In This Moment | Take five

March 25, 2015

Karl and Orla's wedding at Lillibrooke Manor was just beautiful, I have so many images from their 2013 wedding which still have pride of place in my wedding photography portfolio. For me though, this image is by far my favourite. It was created during a ten-minute' walk and talk' halfway through the drinks reception - a simple process to help in the creation of exceptionally natural portraiture. For just a few moments Karl and Orla sat along the edge of the field, it was a particularly sunny, dry August that year so the conditions were ideal.

For me, this image represents what this stage of the day is about - taking a moment and spending a precious 5 to 10 minutes with each other before the second half of the day kicks off.

Love this.

Portrait Photography Session in Savernake Forest, Wiltshire

March 23, 2015

John and Beth's very candid engagement shoot took place in the stunning Savernake Forest on the outskirts of Marlborough in Wiltshire. These shoots are always very natural, I only give couples as many directions as I feel they really need. No cheesy shots. no uncomfortable posing - just a walk in the forest and the bi-product of that walk is beautifully natural portraiture.

Here are just a handful of my very favourites from the 45-minute shoot.

In This Moment | Proud

March 12, 2015

This has to be one of my favourite father and daughter shots, ever! It was created during a large Indian wedding at Northbrook Park in Surrey and it confidently sums the emotions felt during the final stages of the wedding day. It's such a proud moment for parents and I love this Surrey wedding photography as it captures the reaction of the father just at the right time - a truly beautiful moment.

It's not just about that look though, I'm also exceptionally fond of the range of black and white tones, these two elements are why this image has made it onto my 'In This Moment' series.
