about a person or group of people. One of the things I like to take photographs of at weddings is hands. Yes, I take photos of hands at weddings. Hands are so expressive and…
Another cracker of an image from Natalie and Ramzi’s destination wedding in Beirut. I love how excited some people become over the bouquet toss. Seriously, it can get pretty competitive out there! I also love this image and it really captures the party atmosphere of their wedding day. The dance floor was packed all night. At no…
It’s time to catch up with the blog! Sorry for the absence. I’ve been travelling quite a bit recently and trying to squeeze in all of the things you have to keep on top of them ‘running a business.’ If you are on instagram then I’m doing my level best to show my recent work there on a fairly…
Here is another black and white wedding photo from Louisa and Jez’s Surrey wedding. On the right, looking back, you can see Amy, another one of ‘my brides’ whose wedding I photographed. I love the sheer joy in this image. The moment the bride and groom walk down the aisle exit, and celebrate with everyone is…
This is one of my favourite wedding photos from Nello and Hannah’s Hampton Court Palace wedding. Hannah is sitting in her parent’s bedroom, her mum and friend are getting the veil ready. The lighting from the window is incredible. It illuminates Hannah, the incredible detail on her dress and also the veil. There’s plenty of shadow…
This weeks black and white Monday image comes to you from Rachel and Alex’s wedding in Norfolk. They had a beautiful winter wedding set in the countryside and this image is one of my favourites. I love a sparkler shot! The look GREAT! They are a bit of a technical challenge (think extremely bright small…
Next up for black and white wedding photography Monday is this image taken at Jennie and Rich’s wedding. This shot is of Jennie (at the bottom) and her bridesmaids taking the stairs down to the wedding ceremony. What I love about being a wedding photographer in Bristol is that you get to discover all sorts of different places in…
It’s black and white wedding photography time – and this photograph is one of Sam her wedding to Ross at Gate Street Barn. It was definitely one of the highlights of 2015 and I thought I would pick an image that stood out to me. Now normally, I’m not a huge fan of ‘the garter shot.’ It kinda reminds me…
It’s Monday – another shot from my series of black and white wedding photography. This is a shot from Sammy and Matthew’s wedding at Coombe Lodge. I love going to this wedding venue. It’s about 25 mins from my home and because the grounds are so big there are lots of unique opportunities for couple photos. This…
The speeches are without doubt one of my favourite times of the wedding day. A lot of people are less keen, and sometimes I’ll admit they can go on – but for the most part they are like a Pixar movie – something for everyone! Today’s photo is from Louisa and Jez’s wedding in Surrey. A flipping’ amazing…
So, for fun, and for as long as it lasts, I’m going to write a series called ‘black and white Mondays.’ For anyone who knows my work, I’d imagine they’d instantly think of it as being colourful. I see weddings as laugh out loud and smile to your face hurts occasions. Sure, things can get emotional –…
