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 […]
Cross processing and Mars Bars
Saturday, June 2nd, 2007Okay, imagine this. You take one perfectly good Mars Bar available at all good confectionary outlets and pop it in your fridge. Chill it, don’t freeze it. Mix some flour and baking soda, add a little beer, then mix until you get a batter like consistency. Heat some oil. Liberate your Mars from the fridge and coat […]
Silchester with The Slatterys
Saturday, May 5th, 2007Boy does it feel good to return to the venue that hosted our own wedding reception; Silchester House in Berkshire. It always feels like we’re returning home and that’s a special emotion. So it was a real pleasure to follow Jennifer Newport and Martin Slattery through their day, from St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on Saturday […]
South African wedding day 2: The Wedding
Saturday, March 31st, 2007Our job as wedding photographers at Breathe, is to look for something unique on the day. A scene, an emotion, light falling in an interesting pattern upon the couple and so on. All weddings are special and with the added benefit of some incredibly powerful scenery, this had all the hallmarks of a fabulous day’s […]
A South African wedding
Thursday, March 29th, 2007I think it would be fair to say that we get to know the couples we photograph at weddings fairly well - and that’s advantageous. As photographers, our professional task is to document an extremely personal and intimate event. Knowing our couples then, is an essential ingredient for the successful execution of such an important commission. […]
March image of the month
Thursday, March 1st, 2007I’ve chosen one of my favourite ‘bronzed’ images from a wedding this month. This is Lesley Waite, about an hour or so before she became Lesley Pattinson, at Highclere Castle in Hampshire. It’s not a posed moment, infact I think we were chatting generally about cosmetics, or something equally left field. Lesley was leaning into her honeymoon […]
Best Man duties and a tale of woe
Sunday, February 25th, 2007Okay, the definitive list is as follows, although don’t panic chaps; much of this will have been taken care of by bride, groom and associates to the day. Organise suit fittings and pay for the privilege! Organise the stag party and if appropriate pay for the groom. At the very least, be the conduit for […]
Star Trek as a wedding march?
Saturday, February 24th, 2007Hey, well done you guys… and thanks for inviting us to be your wedding photographers. I’m sincerely flattered by the opportunity a couple bestow upon us to record their special day. I’ve written in blogs before that it’s not the easiest photographic task, because it comes with a great deal of responsibility. I’m even more […]
A Valentine’s wedding
Wednesday, February 14th, 2007As Stewart’s groom’s speech suggested, “This is either the most romantic day of the year to get married, or a great way to remember Valentine’s Day and your wedding anniversary in one.” The Swan at Streatley was today’s venue for Stewart and Lucy May’s wedding. If you’re reading this blog as a newly engaged couple, the […]
Annabel Berry wedding portrait
Sunday, February 4th, 2007Yesterday we photographed Mike and Annabel Berry’s wedding in Windsor. One of the most rewarding moments for us is the morning after, when we download our discs from the cameras, to archive and start the post production process in order to produce a wedding album. Off the first disc from Annabel’s home in the morning, I’d shot some […]
