Professional Wedding Photography

Why Hire a Professional? | Evening Wedding Photography Why hire a professional photographer when you can save some money on your wedding day? There is a huge importance in hiring a professional photographer for your wedding. There are often many low light situations and quickly-changing lighting, many occurring during the evening reception. I've been asked to take photos for couples who had previously been let down by their own photographer. This is something I feel very passionately about!With my camera, I artistically capture the beauty in evening photography where a regular camera or phone...

The stunning Isla Gladstone is located in Liverpool on the edge of Stanley Park, and is a  beautiful wedding venue. It's always been one of my favourite venues to work at, as it's a perfect location for wedding photography. The building which is a massive glass conservatory was bulit in 1870. No matter what the weather is doing in Liverpool, low light is never a problem. In very sunny conditions, the harsh glare from the glass ceiling is defused by the white cloth hanging from the roof.   The day I worked as a wedding photographer for Chris and Meg at Isla Gladstone, the weather was a mixture...

The Wedding Community very kindly asked me to fill in a 'Getting to Know' feature. As a wedding photographer, I know how important it is for couples to make sure they know a little bit about their photographer before their big day. Here's a few of the questions they asked me, please follow the link at the bottom to view the full article.   Can you remember how old you were when you took your first pictures? I can recall the first time I held a SLR, I was 12 years old. I had all these creative ideas of what the pictures would look like, but when I had the film developed, I was gutted...

I had previously met up with Sandy and Jon twice before their wedding day, so when the big day arrived, it felt like we were friends. This makes it more enjoyable for all involved on the wedding day, as they feel comfortable with me, so are more likely to relax in front of the camera. Or even forget I'm there! They are a lovely couple. When you first meet them, you can instantly see how in love they are. I love this, as it makes it a dream to capture their wedding photography for them! Their wedding reception took place at the stunning West Tower wedding venue. I have had the pleasure of working...

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Vicky and Ramin to capture their pre wedding photography for them. Vicky is from London, a place that I love to work! I've had the pleasure of working as a wedding photographer a few times in London so far, and I loved every minute! I also worked along side a couple of London wedding photographers when I was making wedding films, and watching them do their job was an invaluable experience for me. It's so exciting to be able to capture such a special day for people, and to be able to travel around the country in the process just adds to the pleasure. The...

Julie and Ward's day was a bit of a special one. I was asked to join up with them for a wedding photography shoot, as unfortunately their wedding photos provided by another photographer weren't quite what they'd hoped for. It was a true pleasure to take their "wedding" photographs for them, although at first it felt a little strange, knowing there wasn't going to be an actual wedding on that day! But I soon got into it, and not having any time restraints really helped us all relax and enjoy ourselves. Julie is one of those people that you instantly warm to. She's caring, kind, beautiful and a wonderful...

I met up with Mark and Erin on their stunning wedding day at the gorgeous Dalston Hall in Cumbria. I was working as a second videographer , capturing their wedding on my DSLR camera, the one that I also use for wedding photography. I love how creative you can be with a professional DSLR, you can change lenses which means you can change focus, depth of field and light conditions. This allows you to capture beautiful and creative cinematography. I'm a huge fan of using a shallow depth of field, which means you can focus on something such as the bride's eyes, and everything else will be out of focus....

I had the pleasure of working as Claire and Trevor's wedding photographer for the day. It was one filled with special touches that made it truly unique. I just love weddings like theirs! It makes the occasion so personal for the couple, and definitely more memorable for all of the guests. At the very start of the day while Claire was getting ready,  she was shown into a bedroom where a collection of gifts had been laid out on the bed for her. As soon as she saw the stuffed monkey called Mojo, the excitement and surprise on her face was clear to see!!  Mojo and Claire go way back to when Claire...

Meg and Chris are one of those couples that you instantly warm to. From the very start, they were an absolute pleasure to be around, and I was incredibly excited to be capturing their wedding photography for them! Their day was a stunning one, the weather was absolutely perfect. The mood from the moment we walked into the house was relaxed and happy, and the party had already started. I enjoy this type of environment, as it makes my job so much easier when everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves. They easily forget I'm there so I can capture natural pictures. The Isla Gladstone in Liverpool...
