The Wedding of David & Sara,
Samlesbury Hall, Nr.Preston, 14th September 2007
First time out at Samlesbury Hall, what a wonderful location
for photography. Just how I like them dark with tungsten lighting. Sara
from the US had her family over and made it a special and fun wedding
to be involved with. David is a really laid back bloke and they were both
great to work with. Here are a few of my favourites. More fisheye images.
Break the back pose
I especially like churches, civil services that allow photographers
upfront to show 'everything' going on its useful picture to include in
the album and helps to combine many faces in one shot other than a plain
'group' photo. This paster was flown over from the states and was super
cool 'Tom Cruise' lookalike!
A nice touch of decoration on tables for variation.
Very dark inside 'haunted Samlesbury Hall is' whooooo.
Some of you will may remember Adele & Roys wedding back in
August, well this image has just won an award
in the SWPP
monthly compettion for September so thanks to them for being great
to photograph! I gauge this particular competition as being a significant
indicator of where I am, many of the UK top names in wedding photography
regularly contribute not just NW regional. Its good to know others can
respect my interpretation of artistry.
i'm no Keith Thompson or McGowan yet but I live in hope!
I do groups as well , I love me line-ups folks!!Chests out gentlemen,
and similar for the ladies ;-)
I even do reportage said with a french accent! Pronounced
Rep-por-tah (as in taj mahal)
Whats the strapline here? The grooms waiting for you! or 'Come on dont
make hard work of this...'
A pose we men know too well-the 'begging' or the puppy dog!
Me going a bit crazy
I can do Cartier Bresson when the mood takes me....
No David didnt get hit over his head as the shadow would suggest...
Poirot?
A beautiful room with daylight pouring into the large windows makes for
good photography picking up the period decor.
A nice close up of Rebecca.
The Wedding of Alan & Angela Frank, Brathay
Holy Trinity Church, Ambleside, 22nd September 2007
A quiet wedding away from all the hustle and
bustle nr. Skelwith Bridge, Lake District on a lovely autumnal day.
Angela & Alan were both great to photograph and the scenery was spectacular
from the hill tops.
Angela got out her walking boots for this shot ,no not
really the driver kindly took us to the top for 20 minutes and took in
this breathtaking vista over looking the Langdales. In case you like your
peaks heres the map.
To an extend photography is easier in the beautiful lake district but
sometimes you have to let the scenery do the work, where less (posing)
is more, beautiful soft warm evening rays with a burst of fill flash for
the couple. The colours have been enhanced somewhat, the original is a
rollover state below main image.You just dont get views like this anywhere
this viewpoint is literally 5 minutes from Ambleside and I wasnt aware
of it until Angela told me about it.
Alan has been coming here since he was a lad with his dad.
Black & White variation Ansel Adams style :-) a touch of the the Becks
there Alan.....

a Couple of ramblers out on their travellers bump into us...
A kiss on the tops
I thought this was funny, as the bride and her dad walked down the isle
up comes the vicar and says to me ' get this shot and then your done'
well never one to upset a man of the cloth I get the shot again for the
2nd time to allow her to actually go down the isle and then another one
of these without the vicar, and is a better shot so thanks Vicar will
have to try and work that manoveure into more weddings...
Skelwith Bridge
The Howbeck, Windermere was my last port of call for Angela & Alans
wedding where she wanted a few outside the lovely lakeland slate and flowers,
her dress was very beautiful and I like using stairs to accentuate the
flow.
