Thursday, June 10th, 2010
Some may say rain on your wedding day is less than favourable luck. Being late to depart for the church at vintage speed carries a certain degree of fashionable attachment of course. If that wedding car breaks down, we’re back to less than favourable luck. The replacement car breaking down, certainly less than favourable. I blame myself of course. I think it’s because I commented upon how relaxed everything felt when arriving at the family home in the morning, that rain was sent along with mechanical mischief. But you know what? We all had a bloody good time!
Wasing Park wedding photography – Austen and Julie
Saturday, May 1st, 2010
I love a good wedding. I love a good black and white. For fear of accusation that I may be repeating myself, the simplicity of this medium and the attention drawn to composition and light when reproducing mono-chromatically is what makes the digital darkroom so exciting. In binary land, the process is thus. You usually start out with a full colour image, drag it through a series of black and white conversion techniques, digitally dodge and burn, fade and pop, then stand back and observe, perhaps even self congratulate – if only for a moment. For the print purists, it may not be the develop, fix and stop method where your clothes smell vinegary for a week after, but for me, the digitised darkroom excites me none the less. I expect to return a fairly decent count of colour images from weddings I shoot, but from Austen and Julie’s Wasing Park wedding, I’d just like to share some of the monochromes.
Wasing Park wedding photography – Neil and Mel
Sunday, April 25th, 2010
Here’s an accessory detail you’re unlikely to read about in bridal magazines. Mel’s hen party had included life drawing classes. Wedding day table name cards may not have seemed the obvious initial opportunity to display their collective artistic efforts, but it did serve as a great ice breaker at the tables.
Where are they now? Emmie and Alex, Silchester House
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009
I shoot a reasonable amount of weddings each year for professionals in the creative field, so being requested by a fellow wedding photographer to shoot her Silchester House wedding was flattering indeed. In Emmie’s words; “Our wedding day was the best day of our lives (we’re supposed to say that aren’t we?!) It was such a good day though and we enjoy looking back and remembering it all 16 months later. Alex is still counting bricks for a living (quantity surveying) although of late has been trying his hand (or should I say fists) at boxing and winning! I am still in photography and education. We still live in Tilehurst in our lovely little house with Mr Jinks the cat. No kids yet, we are far too busy enjoying ourselves!” So a few shots from their Silchester wedding that I enjoy, and my thanks to you both for keeping in touch.
Neale James, Breathe Pictures – preferred supplier Aldermaston Manor
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009
Nestled in grounds within a short march from the church I married Sam in, I’m ‘chuffed’ to be Aldermaston Manor’s preferred photographic supplier. So, a handful of images from the venue. Any questions about the house and grounds, fire them this direction.
Wasing Park wedding photography – Tom and Anna
Friday, June 19th, 2009
I’m spending a reasonable amount of my summer at Wasing photographing weddings and it’s a venue I’m very fond of. A couple of shots from Tom and Anna’s fabulous nuptials as the post edit work now begins. Quick mention too for Wasing Park chef extraordinaire, the wonderful Joe. I quite like, when given the opportunity, to get into the kitchen at a wedding. The wedding banquet is such an important facet of the big day and chef is an important player and unsung hero frankly. When the thanks are read out, the list of key players will oft include the coordinator, for good reasons clearly, but rarely chef. So Joe, incase you get to read this, you’re an absolute star, and I can’t wait to show you the book of stuff I’ve recorded in your kitchen over the last few months.
Wasing Park wedding photography – Robbie and Sarah
Sunday, June 14th, 2009
For fear of becoming a BBC repeat, I may have mooted this before; keeping up the blog is sometimes like keeping the diary you were bought for Christmas aged 9. (For some reason mine was always a Disney one featuring Mickey and friends. It continued that way well into my teens.) You diligently filled it in for ooh, a good seven days following New Year’s Eve, then it became a series of ‘Got up, had lunch, went to bed’ comments for week two and by week three, it transgressed to a doodle pad at best. However I have a blog guardian it seems in Robbie, who wed Sarah yesterday at Wasing Park. So, Robbie, your enthusiasm for updating noted, some images from yesterday. I look forward to seeing you when you return from your honeymoon in July.
