Holly and Charles drove out from London to do their all important pre wedding photoshoot this weekend. They are both lawyers and will be getting married at St Clement Danes Church in The Strand with the reception at The Athenaeum Club in Pall Mall, London. We took a sunny stroll through Linton village and took a number of images, some of which are shown here. Please feel free to add comments and messages at the bottom of the page….

Congratulations to Kat and Greig who were married at the Shire Hall in Cambridge on Saturday and had their reception at The Three Horsehoes in Madingley.

If there was ever a wedding in which i was praying for good weather, it was this one. The Three Horseshoes is a lovely pub and restaurant, but it has no space for doing group photographs if it had been raining. Needless to say, i checked the forecast daily in the run up to the wedding and it was touch and go for a while. On the morning of the wedding i opened the curtains to find that it was grey and soaking wet. But after a check of the weather report i was relieved to see that the rain was moving east and would clear just in time. Sure enough, the weather came good and our luck held. By the time we got under way, it was brighter and it just kept getting better throughout the afternoon until we had blue skies and sunshine. What a result!

As usual, we started the photographs with the boys, kicking off at The Doubletree by Hilton in Cambridge before going for a walk into town to get some architecture in the pictures. Two hours later, we were photographing Kat who looked amazing in her Florentina dress by designer Ian Stuart. The dress was supplied by The Tailors Cat in Cambridge and the hair pieces were made by  Emma Simpkins.

We had a great time photographing throughout the day and as usual, we were exhausted by the end. A big thank you to all the guests for ‘going with the flow’ with some of our antics. It has made for some great pictures.

Kat and Greig are off to Thailand for their honeymoon and we wish them both a lovely time. Once they return and view their images with us, we will then make their on line gallery live and prints can be ordered directly. To view the gallery, visit our main website at www.aspectphoto.co.uk . In the meantime, here’s a sneak peak of pictures. We hope you like them and would love to hear your comments which you can leave at the bottom of this post………….

Katherine and Greig came over to Linton recently for their pre wedding photoshoot and had some fun doing their pictures around the village.

I always enjoy doing the pre wedding photoshoots as they are always so relaxed. Our couples seem to enjoy themselves and if these pictures are anything to go by, i think you will agree that Kat and Greig had a good time. I can’t wait to do the wedding pictures as they are clearly going to be a lot of fun.

They are getting married at Shire Hall in July and are having their reception at The 3 Horseshoes in Madingley, which is a lovely restaurant with amazing food! (I speak from experience there.)

Here are a few of the shots from their photoshoot. Please feel free to add comments at the bottom of the post………

I am really excited to announce that a selection of my landscape photographs has been featured in the current issue of Professional Image Maker Magazine.

Not only that, but i have also had my winning landscape photograph printed on the front cover!

Every photographer hopes that their work will become recognised by their peers at some point, so to be chosen to have a portfolio of my personal work published in a professional photographic journal is a real honour and i am naturally delighted.

Regular readers of my blog will remember that i recently won the SWPP Landscape Photographer of the Year 2009 Award for the photograph that now features on the magazine front cover.  After this excitement, i was thrilled to be asked by Mike McNamee, the editor of Professional Image Maker Magazine, to submit a portfolio after i met up with him at the Focus trade show at the NEC in Birmingham. I had been visiting the show and hadn’t realised that my picture was on display there. It was quite a surprise when i saw it on the SWPP’s stand with my name next to it!

The first spread of the portfolio showing another picture taken (left page) about half a mile from the winning cover photo and shows Black Rock Cottage at Glen Coe.

The picture on the right hand page was taken at Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire.

Top Right: Also Newgale Beach and taken on the same day as the other shot.

Right Page, Bottom Left: Field of Gold was taken 180 degrees from Tumult in the Skies within a few minutes of each other.

Right Page, Bottom Right: The Forgotten House, Suffolk. This shot was taken a few miles from my house and shows an derelict and overgrown house. I have given the window an orange tint and placed it in the centre of the image to draw the viewer’s attention. It’s one of my favourite images.

We have just completed the pictures from Esther and Peter’s recent wedding at The Maltings in Great Dunmow, Essex.  This was the very first wedding to be held at the venue which has only recently become approved to hold civil ceremonies.

We started the day by photographing Peter and his parents at Peter and Esther’s home before dashing off to do the bridal portraits. Then a further dash to Great Dunmow to get to the venue just in time. Thank goodness for Satnav!

The weather was lovely and sunny throughout the day although it was bitterly cold, we managed to get the formals and group pictures done in the very narrow garden at the Maltings before another drive through the Essex countryside to the picturesque village of Thaxted where the reception was being held in the Guild Hall. Built in 1390, the Guild Hall is a very nice venue to hold 50 or so guests and also provides us with some nice photo opportunities.

Esther and Peter are off on their honeymoon to America and we wish them both a lovely time. Below are a few of the pictures from the wedding. Please feel free to add any comments at the bottom of the page as we love to hear from you….
