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 ...
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
Catching up at the reception with Nicole
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
