Wedding Cars

My last two weddings have had stunning wedding cars, the photograph below from Lee and Claire’s wedding shows Claire’s mum (Heather) and bridesmaids (Stacey, Pip and Gill) at the side of a beautiful 1934 Sunbeam Twenty Five Six Light in terrific condition from Love and Marriage Carriages of west Norfolk.

At Adam and Sally’s wedding they had a beautiful modern Bentley with an interesting registration.

I think summer has arrived!

It’s been a very busy few weeks with quite a few weddings. The Nikon D2X took a tumble off the tripod at a recent wedding but fortunately Fixation managed to repair it and return it to me within a week so I had it back in time for the next wedding.

I’ve just returned from Norfolk where I had the pleasure of photographing Lee and Claire’s wedding at Weston Park. It was a lovely wedding and everything went without a problem. Claire, her family and friends stayed at the Lenwade Country House Hotel which was a great experience, my room was very nice but the hotel is like a maze so always a challenge to find the room again! The wedding ceremony and reception at Weston Park were wonderful and the rain stopped in the afternoon so we could photograph the groups outside.

Here are a couple of photographs of Lee and Claire:

A busy few weeks

I’ve been very busy recently with quite a lot of commercial photography and personal injury assignments. There’s also been quite a lot of work to complete with the various courses I’m studying which has left very little spare time, luckily the courses come to an end before the busy wedding season.

Rose’s brother Reuben is still in hospital. :-( Zowiann is now out of hospital following her kidney transplant over Christmas. :-)

Yesterday I went to Roath Park in Cardiff to take some photographs of Adam and Sally who are getting married next month. Adam and Sally are having a signing frame at their wedding and wanted a photograph of the two of them for the frame which will be replaced after the wedding with a photograph of them taken on the wedding day.

This is the image they’ve selected for their signing frame.

Congratulations to David and Hannah

Once again I haven’t posted for some time!

My son David became engaged to Hannah on Valentines day, and they called in last night to show me the engagement ring. :-)

I’ve recently been playing with my old Olympus E20 camera, hard to believe that many years ago it was the first digital camera that I used for weddings to master the transition from medium format. The cameras that I’ve used since then are so much faster with a major leap in image quality, pixel count and usability but the Olympus at a mere 5 mega pixels is still quite a capable performer. These two snaps were captured as jpeg images (the Olympus is even slower capturing in RAW format) using the in-built pop up flash. The images have just had a quick adjustment for colour balance, contrast and saturation in Photoshop using the iCorrect Edit Lab Pro plug in and then saved for web. Quite strange once again doing image tweaking in Photoshop as professionally I’ve been using Lightroom for some time. I still use the Olympus now and again as a walk about camera when I want something with a little more control than my point and shoot Fuji F11 which seems to live permanently in my pocket and is a very capable snap shot camera.
Here’s a picture of David and Hannah’s new puppy taken last night.

And here’s a picture of Tiegan taken a couple of weeks ago.

My mum had a new sofa and chair delivered yesterday so I called over to see them this morning, they’re in dark brown leather and look very nice, the leather is also very soft and comfortable. Another trip over there in the morning as the tap in the hand basin in her bathroom is stiff but I didn’t have any tools with me this morning.

Stuart and Rachel’s Wedding

Today we had the pleasure of photographing Stuart and Rachel’s wedding at St Barnabas Church in Penygraig. It was a lovely wedding but unfortunately the rain didn’t let up so there are very few outdoor photographs.

Here’s a photograph of the happy couple.

And here’s their terrific cake from Rhianydd Easton at Dragons and Daffodils.
