Engagement Shoot! Moses and Sabrina in Bristol!

April 22nd, 2010

Finally, something local!

Jessica and myself travel all over the country to shoot weddings, I guess that's just something that you get from being so good looking.
Ah well.

Shooting all over the country does have it's benefits. We've made some new friends and we can stay in contact with old friends too.
But, it tires us out and we can never wait to get back home to our own bed!

Moses and Sabrina are getting married early next month in Thornbury, Bristol. Then on to Caldicot Choir Hall.

Like the majority of my couples, Moses and Sabrina chose to invest in having an engagement shoot around Clifton where Moses popped the question.
You might recognise Sabrina from the Hornby Photoshoot back when it was freezing. You can see the Bristol pictures here and here.

As I'm super busy at the moment (Two weddings this weekend; local too!)...so I won't be inundating you with pictures from their shoot. Enjoy this little collection!

We couldn't believe this sunset when we were shooting next to the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

Hope you enjoyed

Engagement Shoot! Ed and Lucy in Bath

April 19th, 2010

Brilliant!

This couple here are Ed and his lady, Lucy and they follow my unusual strain of couples who are so amazing.

Ed and Lucy are getting married in Aberystwyth later this year and want Jessica and myself to cover their wedding and I honestly can't wait!
When we met up at Boston Tea Party, which is my favorite coffee house, we had a general chit chat about what's going on and about how their plans have been coming along.
They really surprised me when they asked me if Jessica and myself would like to join them on the beach the morning after their wedding for a paddle. We are so there!!

These two are the loveliest couple around and we had loads of fun shooting in Bath. (Bath, the city where you can shoot with your lens cap on and still get beautiful shots)

Enjoy!

We were blessed with amazing light!

See?! I'm hilarious!

Such a gentle couple...

Looking at this image now, I really wish I photoshopped that car out on the left! So annoying!

Lucy is leaning against the glass wall of the Bath Thermae Spa which Jessica and myself have been to and it is A-MAZ-ING!

Lucy and Ed really spoilt me! They were the perfect couple to shoot!

And Lucy has such great eyes!

I shot through the heads of a night time tour of Bath, I love the feel of this image!

And finally...

Ed and Lucy, honestly, you really spoiled me, I really loved being in your company and when it comes to your wedding, I just can't wait!

Thanks for reading.

Wedding! Adam and Lorna nr. Dudley

April 15th, 2010

Saturday the 3rd of this month saw Adam and Lorna get married, just outside Dudley.

As I mentioned in my last post I met up with Lorna and Adam just a couple of weeks before the wedding and really took a shine to them; they're a wonderful couple! Guests and friends will know just how awesome these two are.

In fact I was talking with another couple who are equally awesome... (I will blog about them soon, you'll love them)...I was explaining that as the majority of my couples are very similar, I'd love to arrange some kind of shindig/rave/tea party.
Of course, this won't happen, it'll be a little weird.
But naturally, Adam and Lorna would be there swapping hilarious and flattering anecdotes about their photographer! I'd be presented with an expensive bottle of single malt and then be asked to give a speech.
I'm joking of course...but seriously...

I met up with Lorna at her parents house which was a 2 minute walk to the church where she'd be marrying Adam.
After the ceremony, Adam and Lorna joined their lovely guests at the family run Dunsley Hall in Kinver where they were greeted by the wonderful and accommodating staff.

Adam and Lorna, thank you so much for making me feel welcome throughout the whole day. I enjoyed every part of your wedding and I could tell that you and your guests did too.
Enjoy the pictures and as usual, share, tweet and comment.

Stuart, Lorna's brother refused to see Lorna in her wedding dress before the ceremony.

Mum gets to see Lorna. Wonderful moment.

Lorna's mum had Orchids everywhere. Everywhere!!

Lorna's Nan, Ivy was all up for seeing Lorna before the ceremony, I don't think Lorna had much say in the matter!

Here she is!

Here's the Groom. I don't want to say that he was running late, but...

A small selection of Adam's important men.

I also find hymn books hilarious.

Nervous much Adam?

"Adam was how late?!?"

Unfortunately, we were allowed to take very few images during the ceremony, so make sure you watch the flipbook version of Adam and Lorna's wedding here.

No more kisses for you Mister!

Let the congratulatory kissing commence!

I'm very fond of this funny little shot.

And then on to Dunsley Hall in Kinver, and personally greeted by the manager and general nice-guy, Wilf.

I almost feel like I don't even need to tell you this, but here is "The Heckler".
He did a great job of contributing to the speeches...and calling me Harry Potter.
Look at those eyes, you can see his brain working and trying to find a way of making me crack.

Speeches time. Lorna's Dad's speech was very special.

Hi Adam!

After lulling the guests into a false sense of security with childhood stories about paper aeroplanes with matches selotaped to them, Joe, Adam's Best Man, proceeded to individually and thoroughly mock all the other ushers using a pointy device. No need for that at all. But it was hilarious!

This has been added to my growing pile of "Favorite pictures"

I love Adam's Dad's laugh! This picture makes me feel good!

All in good spirits of course...

And here is the beautiful Bride.

I think Lorna's eyes are incredible in this picture. A super cool couple.

Lorna runs back to the party, rocking the shoes that her mum got married in 35 years ago.

And why not hey?

Lovely stuff!
I loved shooting your wedding Lorna and Adam, and I really enjoyed editing and blogging too.
You both made Jessica and myself feel so welcome and we really appreciated it!
Thank you also to the staff at Dunsley Hall in Kinver, you were excellent!
Also, you might notice that there are none of my usual grammatical mistakes in this post and Mr Phill Allen is to thank for that!
