Olympic Torch relay Swindon

Posted on May 23, 2012 by

Today the Olympic torch relay passed through Swindon on its way across the UK to London. Crowds lined the street to see the Olympic flame on what must be the hottest day of the year so far.

Brick Lane – London engagement shoot

Posted on May 21, 2012 by

We took a trip up The Smoke recently to shoot Matt and Zoe. They looked through 200 photographers before deciding that I was perfect for them. It’s quite a thing to be picked from such a long list so I’m amazingly grateful for their perseverance. Engagement shoots are all about the couple so off we went up to London. Wedding photography is such a joy when you have great clients and Zoe and Matt are just that.

Zoe is a street photographer so loves the area around Brick Lane and Shoreditch because of the street art. The weather was on our side and we headed out from Liverpool Street Station into the heart of graffiti land. The area around Shoreditch and Brick Lane reminds me of Bristol which is much closer to home for me and just as vibrant and full of Banksy.

I’m really looking forward to the wedding in Salisbury next month it should be a real contrast to the engagement photography in London, being at a manor house out in the country. Can’t wait.

Andrew and Shannon at Abbey House Gardens

Posted on May 18, 2012 by

I’ve wanted a wedding at Abbey House Gardens ever since I met Donna their lovely wedding co-ordinator at Malmesbury wedding fair last year. The place is absolutely gorgeous. Abbey house Gardens is set in 5 acres of beautifully kept grounds and is one of the most stunning locations in Wiltshire for wedding photography.

Andrew and Shannon met with us at this year’s North Wiltshire Wedding Fair. I was delighted when they chose me as their wedding photographer. I always include an engagement shoot as part of the wedding photography package. It’s really important to get to know the bride and groom and put them at ease for their wedding day. It’s also important that they get to know me as your wedding photographer is the only person that is with you for the whole day so it’s vital that you get along with them. A really great wedding photographer knows this is and there for far more than just the photography. We also keep a handy supply of tissues and other wedding survival essentials.

We were lucky with the weather, it was a glorious day and the gardens were beautiful. I’m really looking forward to their wedding next month.

Groom’s day at the tailor

Posted on April 24, 2012 by

The first thing that David asked me when we first met at Malmesbury wedding fayre was if I would shoot him having his suit fitted. I said that I would, of course, it sounded a lot of fun and unusual. I met up with David and Matt, his best man, recently at the tailor in Cirencester for some male bonding and cloth pinning.

I shot David and his fiancee Jules back in October

Nina

Posted on April 20, 2012 by

Nina was great fun to shoot. She was a real character. We started with running and jumping, I let her take some pictures herself so she could see what happened and then we went into the woods and had to act out Little Red Riding Hood exactly as it is in Nina’s book.

Sarah, Lee, Jay and Toby

Posted on April 13, 2012 by

Here’s a fabulous shoot with Sarah, Lee, Jay and Toby. We started with some lunch followed with photography at the house before heading off to the woods. Believe it or not this was spring but I think we were a little early for things to be bursting into green. It was great fun and Jay was on form running climbing trees and taking a few pictures himself.

We shot until the sun went down and gave us some gorgeous light. Once it had disappeared behind the trees it was time for Jay to blast everyone with the flash before we headed back to the cars.

I’m delighted to say that everyone loved the photos and it’s always a pleasure to make people happy.

Part 1
Part 2

After we had completed the first bridal hair designs, Vanda, Becky and the team went wild and created some fabulous and funky hair and make up. We had a punky look with Amy sporting a lampshade and a wild spiky backcombed do. Laura went Edwardian with added dolls furniture and Sarah was given a rockabilly jubilympic (That’s Jubilee meets Olympics) quiff. Very British. Very 2012.
