On Saturday Jon and I travelled down to London to capture Clare and Anthony’s great wedding and as someone who has very rarely driven into the “Big Smoke” I do admit to a few apprehensions beforehand about getting to E2 for the prep and ceremony and then on to the Hilton at Canary Wharf for the reception, but in the end the most trouble we had was getting back out of London at the end of the day. We  travelled in convoy on the way home and even leaving after 11pm the city centre was rammed so we took quite a few detours to try and avoid really long delays and its fair to say we had done half the monopoly board by the time we escaped to the M40, surprisingly good fun though after a long day.

Super day out with some really nice people so thanks to everyone for making us feel so welcome and thanks once again to all the wedding guests that assisted in the “great wallet hunt” that Jon set-up for part of the day, I’ve only mentioned it about 20 times so far to him and have promised it will dropped after 10 years. Anyway enough waffle from me, here’s a few photos from the wedding.

Edit: I’ve once again picked way too many images to blog from this wedding so I am putting this up as a gallery again.

We got challenged by the weather a couple of times during the day but Katie and Chris were absolute stars in making sure we had plenty of time with them for photos and always had a ready smile on their faces no matter what part of the day it was, it was an absolute pleasure to work with them.

Check out this link for more photo booth pictures from this wedding.

Jon couldn’t make it to this wedding so a big thanks to Robert Whetton who has helped us out on numerous occasions now when we have needed another  photographer, thanks again for helping with this one Bob!

I couldn’t post without one photo from the photo booth, please come back on Wednesday for a whole lot more of them because I assure you they are worth it. I think the later we run out photo booth during the evening reception the crazier they are and due to the weather interruptions on this day this was our latest one yet!

The Cotswold’s is such a lovely part of the country with many great wedding venues and at a short 45 minutes drive from our base here in Warwick its definitely somewhere we love to shoot so this is a wedding I will be looking forward to later this year. Here’s a few photos from our walk around the grounds at Cripps Barn last week.

After 10 years of shooting weddings Damien has now moved on to focusing on training other photographers and runs workshops for various different specialties and the course I attended yesterday was called Speedlight Mastery and focused on off camera flash using thew new Pocket Wizard TTL system.

It was a fantastic course and with a small class size of just 4 it was great to have plenty of time to shoot Katie,  our lovely model for the day and lots of time to chat with Damien and the other attendees. Here’s a few images from the course that were shot around Bristol city centre, all images straight from camera with no post processing, just re-sized for our blog.

We’ve always offered standard cards in most of our packages (and still do) and they are a great way of saying thanks to wedding guests after your big day and these new premium cards offer the same with something a little bit different added.

Please Contact Us if you would like further information on these thank you cards or any other product we offer.

Adrian, Beanie, Toby and even Brandy seems to be coping very well with the new noisy arrival (who for the time being is called “uh uh” after Toby’s favorite monkey) and I have a few more pics I will share later on but at the moment after a busy and exciting few days my bed is beckoning.

Its a huge show with over 250 exhibitors, Catwalk Shows, Inspiration Sessions the How to Look Good Show and the How To Look Good Advice Clinic all giving bride and grooms tons of inspiration for their wedding day.

Our booth is very close to the entrance this year, to get to it turn left as you enter the main hall and we are a few stands down on the left hand side, stand A2a.

We are doing a show special offer again the details of which I will post below and we will also have a competition that is available for everyone to enter, we are still finalizing details of this so please visit our stand for further details.

Look forward to meeting lots of new people at the show and hopefully some previous clients and friends too!
