Sarah & Chris’s Wedding at the Old Bridge Hotel, Huntingdon

Monday, October 3rd, 2011

Saturday was apparently the hottest day in October for over a hundred years and I must say, I felt it. I shouldn’t complain though, as Chris was melting in his traditional kilt and jacket, he did look the part though. Sarah wore a beautiful dress that just shone when the light hit it and complimented Chris in his kilt when I shot them on the banks of the River Ouse.

Old Bridge Hotel wedding

Friday, September 30th, 2011

Tomorrows weather looks like it is going to be a real scorcher for the wedding of Sarah and Chris, not bad for October. The happy couple will be tying the knot at the beautiful Old Bridge Hotel set on the banks of the River Ouse near Huntingdon. I’m spoilt for choice background wise at this venue, but I’ll be looking for something a little different tomorrow.

Amanda & Darren’s wedding at Barnsdale Hall, Oakham

Monday, September 26th, 2011

Saturday was a fun and eventful day, which started off with us covering the wedding of Amanda and Darren at Barnsdale Hall in Rutland and ended up with us sat on the A1 with a shredded tyre!! With a great venue and some glorious weather, this was always going to be a wedding to remember. The last few hours on the A1 will soon be forgotten and we’ll be left with some beautiful and intimate images of a fun couple enjoying an amazing day and one I’m proud to have been a part of. I won’t forget the young bridesmaids playing with the reserved sign outside of the church, it started with the words ‘wedding’ but ended up saying ‘funeral’, it did make me laugh.

Audrey and Rees’s wedding at the Duxford Lodge Hotel

Monday, September 19th, 2011

Well Saturdays wedding will be one to remember for a very long time. It was my first wedding at the Duxford Lodge Hotel near Cambridge and what a well run, beautiful hotel it is, perfect for bespoke weddings. Audrey wore a stunning red dress which was complimented by Ree’s red tie and handkerchief. The highlight of the day was the amazing magician that kept the guests entertained whilst enjoying drinks on the lawn.

What a day

Saturday, September 17th, 2011

Todays wedding at Duxford Lodge Hotel will always be one to remember, not only for the fun I had with Audrey and Rees but also for how white I turned when my camera froze and stopped working during the groom shots. Nothing to worry about I hear you say, just use your back up camera. So like a true professional, the back up camera came out of the case, lens changed and shooting continued without anybody even realising there had been a problem. What I didn’t expect was my main lens also seizing ten minutes later!! If this doesn’t highlight why couples should invest in a professional wedding photographer with a full set of back up cameras and lenses, then I don’t know what will. It’s ok getting a family member or friend to capture your big day, but would they have coped with these two major problems, I don’t think so. Anyway, after sorting out my equipment ready to be sent for repair and ordering another camera and lens to give me a back up for next weeks wedding, I have managed to prepare an iconic image from todays wedding. Once I calm down tomorrow, I’ll get a selection of other images posted on the blog.
