Lily and Mark’s Wedding
Another winter wedding for us in December 2011– we actually had 3 that month! Despite the obvious challenges with light we really enjoy shooting winter weddings– they have a warmth and an energy all of their own, and we’d like to think we’re getting pretty good at capturing them (modesty aside!) Lily and Mark’s wedding was only a week before Christmas Day, and it was full of the seasonal spirit. Lily and Mark are a very talented couple.… Rather than the traditional first dance this couple took to the stage to give us a rendition of ‘Fever’, with Lily on vocals and Mark on lead guitar. It was yet another example of a couple injecting their unique personalities into their wedding day, which we really love to see! We hope you enjoy the images! We don’t normally do a ‘plug’ on our blog but if you would like to book us for a winter wedding (November to February) you will receive a 15% discount on our standard package prices.
Andrew & Louise’s Wedding
At the beginning of September we were lucky enough to cover the wedding of Andrew & Louise at the lovely Farnham House Hotel in Surrey (on the borders of Hampshire). This is the second time we’ve covered a wedding there and it’s a great venue to work at, as the staff bend over backwards to help out. The wedding included both a civil ceremony as well as Jewish ceremony, and we were made to feel very welcome by both families– thanks Andrew & Louise!
Fun Group Shots
Group shots are boring right? Wrong! Actually if you take your time with them they can be really good fun, creative and (sometimes) dead funny! We took this group shot at Matt and Jo’s recent wedding, which had an eclectic mix of influences, from 1920’s elegance to Hollywood inspired Americana and a dose of American Football thrown in as well. As well as being a wonderfully individual wedding we were very fortunate to work with such a lovely, fun bunch of people. Sometimes, this is just the best job in the world! You get to indulge your creativity and have a whole lot of fun in the process. Watch this space for more shots from this fab wedding.
Family Photoshoot — Essex
We had so much fun on this family portrait shoot, and Rob, Ling and Hayden were great fun to work with. I’ve known Rob for a couple of years now and we were delighted to meet his wife Ling and their son Hayden. I should of course mention little Smig the dog, who had more energy than a nuclear power station! This lifestyle shot took place at Weald Park near Brentwood in Essex, and it provided us with some great locations to work with. I hope you like the pics!
Fabricio & Maiko Part 2
Following the wonderful picnic and portrait session in Richmond Park, we decided to take Fabricio and Maiko down to the riverside to get some more portraits whilst the light was fading. You get a beautiful ‘warm’ light at this time of day which is perfect for romantic portraits, and Fabricio were brilliant to work with. I just love the images that Brenda took of Fabricio and Maiko ‘framed’ by the arch of the bridge.
We then had a brief 30 minutes break for a sandwich (even photographers need to refuel) before meeting our lovely couple at the Rodizio Rico Brazilian restaurant in Fulham. They were joined by more friends at this stage and they had a truly wonderful evening meal. I must admit, the food looked dead tasty.
All in all this was a really wonderful wedding– very warm, intimate and personal, and without a doubt one of our favourite weddings of 2011.
