Wedding general
« Previous EntriesCakes glorious cakes!
Sunday, August 10th, 2008You know that phrase; ‘Water water everywhere, and not a drop to drink?’ Last year just prior to Christmas I was photographing a wedding near Windsor whilst suffering a mild to exceptionally head lifting, toothache. Without investing in too much grisly detail, a chipped tooth had exposed a nerve and and and. (You know what […]
Low light wedding photography
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008What I sometimes struggle to understand when talking to fellow pros in the wedding photography industry, is why photogs run inside and strap a speedlight (flash) to their camera body the moment the sun makes an exit from the skies above. I’m a relative newbie to the habit of chasing any light that makes itself […]
Those black and white moments
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Without sounding adversely sickly about why at Breathe we choose to shoot weddings, it’s the candid moments that make our industry so exciting. It’s hard to tell on a two inch screen how you’ve captured a scenario until the day’s work is downloaded later on the same evening. Purists may argue that a download doesn’t […]
A stranger wedding image
Saturday, May 24th, 2008First of congratulations to Nigel and Sarah Shepherd upon their wedding celebrations at Ufton Court in Berkshire. I don’t know, maybe it’s a touch of self indulgence when photographing at Ufton that I [Neale James] find myself in a tiny priest’s vestry within this 15th Century house. Maybe it’s the fact that this incredible house […]
Alex and Emmie at Silchester House
Friday, April 11th, 2008When we’re asked what our favourite photographic venue for weddings is, I’ll [Neale James] personally respond with; “They’re all elegant and absorbing photographically for their own respective reasons and features.” Now I realise that must sound like I’ve perched myself atop a very comfortable fence and is one strong step towards a career in estate […]
A rainy wedding in Swindon town
Saturday, December 29th, 2007For any couples with a slight concern over what the good ole British weather will do on their wedding day, take a leaf out of the Zachans’ book. Ashley and Clare were hosting their wedding day in Clare’s original town of residence, Swindon. The couple now live in New Zealand and were back to share part […]
Three August weddings in a row
Sunday, August 26th, 2007August is always a traditionally busy month in our diary. Friday 24th we found ourselves in Hampshire at Lainston House Hotel near Winchester for Karen Williams and Mark Forrester’s wedding. This hotel boasts a number of celebrity regulars who literally fly in on an adhoc basis, popping their Jetrangers down on to the croquet lawn. […]
Beautiful day at Bodridis
Saturday, August 11th, 2007We travelled to North Wales for this wedding, the bride’s childhood hometown. Bodridis Hall was the venue. We haven’t exactly been blessed with the finest weather this year, so a day of sunshine and a balmy evening for the reception was very welcome. Congratulations Duncan and Vickie.
A real wedding party!
Saturday, August 4th, 2007You get out of life what you put in etc. That’s never more true than when you witness a fantastic party atmosphere building at a wedding. Today we photographed Neil and Emma’s wedding in Berkshire. The guests threw themselves into the day 100% and that’s when a reception can become a real celebration. Clearly a […]
Ceremony in the garden
Saturday, June 2nd, 2007Well after a week of such extreme rain and winds, the expectation of a dry Saturday for the marriage between Adam Carysforth and Sally Atherton at Broome Park in Kent, was not exactly high. But upon waking early to make our departure for the ‘Garden of England,’ it was decidedly different to the preceding six […]
