The image just below is my favourite from the last couple of months. There is nothing exceptional about it, it’s just a nice spontaneous moment snapped when the couple were goofing around between the bridal party shots. It’s real and it’s fun and that’s why I like it. It’s typical of what I love to shoot and the couples that book me want to see images like this more and more.

It’s hard to believe we are in to the month of May already. This is my favourite click of the year so far. I wouldn’t be a particular fan of this church from a photography point of view. Like so many of the modern churches, the quality of the lighting overall is pretty poor. Mixing in the natural light coming in from the top improves things no end. The lines on the ceiling lead your eye to the couple and the spotlights give a bit of sparkle. I think the combination of these elements in the shot sets the scene beautifully:

There is a lot of talk among professional wedding photography ranks about converging medias such as video and stills. There is some very creative work being done in the US on this at the moment but it’s difficult to merge the two without giving up at least some of the qualities of either one.

Photojournalists have been doing it for years but they have given more emphasis to sound and stills than video. Sound especially is used very effectively to get their message across and to help flesh out the story (see www.mediastorm.com or www.edkashi.com for some of the best of this). I’ve been dabbling with sound myself recently on some personal projects. I’ve had very little time for those over the Summer due to weddings, so I decided to do some recording on a wedding instead. I’m not yet convinced that this is a product for the weddings market but the feedback has been very strong, so maybe at some stage down the line I will consider offering something along these lines.

Meg and Matt were my willing guinea pigs for this experiment. It was a very special ceremony with a great couple, so turn on your speakers to hear the results. Feedback welcome!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything but Summer for Photographers is like Christmas for the Elves…

Here is a little show with some of my own favourites from the past few months:

It’s hard to believe we are in to the month of May already. I haven’t posted any wedding work yet this year, so here is a selection of my favourites up to the end of April. Just press play to run the show and click on the arrows to view in full screen.

I’ve been a bit slow in posting images lately but it’s tricky to keep up with everything sometimes with so much going on. It’s good sometimes to look back and review how you are doing. Here’s a selection from the last two months that I really like:

Thanks!
