Ryan and Michelle - Upper House - Barlaston
Mounted signing boards!
I've a huge back log of work at the moment which is why there haven't been many posts from me for a few weeks. With a wedding each week it all gets very busy this time of year. Not to worry though because I'll be posting some great highlights over the coming weeks showing off my new styles and sneaky peaks of 2013.
For now, I wanted to pop these two images up of my mounted signing boards. I've had a lot of orders for these this year. They're great fun and I love having a little more time to interact with couples on an engagement shoot (which is where we get the main image :).
So here's two pics of them in use at weddings recently :D

Party time!
Paul and Alison - The Upper House, Barlaston
Paul and Alisons wedding at The Upper House in Barlaston was wonderful. I met these two on a number of occasions before their wedding and I've loved popping over for chats :)
I've enjoyed being in their company as much as I did editing their photographs - so much so that I want to share a few more than normal with you. I've shared a lot of my wedding portrait photography in previous posts so I thought I'd show a bit more of my candid, reportage or documentary photography - it has so many names I don't know what to call it.
To make it a little more fun, I haven't storyboarded them, it's purely a random pull from Paul and Alison's pool of photographs.
Anyway... here's 40 :)
Elizabeth and Chris - Wroxall Abbey
Yesterday I met up with Elizabeth and Chris at Wroxall Abbey in Warwickshire to have a chat about their day.
After a natter we decided to have the quickest engagement shoot. After chatting so long we had only 5 mins left so I quickly grabbed these including my first ever fully working Ryan Brenizer method pic :)
Laura and Anthony - Priest house, Castle Donnington
Well, it has been quite a while since I last posted!
Almost an entire month. The wedding season has begun and it's taken up a lot of my time. I've got plenty to show everyone!
First off is Laura and Anthony who sealed the deal in Castle Donnington with their reception at the Priest house, a really brilliant and friendly venue. The weather held off just long enough to get some piccys out front with a gap later in the evening where we picked up a great sunset!
I haven't put many on because a few of you mentioned they were taking a while to load, hopefully this is a little better... and I'm sure it's worth the wait to see them :P
thanks all!
I've got a D800 (nur nur)
This is a completely camera related blog post. I apologise to anyone wanting to see some work.
PMC - Bari Barsi
The world famous Panjab MC has released his new single, Bari Barsi, I went down to the video shoot with the brilliant Bhangra Empire dance troop to get some still material.
It's a really bouncy tune, I really like it. All available on itunes :)

Steve and Jayne
So it's here! First official wedding of the season!
Last weekend was Steve and Jaynes turn to tie the knot.
It was a great day, the weather held off to help make a brilliant day even better!
So here we go, the start of another busy, busy summer with more weddings being added to my list every day. I can't wait for it all to happen, this year my dream of becoming a full time photographer has really come true with more exciting things happening in the near future.

Expect this to go on for a while
I met the cutest couple the other day for their engagement shoot.
They've chosen one from the shoot to go onto their mounted signing board (But I won't show that one, it's a surprise :P)
We shot it at the church they're booked in to be married. Really excited for their wedding in June!
Hairy Bikers
A bit more of a personal shoot today. I've no interest in bikes but it seems I know three people who are very different types of motorcycle enthusiast. So with my three new models I thought we'd get them a few nice portraits coupled with something I've never tried before (but always wanted to do).
Bike portraits! So, with the easy stuff over I climbed into the back of a VW and had a go at shooting out of the back.
Not the most comfy thing to do. Also, I didn't count on it being so hard to do! There's tons to think about and a bumpy road changes your conversion rate from 1 in 50 to 1 in 200, camera shake being the main problem. None of us were competent or experienced so we weren't comfortable moving at high speed. This meant my shutter speed at to be set lower to get a bit of motion blur. Also, shooting at 14mm meant the bikes had to be inches from the back of the vehicle and at 20-40mph we came close to a collision a few times.
I had dreams of attaching flashes to the side of cars and running a really elaborate lighting set up but considering our skill I figured we'd keep it as basic as possible.
Then for my something a little bit different. A bit of a failed attempt if I'm completely honest. I had this idea of a bike chase for a bit of fun but think I ran out of ideas after a long day and I'm also somewhat restricted by my post processing skill. It's unfortunate that the Harley Davidson couldn't stick around for very long either, it might have added to the story a little. Still, it's a step forward in my learning and a ton of fun! The lads seem to like them anyway :P
