Ian & Katie’s Wedding at Miskin Manor

On Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing Ian and Katie’s wedding at Miskin Manor, Katie’s dress was absolutely lovely. I have photographed many weddings at Miskin Manor and it is a lovely venue that offers a lot of variety for locations with lovely well managed grounds but unfortunately on Sunday the rain didn’t stop so we were unable to take any outdoor photographs. To record the group photographs I set up a small battery powered flash with an umbrella, mounted on a portable light stand with a little additional flash bounced off the ceiling from my on-camera unit balancing the flash and ambient exposures. This enabled me to take the group photographs without the distracting shadows that on-camera flash alone would have produced.

On Saturday I photographed Layton and Vicky’s wedding at De Courcey’s, it was a lovely day and the weather was dry and fine.

I uploaded their wedding gallery on Sunday morning and they sent me an email to say they love the photographs. 🙂

Additional album options

I’m pleased to be able to announce that one of our most popular albums, the Madrid is now available with up to 25 pages (50 sides) but there’s even more good news. The Madrid in addition to the 10×10 inch size is now also available in both a larger 12×12 inch size and a smaller 8×8 inch size which is ideal for parent albums.

Still busy!

The computer upgrade has gone very well, it’s really nice to be designing wedding albums on a very fast computer.

I’ve recently completed the album design for John and Amanda and I’ve sent all the pages to be printed by the lab.

I’ve recently introduced a new ‘Wedding Box’ which can be used either as an option within the ‘Mix & Match’ wedding coverage, as an additional item or replacement for a wedding album or alternatively in place of a proof book.

What lovely weather!

It’s been quite a while since I last posted on the blog, I’ve just been very busy, so here’s a quick update.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing John and Amanda’s wedding at St Pierre, Chepstow, it was a lovely day and only the second no rain wedding this year!

Here are a few images from the wedding.

John & Amanda

I’ve also been making up a lot of albums, I completed three Jorgensen E series albums and two Madison albums this week and they’ve all been collected or sent out.

I also have quite a busy week ahead, Welsh class today and a Welsh Region MPA committee meeting in Narberth this evening. I recently completed a teaching certificate and I’m attending a presentation evening later this week and still more albums to make up.

Today we had the pleasure of attending Scott and Alena’s wedding at Castell Coch followed by the reception and evening party at Bryngarw House. It was a lovely day and despite the rain after the ceremony we’ve captured some lovely images here are a few.

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:

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.

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.
