Busy Weekend

This weekend was extremely busy.

First off on Friday we photographed Louise and Matthews wedding which was held at The Orangery Whittlebury Park.

The weather was glorious with bright sunshine through the day with the exception of a short cloud burst later on. But that was no problem as the couple were sitting down to their meal by then.

Matthew arrived in style to the venue in a flash Audi R8 much to the delight of Louise who is a Motorsport and F1 fan,

Heres a short video





The second wedding of the weekend was Gareth and Stacey.

This couple were great !!! Always up for a laugh and willing to go the extra mile for some stunning images.

They were married at Hellidon Lakes near Daventry.

Ted and Theresa's Wedding Broomhills Northampton

On Saturday it was the turn of Ted and Theresa.

The day started off at the couples home for a few shots. I tried out the new video lights I had purchased a few weeks ago and they are fantastic. They give a lovely warm glow.

The service was held at the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Barrack Rd Northampton. I love photographing Roman Catholic weddings as normally the priest allows us to photograph during the service ( which is a very important part!!!!) and this was no exception as some great images were captured.

After the service it was off to Broomhills Hotel in Spratton.

The couple were great !!!!!!!!!!! We even managed some Trash The Dress style shots in the grounds.

Here is a short clip of the wedding

Model Shoot - Jess

Well the weather was kind to us on Tuesday evening as we photographed Jess.

Jess was a bridesmaid at her sisters wedding that we photographed a few weeks ago and kindly offered to do some modelling for our new website which will be launched shortly.

Jess was a natural as we shot in various locations around Northampton, she even got some admiring comments from a few lads at sixfields !!!!!!!! But thats another story.

Here is a short slide show of some of the images.

News

Well, Its hard to believe we are over halfway through July already.

The weddings are now in full swing with at least 1 wedding to photograph each week until the middle of October. This year has been fantastic and we also have some weekends where we are photographing weddings on Fridays and Sundays as well.

New Blog

In the next week or so I hope to have a brand new Blog up and running dedicated to our Trash The Dress and Model sessions, these are becoming so popular so I thought a seperate site was needed.

The name has been registered we just need a little time to get the images together.

I even booked a Wedding this week for next year and the Bride wants a Trash The Dress session on her Horse sometime after the wedding so that will be fun.

Model Shoot

Weather permitting I have a Model Shoot booked for Tuesday evening with Jess.

Jess was a Bridesmaid at a wedding I photographed recently and she kindly offered to help us out, so watch for the images soon.

Mel and Will Pre Wedding Shoot

In a couple of months time we are photographing Mel and Wills Wedding.
This evening we were at Delapre Abbey in Northampton for their Pre Wedding Shoot.

Heres the results.

Laura and Craigs Wedding Saturday 12th July

Laura and Craig were married at Great Oakley this weekend.

They are a gorgeous couple, we shot so many images it has been difficult choosing which ones to blog.

Here are a few of my favourites.

Gareth and Stacey Pre Wedding Shoot

Gareth and Stacey are to be married at Hellidon Lakes in a few weeks time.

We visited the venue last week for the Pre Wedding shoot and had a blast.

Here are the images.

Latest Weddings

We have had a fantastic start to the wedding season with some gorgeous Brides and Handsome Grooms.

We have also had a lot of fun creating the images.

Here is a slide show of a small selection of our favourites so far.................

Trash The Dress - Part Two

Last night we were out and about with "the dress" again.

This is Donna , who kindly modelled for us.

Donna was introduced by a Jonathan of Hardings Bridal Cars in Northampton.

We are now looking for a model for the final session with this dress which we hope is going to be completely different.

Call us or contact us through the website if you would like to be our next Trash The Dress Model.










Once again many thanks to Donna for modelling and also Jonathan for the loan of his workshop.

Heres his website www.hardingsbridalcars.com

Male Model Shoot

Friday morning we were out and about in Kettering shooting some images for a new website we will be launching soon.

We were after an Urban Grungey look to the shots.

This is what we came up with.

Trash The Dress Northampton

Wednesday night we were out and about in Northampton shooting our very first Trash The Dress session.

Trash The Dress isnt extreme as it sounds, we dont literally "Trash The Dress" it means we visit various locations not normally associated with everyday wedding photography and produce some stunning fashion oriented images.

If you still have your dress and would like to wear it again and have some wonderful and different images taken give us a call.

Many thanks to Zoe , we had great fun during the shoot.

Competition Win !!!

Yesterday I had the great honour to travel down to Uxbridge to collect a prize I had won.

I entered a competition through The Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers to win a Canon 5D kit worth 2500 pounds and I was the lucky winner.

Here I am accepting my prize from Phil Jones CEO and Director Juliet Jones of the SWPP.

I am so grateful to the SWPP for the prize and I shall put it to good use.

Also during the day I attended a seminar on Wedding photography by top Australian photographer Ryan Schembri. Ryan is only 24 years old but is producing some fantastic images.
