Judy and Tom — Wedding Photography in Stansted, Essex
Posted by: | CommentsNever before had I used the expression “watch the finger”. But clearly with the crowd at Judy and Tom’s wedding it became a catch phrase I’ll never be able to escape from. Of course before Judy and Tom’s wedding I had never had my head rubbed like a rappers scratch deck either so I’ll chalk it up to a series of firsts. Or was it just because it was only my second Essex wedding. Only the photography gods will know!
Dad writes the speech…he said to me “I’ve had 14 months to write this…suppose I should get on it”. You don’t say!
I debated including this shot a 1000 times. In the end, I love it. It ain’t everyones cuppa, but I do have a safe shot in the bog — sorry bag.
The things people leave lying around!
I’m having a strong draw to edge lighting and silhouettes today…FYI.
Surely that’s some sort of secret handshake!
Some folks might wonder why I totally love this shot….if you aren’t wondering, perhaps you should give me a call :)
Dad, presumable the speech complete, grabs his hat and hits the road
Now known as the Judy 5
Tom wastes no time and enjoys a quick kip….
….or perhaps just saves himself for a full on Judy smile offensive
Glory Days!
Cocktails on arrival
Part of the unique candy/music theme. Rachmaninov, Grohl, Hetfield, Cash — that’s quite a bit of diversity!
Nan…gotta love her!
In the shot known as “abducted by aliens”
Forescore and seven years ago…(the best men practice their speech)
Stay off the A13…its a car park out there! (no, most of you won’t get it)
Crikey…I’ve seen a few good DJs in my time. But the chaps at Gemini Sounds had the most incredible light set up. They even gave a bit of spice to the speeches. See more later!
Google Grass View
No…I’m not trying to pick a fight. It was there…they were there…blahdy blah.
D-I-S-C-Oh my!
The guys at Gemini never really let me ‘sneak around’ (I’m not complaining)
The skills, precision and extreme anticipation known as “holy cow…how did that happen”
After an hour and half, she went all trance on me!

Children’s Portrait Photography – Central London
Posted by: | CommentsI’ve been getting into a bit more portrait photography sessions lately. Its great when clients (and in this case parents) are a bit more insightful into the types of images they would like. For me its a bit of home ground advantage because this is the kind of fun stuff I’ve been doing with Evan for years. Of course, when you roll up and meet kids you’ve never laid eyes on for the first time it helps having a bit of CBBC knowledge to hand. Can you say ice breaker! Fortunately for me these guys were more than willing just to get on with it. I became an expert in Nintendo DS, backyard cricket and learned that photos from beneath the trampoline probably weren’t worth it.
This is why I reckon Evan might be wanting one of these in a few years time
Cheesy photographic background or a cherry tree in full sunlight…you be the judge
Finally the 2 year old gets into the action
This was one of mine and their mum’s favourite image of the session…ironically it was the very last frame!

Funny Thing About Blogging…
Posted by: | Commentson the Monday after a wedding. You rarely get enough time to find all the things you like. Its often not until you really start plugging through the set do you come across something that really captivates your attention…perhaps in a not so obvious way. Or you find something that you never noticed when you took the photo that suddenly makes you laugh out loud…then starts the moral dilemma…do you keep it or let it go.
This post is useless without photos…so here you go:
First…the happy accident.
Ladies…Earn Brownie Points
Posted by: | CommentsTonight, whilst having a spot of tea and wondering what can you engage your man in conversation that doesn’t include Barack Obama or forthcoming nuptuals try this.
“You know honey what I love most about Formula 1″
(expect a glazed but amazed look)
“What’s that dear?”
“Its the fact that every race is 3 races in one. You got the result on the day, the result that emerges a bit later on (sometimes twice in one week) and the result that is finally declared once the lawyers hash it out in the courtroom. Great drama that!”
At this point he’s like butter in you hands (is that an expression?).
It seems clear to me that the FIA simply hate Lewis Hamilton. They were totally miffed that with a bad car he still came third. So, what is one to do…change the result to suit Bernie and the boys. Besides, their beloved Ferrari didn’t do diddly! Link here
