Things to come…

Tuesday, August 31, 2010 Posted in Recent Posts, Weddings

As you may have noticed I’ve not been posting as much as I would’ve like to over the last few weeks. I really am bursting to show you some of the pictures from some recent weddings, but we’re right in the middle of the busiest time of the year, my focus has been drawn away from blogging, and on to more pressing matters.

I would like to give you a quick sample of some of the moments I’ve been able to witness over the last few months. I’ll do my best to get the full posts out as soon as I can, for now here are a couple of shots from the south of France, the Isle of Man, Middlesbrough and Chester.

Simple is Beautiful…

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 Posted in Information, Recent Posts, Weddings

We’ve tried really hard to create a photography service that is all about you and your pictures. We found with our wedding there were soo many hidden costs that it was hard to keep track of the budget. We wanted people to be able to save up and set aside some money for photography, and then forget about it… so it’s one less thing to worry about.

I’ve spent well over 2 years now rooting through loads of albums, and album companies, to find what I wanted. They needed to be among the best quality in the world, look amazing, reflect the feel of the wedding and couple, simple, beautiful, hand made, leather, last for YEARS… and last of all I’d have to want one as well (and I really want one of these!!).

Well a simple wedding photography package needs simple and elegant Albums. I’ve already created a post about our Fine Art Albums, and from an amazing company called KISS here is the alternative choice:

Adam - Is it sad that we get really excited when we see our photos on your promotional material???

Tom - Not at all! I’m really happy that you do! Becky would be happy to see our pictures on any material ;o) When I get our pictures processed I’m going to have to post them here.

Sam&Laura

Wednesday, August 4, 2010 Posted in Recent Posts, Weddings

I’m really starting to love weddings on the coast, even when the weather is raining and all the guests are worried about sinking into the grass with their heels, while the coastal wind takes their hats away. I love traveling around to all parts of the country to new locations, it helps me to see the wedding for the unique thing it is, without being tempted to fall into the trap of “oh this picture worked well on the stars last week, I’ll try it again…”

Sam and Laura were married down on the South coast, and the weather lived up to expectations. We had the light showers of rain, and some sun… but it didn’t effect the day at all. Sam and Laura work so well together, and it was a pleasure to be able to be there and witness their day unfold.

As always, here are a few of my favourites, in no particular order:

Emma Davenport - Brilliant fly-on-the-wall bridal preps and I love the black-and-white couple series. “Quirky classic” and super fun!

Everyone has to put up a holiday post at some point in the year, so this is my Turkey post from a few weeks ago. It was pretty cool! Great company, scenery and VERY hot weather. The only downsides were the HUGE and I mean HUGE delays going there and back thanks to Thomas Cook) I think the icing on the cake was being in the duty free area of Manchester Airport with little more than an angry Dixon’s assistant, who didn’t want us passing the time on their ipad… next time I’m taking my iphone!

Well anyway, with these entries I usually like to just let you look through the pictures and hope they speak for themselves… but some might need a bit of explaining this time. So there are a few captions under some of the pictures.

All the pictures were taken with either a Canon IXUS 70, or a 5D… points for the people who can guess which is which)

So, here they are:

On the way up to the paragliding launch pad (which was almost 7000 foot!) the jeep broke down and we caught a lift with the other companies passing by…

Becky took this from the top. It’s all paved and is the highest commercial launch site in the world… I think.

Another Becky picture on the way down!

This guy only had the neck brace on at night when the streets were full… hmmmm

There are a few boys around the streets at night that ask for 1TL to weigh you… The guy at the beanbag place was pretty adamant that they were from good homes with lazy parents)
