Cambridge Wedding Photographer.
Aspect Photography is operated by Richard and Diane Martin from Linton, near Cambridge and offers creative wedding and portrait photography for Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Suffolk, Norfolk and nationwide.
Our style of wedding photography is best described as creative and contemporary with a splash of traditional and reportage. Our prices reflect the dedication and quality of our work and include a pre wedding photoshoot, coverage on the wedding day and our extensive post production photoshop work. To view our wedding photography prices, please click on the CONTACT tab and fill in the form.
Our portrait photography is all shot on location, which we prefer as the backgrounds are always more interesting than in a studio. That said however, we use multiple flash, reflectors and video lights to produce studio quality lighting on location. We also have a portable backdrop system if you have the space to set it up!
Please visit the blog regularly and see what we are doing from week to week. You may also like to visit our flash website to view slideshows of our work. www.aspectphoto.co.uk

I was in Cambridge recently to do some promotional photographs for a local night club DJ. Nineteen year old Tom Cane is a regular at the Soul Tree night club in Cambridge and needed a few shots which we took within a stones throw of the club. It was a refreshing change for me to photograph some portraits in a slightly different style in order to meet the brief from Tom’s manager. Here is a selection from the shoot……..
Last weekend, I photographed Esther and Peter at their home in Little Sampford near Saffron Walden. It was probably one of the most unusual pre wedding shoots i have done, as the brief was to include their chickens in some of the shots!
The couple are getting married at The Maltings in Great Dunmow and will be the first wedding to be held at the venue. The reception will be at The Guild Hall in Thaxted, which should provide us with plenty of photo opportunities as Thaxted is such a lovely village.
As usual, we are looking forward to the day, especially as it will be our first wedding of the new year. Keep an eye on the blog for some pictures, but in the meantime, here are a few of the pre wedding shots……….

One of the pictures from a recent pre wedding photoshoot has been published in The Times on Saturday. Esther and Peter, (who will feature in the next blog post), are getting married in March and i did a pre wedding photoshoot at their house in Little Sampford. They are very keen on the rural farmhouse living and wanted their chickens to feature in some of their pictures to accompany an article on their engagement which was subsequently printed in The Times. I was more than happy to oblige and got a small credit printed next to the picture. Fame at last!
I am delighted to announce that i have just won the Landscape Photographer of the Year 2009 Award at The Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers annual convention!
The SWPP, which has over 7000 members worldwide, hosts an annual convention and trade show at The Novotel in Hammersmith and is the largest photographic convention in Europe. Awards are given in a number of categories and are selected from 1500 Gold Award images from the monthly competitions throughout the year. The 1500 Gold Award images were previously selected from over 23,000 images submitted, so to be chosen as a title winner is a real privilege.
The Landscape category was sponsored by Epson Printers who kindly donated a professional printer worth over £1000! I had no idea at the time and was just pleased to go up on stage to accept the award from TV presenter Philippa Forrester of Tomorrow’s World fame. It was only after i returned to my seat that i was told i had also won the printer!

We always enjoy being the wedding photographers for weddings at Gosfield Hall and Alison and Mike’s wedding was no exception. Despite the cold and foggy weather, the festive decorations and roaring log fire made the wedding a bit more special.
Gosfield Hall is a fantastic and prestigious venue which is a perfect choice for weddings. Most of the photography was done in the warm, except for a brief excursion outside for a group photo and for the fireworks display in the evening.
Here are a few of the images……..

I am very pleased to announce that i have been awarded a Gold Award from the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers monthly competition in the ‘Wedding Contemporary’ category for this photograph taken at Vicki and Adam’s wedding at South Farm, near Royston.
The ‘Wedding Contemporary’ is one of the more difficult categories to achieve a gold award in, making the pleasure of receiving it even sweeter!

I have just finished working on the images i took at Vicki and Adam’s wedding at South Farm, near Royston and thought i would put a few more out on the blog.
South Farm is a great venue which offers a lot of fantastic photo opportunities, hence the delay in finishing the portfolio – there was just so many good ones and i can’t resist working on them until i am completely happy i have done a good job. The post production work i do on photoshop is time consuming, but it is definitely worth it, as i hope you will agree with this selection of pictures…..
A nice one to finish the album with!

I am always pleased to get a result from the pictures i enter into the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers monthly competition and last month i received a Gold and two Silver awards.
The Gold Award was won in the Landscape Category, which is my most successful category so far. The picture was take at Carew Castle in Diane’s home county of Pembrokeshire.
The two Silver Awards will be eligible to be reconsidered and possibly upgraded to Gold at the end of the year, so fingers crossed for that. One of the Silver Awards was taken at Karen and James’ wedding at The Felix Hotel in Cambridge in early September and was entered in the Bridal Portraiture Category. This is one of the hardest categories to achieve a Gold, so i am pleased to get a Silver. It was featured on the blog earlier this month, but here it is again…..
Finally, i got a Silver Award in the Architectural Category for this next shot taken in Glasgow City Centre during a recent visit. I was on my way to visit Gordon McGowan, who is one of the best wedding photographers in the country. I had stayed overnight in the lake district and took some great landscape photos, (which i have yet to begin working on and may well be entered in future competitions). I then stopped at Glasgow City and took a series of architectural images before heading up to Loch Lomond. I then spent the following day in Gordon McGowan’s studio and had a great time and learned loads of new stuff. In fact, i must confess that the bridal picture above is inspired by that day. All in all, i had a great weekend’s photography and to get some competition winners from it just adds to the enjoyment. Here is the Glasgow picture……..

On Friday, we were at the exquisite venue of South Farm, near Royston to photograph Vicki and Adam’s wedding. The weather was perfect sunshine all day, which meant that the happy couple were able to get married in the summer house across the pond in the South Farm gardens.
This was the first time we had covered a wedding at South Farm and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. The venue is beautiful and features an almost endless array of photo opportunities, so we couldn’t fail to get some great shots.
Our thanks go to Vicki and Adam for being such good models for us and also to their friends and families for their cooperation. Well done to Cecile for planning the wedding (and choosing us as the photographers!). Also a quick mention to the South Farm team for their help and the great food!
Here are a few of the pictures from the day. We would welcome your comments, so please feel free to use the comments feature at the bottom of the pictures…….

October 12, 2009 - 9:09 pm - Richard's style is everything his website promises- contemporary, traditional and reportage. His shots in the drawing room at South Farm would not look out of place alongside classic Renaissance paintings! And as for images by the summer house and pond, he has captured the idyllic nature of the venue perfectly...
October 12, 2009 - 9:01 pm - What a gorgeous image- The location is out of this world and Richard captured this perfectly! thankyou!
September 26, 2009 - 2:45 pm - I love these pics!!!!
We are looking forward to photographing Alison and Mike’s wedding at Gosfield Hall in December. We always enjoy covering weddings at Gosfield Hall as it is a magnificent venue with plenty of beautiful photo opportunities.
Alison and Mike’s wedding sounds as though it is going to be a great day, with plenty of bridesmaids, flower girls and children as well as about 100 guests in attendance. We have been booked to photograph the whole day through to the evening party and being a December wedding, Gosfield Hall will be decorated for Christmas, so the pictures are going to look great. We can’t wait!
For their Pre Wedding Photoshoot, i chose to photograph the couple before the end of summer and we spent some time on location this weekend to get some great shots. Here are a few of them…….
