Evan and Holly’s Dad’s Blog

Hi and welcome to my blog. Filled with images from my recent weddings, engagement shoots, portrait sessions and corporate work. Most importantly its a window into my world...a world where family takes an upper hand and I have the images to prove it. Hopefully you'll take a few minutes to browse and once addicted set the blog as a bookmark. If you have any comments please feel free to add them or just get in touch.

For The Record: The images that I put on the blog from recent weddings may not always be the best or even ones you might expect. They are things that I saw, that I like that I want to share. Sometimes they are part of a quirky story or show a tender or ironic side to a wedding.

Surrey Wedding Photography – Sophie and Simon – Loseley House

By

This was my first visit to Loseley House.  A bit of a baptism by fire (or perhaps rain).  Just as I arrived at the venue from the bridal prep the heavens opened and hail stones crashed down.  For about 2 hours it was an interesting affair.  Thankfully Sophie, Simon nor the guests let it hamper their day and before long the skies were blue and clouds puffy white.  Its the kind of day that challenges a photographer most…going from pouring rain and darkness to blasting sunshine and contrasty shadows.  Hope you like what you see.

Had anyone made any sudden movements forward it could have been a doubled-over moment

There is something raw about this photo that I just love.  I can’t really explain it…but it gets right into me.

Shoes…its kind of like the smell of fresh bread on a Sunday morning or a warm fire on Christmas Eve.  Or perhaps I just have a fetish and should really just get over it….

I suspect there are going to be many camps who would think a) Why would anyone take this picture and b) for the love of God man…why would you put it on the blog.  If you know me you’ll know I’ll quite happily wax lyrical about a lot things…and yes, you’re going to get the reason why.   For me, I believe that I have different hats that I have to wear.  One of those hats is setting a context.  Its the reason I took a photo of Simon in the lobby of the hotel chatting to guests but focused on the Swine Flu advice sign…no, I didn’t blog it, I felt one ‘stretching’ image a wedding is probably enough.  It may, or may not be relevant that their wedding took place in the summer of Swine Flu.  Equally important are the items on the desk above.  Their collective message, not one of a close up, but rather as a perspective tell us a few things.  First, there’s rescue remedy.  A holistic stress ‘aid’.  Next is Night Nurse.  Was the Bride ill…no, but she couldn’t sleep and for the recond the Night Nurse did nothing to help.  Last is the Cow and Gate follow on milk…their son, Milo, is a just a wee nipper but all part of the wedding.  So…no, this ain’t gonna win an award or make others go “cracking job mate” but they (the couple) might see it…in a year or 5 or 10 years and if it brings those on the day feelings back then I’ve done my job…even if I didn’t worship the gods of great photography.

Fortunately most of the wedding venues I work in have a roof.  One of the USPs I offer to all my clients at no extra charge.

All set up for my usual dance shots, no one told S&S that they needed to stand a little closer to the flashes than 45 feet.  Doh!
