The Wow Factor and Wedding Photography

“Virtue is bold, and goodness never forgetful” – William Shakespeare I follow a photography website called “Fearless” Wedding Photographers https://www.fearlessphotographers.com/ To me their images are stunning, but they are not to everyone’s taste. They use fine art, impressionist and abstract techniques. The featured Brides and Grooms are often small in the frame or in complete shilouette or artistically blurred. When I photograph a wedding I have to be careful in ensuring that my clients get the highest quality images that […]

The Joy of Prints

It may be possible that our digital photographs will disappear over time, […]

Feedback from all has been wonderful and they have all been very happy with their photos. I have a critical eye, so am always striving to do better. Here […]

The Perfect Wedding

Did you hear the one about the bride who was 40 minutes late for the wedding (not her fault), or the speeches that went on for two hours, or the guest who inadvertently impersonated an upturned turtle on a wet dance-floor, or the need for a back up electricity generator when the power went off or the bride’s sister being a little worse for wear? Being a wedding photographer, I attend more weddings than the average person, so I have […]
