The pretty wedding details ...

I hope you enjoyed the peek at the latest wedding I was privileged to attend & photograph - it is so special as an Elective Home Education tutor to work with pupils & their families over a long time; you form a friendship & get to know the extended families well because you see them all.

I want to share with you the little details I love photographing - it is the little things which make the difference to how it all comes together. Their Mum Linda just has an eye for detail & she planned everything so very well ...

Bridesmaids jewellery

Fresh flowers for the little bridesmaids hair ... 

Spot the gorgeous engagement ring ...

The beautiful shoes, garter & flowers

The Groom’s cute little brother with his sign ...

 The local church where both girls have married - it is a stunning with a vaulted ceiling & a domed high altar with a blue ceiling - quite beautiful. It is also a long way to the back for the photographers to work from ...

The welcoming sign is a lovely touch on the part of the Church - it sets the tone of the day

I love this local church, the detail & space is so impressive

Little details on the pew ends

Flowers, pearls & lamps on the font ...

The stunning local church with the car leaving ...

Of course the day is all about the Bride & her choice of dress. This one was so special - a beautiful dress with a satin & lace overlay jacket for the church event with a stunning tiara, veil & train ...

Shania with her lovely sister Nicole & little NN

Nicole was a very attentive Bridesmaid / Maid of Honor - I loved how she took care of all the details in making sure her sister was perfectly comfortable & dressed. She reminded me of Kate Middleton’s sister at her wedding ...

The dress had a fairy tale quality about it with the lovely shape & details. I loved the satin collar on the jacket - classic & elegant for the religious part of the day. 

When they arrived at the reception, the lace & satin overcoat was removed & a gorgeous beaded belt was hooked on to the dress to transform it in to a stunning evening gown.

Attaching the stunning belt to bling up the dress for the reception. The dress had satin loops on the waist so that the belt could be attached securely ...

Sister in attendance doing a fabulous job of supporting her younger sister ...

A very well designed dress which was perfect & which transformed for the evening reception; so much so that some thought there had been a change of dress ...

An absolutely stunning dress which suited the bride so well

Lovely details made the dress so special ...

How lovely it looked on the dance floor. swirling as she twirled around ...

One dress, two very elegant looks - a great choice for a stunning bride.

Photographing a gorgeous Shropshire wedding

Hi everyone

It is no secret that I love taking photos, it is my version of the arts & I think of myself as an ‘enthusiastic amateur’ who enjoys capturing the moment through whatever camera I have, be it a phone, a compact Sony handbag camera or my large Canon5D Mk3 with a variety of lenses.

I have only done wedding photos as a gift to a few people -

Photographing a beautiful wedding at Ironbridge 

Photographing a beautiful Shropshire Wedding 

A fairytale wedding 

My photography style leans heavily towards photo journalism - capturing the moment as it happens rather than formal shots.

I am a fan of steve mccurry with his iconic images, joe bussing & the Birmingham photographer steve gerrard - they inspire me to be a better photographer.

I photographed an ex students older sisters wedding three years ago - this was her preparatory visit to meet her groom & to visit the church to get an idea of the lighting there.

This was Nicole’s & Nathan's fairytale wedding 

When Shania’s Mum asked me if I would do her younger daughters wedding, I was flattered to be entrusted with it again.

The same church was to be used but experience told me that we would once again have the ‘not closer than the back row’ during the service issue so I borrowed hubbies long lens to be able to capture it. Using an unfamiliar lens has its challenges - I had to spend a lot of time getting to know it & to adjust the camera settings so that they worked together. The sturdy tripod is needed for this one as it has to be really still to work best ...

Youngest daughter Stacy agreed to help out as another camera was needed so that we could capture different angles with various lenses in the church & outdoors. The church is just so lovely & is one I am familiar with but I gladly accompanied them to their rehearsal for our planning ...

The lovely priest Leigh talking the couple through the ceremony ...

Such a lovely relaxed couple ... 

The wedding morning was light & bright - a relief, but the umbrellas went in to the car just in case & we were off to the Bride’s Mums home to start our working day ... the hair & make-up were in full swing when we arrived ... 

Catching up with the older sister & her gorgeous little one that I see from time to time ...

 How lovely is this tiara in her hair ...

 Being there to capture the dressing ...

then off to the church to set up our camera’s & to await the bride & her entourage ...

These images all have a popular ‘action’ on them as that is a common request. The originals are all natural. 

I have taught all these 3 siblings as elective home education students - brilliant to see them all together ... 

Pure love - capturing these special moments are my preferred photography style ..

The lovely bridal group as they left the church - aren’t these little ones sweet? 

Such a gorgeous wedding group ...

Sisters who are also very close

Mum & her lovely daughters

Perfect

A spectacular cake ...

Cuties first dance ... 

The bridal couple are sunning themselves in Jamaica so I am only sharing the ones they have shared so I don’t steal their thunder ...

We used:

Canon 5D Mk 3 with EF 24-105mm f/41 lens

Canon 5D Mk 4 with EF 24-70 lens

EF 100 - 400 lens (for the church), used with a tripod

Canon Speedlight 580EX 11 flash
