SHROPSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

It was a cold but dry day for Kate & Tim’s wedding photography at Delbury Hall in Shropshire, as much as you could hope for in January. The weather may have been cold, but without sounding to cheesy, there was a warm & loving atmosphere through out the day and plenty of emotion. I was a bit disappointed in Tim (the Groom) chasing birds on his wedding day, it was a first for me to see and I managed to capture it on film (sensor) for all to see and below is the evidence. Seriously though we had lots of fun with Kate & Tim, they make a great couple and we wish them all the best for the future.

NESTON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

We were on a tight schedule and had 10 minutes to take Ellie and Tom to Parkgate to get shots of them alone. The sun was falling from the sky at a rate of knots and we still had group shots to photograph. Take the easy option, no, not Concept Wedding. We thought we do some contre jour shots, translated it means “into the light”. Shooting into the sun is a technique that would send shivers down the spine of most photographers with such a short time frame. But Ellie and Tom were so easy to work with we knew we could get some stunning images of them and the DB6.

MOONLIGHT WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT INGLEWOOD MANOR

Zoe & Matthew had 5 minutes to spare before the first dance, the moon was out, I had a wireless trigger for off camera flash, an umberella and a fantastic assistant. Add to this imagination and vision and this is what we come up with. Stunning if I may say so myself.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT INGLEWOOD MANOR

I have been that busy photographing and editing weddings I just haven’t had the chance to blog. Over the next month I will be able to catch up on the blogging front. I just couldn’t resist this blog. Below is a photograph from Zoe and Matthew’s wedding at Inglewood Manor on the Wirral. I think they thought I was a little Mad when I took them into a run down out building by the tennis courts at Inglewood Manor, especially since Inglewood has so many fantastic spots for photography. I thinkk this shot is going to be one of my favorites for while.

Queen Hotel Chester Wedding Photography

There is now doubt the Queen Hotel Chester is a fantastic location for a wedding.  As a photographer it has other benefits as well as the stunning interiors, it is a stones throw away from Chester Railway Station and 5 minutes from Chester Park. The railway station is a great location for some quirky wedding shots and I know just the tree in Chester Park for some breath taking images , I have even used it to shoot an album cover there. The shot below and many more took less than 45 minutes, you don’t have to give a lot of precious time on your wedding day to get stunning photographs, just take a look.

Portmeirion Wedding Photography

Portmeirion, North Wales, Wedding Photography by Concept Wedding

Portmeirion, the Italian village on the North Wales coast near Porthmadog is a fantastic location for a wedding and the photography. The hotel interior is beautifully designed and finished and the views are exceptional to say the least. Just look at the view outside the Peacock Suite window in the photograph of the flowers. I will remember Carole & Brian’s wedding day for the laughter and stunning location. There are just too many stunning locations and laughter to include in this blog, especially since I wanted to include Carole’s Mum wardrobe malfunction (her shoes) and one of the guests tripping as she arrived.

Landscape Photographer of the Year 2011

Good news today, I was informed I had been short listed for Landscape Photographer of the Year 2011. Nice title and a nice £10,000 to go with it, here’s hoping. Living the view was the title of the brief. Two of my images short listed certainly show life in the landscape, in fact they could be showing life being created in the landscape.

Northop Hall Wedding Photography

We couldn’t have asked for better weather for Kaye & Rich at Northop Hall on Saturday. All the children loved it, little Sasha finds a heart shaped piece of confetti and seems to contemplates love (how cute) , Ted and Josh on the swing think its all about them and it is, the pressure gets to Liv and he hits the bottle and Kaye looks stunning in the broken sun light as does Rich. Just a few shots that tell the story of the day with lots more to follow. Have a great honeymoon.

North Wales Wedding Photography

We have a wedding photography shoot at Northop Hall tomorrow but meanwhile I thought I would catch up on some editing. We had great fun with Katie and Steve, but this shot is of Steve and his Best Man. The idea of this shot was to look cool whilst jumping of hay bales, sorry Steve you just didn’t look cool, but it is a great shot of you both.

Cat Photography in North Wales

I very rarely photograph cats, even though I have 4 of them. What tends to happen when your a full time photographer is when you finish work you put your camera away and don’t pick it up again until your next commission, which in my case is usually the next day. On this occasion I didn’t,  instead I followed our cats around the back garden (dyserth mountain) snapping away, shouting at them to pose beautifully, which of course they took no notice of, why would they, their cats. A good exercise in patience I thought, I haven’t spoken to the wife’s cats since. Notice how they started out as our cats but finished as the wife’s cats.
