Gemma & James wedding preparation to the party

Gemma & James

Wedding preparation to the party

From the wedding preparation to the party were the instructions, once we sit down for dinner we want to relax…. ok I said.

Gemma & James live in coventry, Gemma is Irish and James is English and they got married in Ireland, and were married in one county and had their reception in another…what could go wrong?

The answer is easy nothing, the day went off without a hitch… except they got hitched!

I photographed these guys when I still lived in Ireland, it was may, the weather was fine and the day was a fantastic celebration.

After we chatted about what the bride and groom wanted from me and how long they wanted to book me for we agreed that I would photograph the wedding preparation to the party.

An as I lived two miles from the reception hotel, I was home in time for a beer and chat with my wife, this is unusual for a wedding photographer!

I met the bride at her mums house and started work, bubbles were already flowing and spirits were high, the ceremony was in Dundalk and reception in Slane. we agreed that if the weather was fine we would stop at the famous Hill of Slane and shoot the bridal party there.

once we got the group shots done the bridesmaids and groomsmen left and we spent 20 minutes or so getting the bridal portraits done. all that was left was the throwing of the bouquet , a ritual that seems less popular these days.

I photographed the bride and groom cutting the cake and got out of their hair, a great day all round, enjoy the pictures.

Jim & Diane Manchester Town hall wedding

Jim & Diane

Manchester Town hall wedding

When Jim and Diane contacted me about shooting their wedding and told me it was in the Manchester town hall I was over the moon.

The bride and groom were very relaxed, they weren’t going to have a photographer initially, but then worried that any pictures from the day might go missing or never get to them.

So they asked me to document the day and only requested that I get a family picture, Jim and Diane both had grown up children from previous partners so getting a family picture was important.

Photographing their wedding started at the town hall, the ceremony room was very elegant and I did manage to grab a few shot of people milling into the room before the ceremony.

The formalities went off very smoothly, before everyone settled into their glasses of bubbly I gathered the family out to one of the fantastic landings where I had already set up some lights to give a little help to the available light.

Once the family groups were done five minutes with the bride and groom was all we needed to finish the posed pictures so they could re join the party.

I traveled from Manchester town hall to Old Trafford cricket ground where the reception was to take place and a bit more partying,  Jim instructed me to get some food…. which was lovely before the entertainer started touring the room, he was great fun.

The last part of my job was to capture the first dance, one of my favourite parts of a wedding day as its the point at which you see the couple relax… everything is done, speeches, thanks are given and it’s party time.

Janet & David travel wedding Photographer

Travel wedding Photographer

Janet & David booked me for their wedding while I actually lived in Ireland, my moving back to the UK before their wedding was what actually made me a travel wedding Photographer, but I’m taking it as my first destination wedding as I did have to travel to Dublin to cover it.

The Bride and Groom actually live in the Cayman Islands, we exchanged a few emails and had a few consultations by Skype, which was great as I could do it from home.

After chatting to David and Janet I did my usual recci and check out in door and outside locations, it was a December Wedding so being outside would be for a very short amount of time.

The couple gave me two locations they liked, and I made a plan to get there and onto the hotel in Dublin city centre easily. I sent pictures of my recci through to Janet and we formed a plan to get everything done, thankfully the day was dry and not to cold, so we managed to get some outside portraits of the couple; before retreating to the hotel.

The formal pictures were nice and easy to get as the hotel had plenty of space to work and it was nice and bright. the main reception room was spectacular I hope I did it justice in my pictures.

Anne & Liam small and intimate wedding

Ann & Liam

Small & intimate wedding.

Ann and Liam are a mature bride and groom who asked me to shoot their wedding, Ann had been searching around for a photographer and contacted me because she liked the relaxed feel to my work, and they were planning a Small & intimate wedding.

I have covered small weddings of only thirty guests and larger weddings of two hundred guests, Ann & Liam were some where in the middle with around ninety friends and family going along to help them celebrate.

The ceremony room was quite challenging to work in because there were no windows and the light levels were low, I did have to use some flash, but tried to make sure it looked natural by using the flash very carefully.

As with all civil ceremonies it was a swift affair, and once the vows were exchanged there were a couple of readings and then it was party time.

The weather leading up to the wedding had been very wet, thankfully the day was dry and we managed to get outside for some pictures.

The hotel had no gardens so we used the rear entrance to the hotel which did offer some greenery and extra light.

The day was a pleasure and everyone had a good time, the bride and groom were relaxed and the groom was happy I only asked him to do formal pictures for about fifteen minutes.

As usual I took far to many pictures and made it hard work for myself to edit them down to an easy to digest number for the couple.

Rick & Sian, Farm wedding, Cheshire


Rick & Sian

Farm wedding, Cheshire.

A while ago I was pleased to be asked by an old friend to photograph his wedding to the lovely Sian, the day was to be a fairly relaxed affair once the ceremony was over!

The couple were to be married in St Werburgh’s in Chester, a stunning church both inside and out, Rick is a camera shy farmer so he wanted to feel relaxed about the day… ok I said don’t worry you’ll hardly know I’m there! I love it when couples say they only want a few posed pictures when I’m photographing their weddings.

As usual I kept a low profile during the ceremony, the day was nice so we managed to go across the road to Grovsner park to get a few pictures of the couple and one of all the guests, we had a nice walk through the park where I grabbed a few frames of the B&G walking and chatting, before getting a few formal portraits.

After the party left Chester it was back to the farm where Ricks family live, serious hours had been put into preparing the house gardens and barn, despite being from an agricultural background I had never photographed a wedding reception on a farm; and I was looking forward to it!

The farm is where I let loose and probably took to many pictures, but with so many happy faces and such a relaxed atmosphere it was like shooting fish in a barrel to capture the mood of the party,
