Wedding Photographer in Cambridgeshire - Aspect Wedding Photography Blog

Last weekend we had a fantastic time at the wedding of Jessica and Neil at Clavering in Essex.

Everyone hopes for a sunny day for their wedding, (except the photographer who has to deal with the light metering and harsh shadows), but on this particular day it was a blessing as rain would have caused real problems with the reception being held in a marquee nearby. (When i say nearby, it didn’t seem quite so near when lugging cameras, a step ladder and tripod through fields, over fences and through a wood!)

As it turned out, it was a scorcher of a day and the wedding was a relaxed and fun occasion with a hint of a quintessential English village fete, including a ‘wellie wanging’ competition and children’s fancy dress.

We got some great pictures throughout the day. Here are a few of them…..

As the final exams draw to a close, Gabrielle took some time out for a series of portraits taken on location near to Linton.

Gabrielle has completed her time at Linton Village College and has gained a place at Hills Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge and will be studying music amongst her chosen subjects. She currently plays flute, piano, guitar and even a bit of ukulele !

We are really looking forward to photographing the wedding of Joanna and Ian at The Doubletree by Hilton hotel in Cambridge in May.

The Doubletree Hotel is in the heart of Cambridge and as such offers some fantastic photo opportunities with it’s modern architecture and prime location on the banks of the river Cam. There are also lots of historical buildings nearby to use as backdrops and we are excited at the prospect of getting some great shots.

To get a sense of what’s in store for them, we chose to do their pre-wedding photoshoot in another part of the historical centre of Cambridge. We are delighted with the results and can’t wait to do the wedding photographs.

Our pre-wedding photoshoots are part of the wedding packages that we offer and are a vital part of the wedding photography experience. The shoot helps our couples to feel at ease being photographed and directed by us and are therefore more relaxed having us around on their wedding day.

The pre-wed also gives our couples the opportunity to view images of themselves taken by us before the wedding and gives them confidence in our ability.  Some photographers place an additional cost on a pre wedding photoshoot, but we consider it so important that it is complimentary with our packages.

Here are a few of the images from the shoot. We hope you like them as much as we do!

I am pleased to announce that i have won another Gold Award from the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers monthly competition. This months winner is in the Pictorial Category and was taken in Portishead, near Bristol.

This is my sixth Gold Award from the SWPP competitions which are run each month and the Gold Awards are given to the very best shots which are later published in the Societies magazine.

I am always delighted to be awarded a Gold accolade, especially when it is judged by fellow photographers as it gives some indication of the expected standard within the industry.

The winning photograph shows a sculpture of standing stones at the seafront in Portishead. When i took the picture, a retired couple came up to me and asked if i was taking it for a competition. I told them that i wasnt, but later when i worked on the picture on the computer, i realised that i had something a bit special.

We are pleased to announce that we are now a recommended wedding photographer at Anstey Hall in Cambridge.

Anstey Hall is a beautifully restored stately home in Maris Lane, Trumpington, Cambridge. The hall provides beautiful backdrops for wedding photography both inside and in the extensive grounds.

We are planning to put example albums on display at the hall in the near future, but in the meantime, our brochure is available when visiting Anstey Hall. Please ask Abigail for a copy.
