A wet wedding at Beechfield House, Melksham, Wiltshire

August 23, 2015  •  1 Comment

Summer weddings are not always warm and sunny! It's challenging and sometimes fun for the photographer at a wet wedding to come up with ways of maximising the surroundings and making the most of the situation. At this particular wedding the rain did not let up the whole day; we went out with umbrellas for some bride and groom photography and for the confetti pictures but there was never an opportunity to leave out the umbrellas! However, Beechfield House is a great venue for indoor photography with a lovely staircase and some great big windows with window seats. Here are a few of the pictures we took:

Some weddings we have done...

I must share with you just a few of the past weddings we have photographed as this blog of my new website is so devoid of any pictures - not good for a photographer! My wedding photography started out in the old film days; thinking back now it seems so scary not to be able to check the back of the screen just to make sure that exposures look OK! We've photographed weddings in all months of the year and all weathers and have experience to get the best of whatever situation we are in. Experience is pretty important for an event like a wedding when you only get one chance to get it right!

Wedding photography is just a part of our business; I like the variety of photographing people in all sorts of situations for all sorts of reasons. But it is SUCH a privilege to be asked to be a part of a couple's wedding day and to share so many amazing moments with them. Our aim is to capture as many of all the emotions that make up the day and this means looking for the detail. As with all my photography, looking for a good lighting angle is always important to me to maximise the impact of each image. Here are a few pictures from over the years:

Amazing Wiltshire party

Now my new website is finally up and running I must start populating my new blog site! All my years of work are now not to be seen here, unfortunately, but this new blog has much bigger images and looks so much better. So, now on to some pictures:

Last Saturday I photographed a joint 21st, 18th and 16th birthday party in Tormaton, Wiltshire. What an amazing event! Ruth Brookman from Brookman Greene was the party planner and she had worked for over a year planning the event with the family. Every last detail had been thought about and everyone had such a good time.

Look for the light

What a lovely surprise to discover how beautiful the light is around The Roman Baths in Bath! The alcoves provided enough light subtraction for really lovely directional light, and the interesting old Bath stone walls were the perfect backdrop. I had to photography quickly to avoid all the tourists, but I could have spent hours there with my willing subjects. The Roman Baths are also very well presented - I hadn't visited for many years and was really impressed with the whole experience.
