Katie and Eoin - Wedding - 12th June

Kate and Eoin were married on 12th June at St Mary The Virgin in Clifton Reynes, Bucks.

With over 100 guests the church was filled to capacity and after the service everyone attended the wedding breakfast at Katies parents home in a lovely marquee in the garden.

Here is a flavour of the day.

Chasing Johd !!!!

Why the reason for the title?

Well if you have ever tried photographing a toddler on location thats what you end up doing 90% of the time.

The secret to childrens portraits on location is to treat it as just a day out, let them do their own thing but at the same time guiding them into the best light etc to achieve the results you want.

We had a great time with Johd and his Mum and Dad on Saturday. The weather was glorious and he loved walking in the woods and seeing the ducks at the pond. Although he did give us a few scary moments near the water.

Here are a few pictures from the session.

Location Child Photography - Tutorial Day

Yesterday I had a fellow photographer Kim Shaw visit as she wanted some pointers on Location lighting and also Lightroom work.

I arranged 2 little models Mia and Scarlett and also Donna their mother to pose for us.

We shot all morning at a local wood and pond and the girls were absolute stars.

Here are a few shots from the session.


Most of the shots were taken in the shade of the trees, giving a very soft directional light.



The shot below shows how the image above was lit. Purely by holding a reflector (held by Mum in this case) over Mia stopping the uneven dappled lighting.





The above shot was taken into the sun using a reflector to bounce light onto the subjects.








The final shot of Mum on her own, this time we used a flashgun shot through a white brolly to balance with the daylight behind.

If you would like a location session like this please call the studio 01604 416005
