As I sit in front of my computer looking at the usual mass of images on the huge screen, it occurs to me that I have a very different view of the world. I say ‘different’ purely because I see things in far, far greater detail than most people will ever witness!!! The fine detail captured by my Nikon professional cameras is simply staggering (and a little frightening in its ability to show EVERYTHING !). So let’s say it’s your wedding day and you’re looking in the mirror, after 4 hours of hair and makeup, reflected back at you is the image you will To View More >>

The party is over....the happy couple wave goodbye to adoring guests....the venue staff begin the clear up....and the wedding photographer races home to download their days work!   Photo-processing used to be a mystical art carried out in a 'dark room' with pungent chemicals, weird red lights, reels of film and a hanging line of drying prints.

Finding ‘The One'  So, I went to The National Wedding Show last weekend at the NEC in Birmingham to check out some accessories for an upcoming photo-shoot that I'm organizing… I just wanted to see what is ‘in' at the moment and what accessories brides love right now.   Well, it was wedding dresses, wedding dresses, and more wedding dresses!

I love the moment I get hired; it’s an emotional moment as the bride has just decided I am the one, along with her husband to be, to share in the big day.   I get a front row seat to all the action and excitement.

Wedding Editing (Wedditing)… Is it for you?   Photographs connect us all. They pinpoint a moment in time. A moment shared, captured and to last forever. Photographing weddings in digital today gives me, as a photographer, infinite opportunities to edit any tiny moment, edit the small imperfections and ultimately edit to make you look the most stunning you have ever been.   Asking for small cosmetic retouching on your wedding day photos is fairly normal and I have fantastic software at my fingertips to do almost anything. However, I also know how to take your photo to capture a To View More >>
