London Wedding Photographer – Joanne and Earl – Fab 4 + 1

Rob — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 08:41:50 +0000

I really didn’t like calling Earl, Earl. You see, my brother in law (sister’s husband) is called Earl. No one, except his mom, calls him Earl…and to be fair she actually calls him Junior. So for an entire day, every time the word ‘Earl’ came out of my mouth I was expecting a correction. Then again Earl called me Robert all day. The only person who ever called me that was my mom too. Usually when she was angry.

Hey…want to see more…pop on over to the Facebook Preview Gallery to see a few more.

Today I seemed to gravitating to the dark and moody. Not sure…must be the dull weather.

Me love windows at top of stairs (to the side of course)

Get out the Geiger counter…those flowers are radioactive!

I smell a law suit from the mad Armenian coming on!

There’s a Bride and Groom in there….honest!

Pre-Wedding Shoot – London – Emma and Effi

Rob — Thu, 27 May 2010 14:15:34 +0000

So far the rebel youth hasn’t been in contact to ask for image rights. I’m safe…for now. But I do want to share a bit more of the shoot I did with Emma and Effi last week in London. I’m sure we picked the busiest day in history. With the fabulous weather and the fact it was a Friday I’m sure there thousands more people around than normal. Saying that, I reckon it worked just fine…who doesn’t like a challenge? Due to time constaints I’m not going to be making excessive comments today. I’ll be joining Emma and Effi in Tel Aviv for their wedding soon…time for lots of comments then :)

Pre-Wedding Shoot in London – Emma and Effi – Just One

Rob — Sat, 22 May 2010 08:15:43 +0000

I wouldn’t normally do a Just One from a pre wedding shoot. But then sometimes…there’s just something that you never planned for that suddenly pops into your viewfinder and you can’t hold it back. OK…I’ll admit, this may never end up on their wall. Working in the thick of it all is often annoying, but when it deals you lemons, make a Tom Collins! More next week…no weddings this weekend.

Rebel yutes!

Wedding Photographer London – Natalie and Marcus

Rob — Mon, 17 May 2010 16:05:03 +0000

Funny…I was just looking on Natalie’s Facebook news feed and someone called Marcus ‘Marcoos’. I’m wondering if they too are referring to that Eddie Murphy film where the aging vixen calls him ‘Marrr-coooos’. Never mind. Saturday’s epic journey took us to London…the big smoke, up town, Londres. Waterloo was especially interesting given all the football fans en route to the FA cup final. Unlike last year, our trip to London didn’t involve lots of public transportation nightmares and even if they did we were prepared to take them head on.

Working at Temple Church was an amazing experience to say the least. The reception took place at The Delfina. An amazing venue space in a converted chocolate factory. The lightening engineers did some amazing work (even if it was nearly impossible for us to work in…ok, not impossible, but pretty ‘interesting’). Saying that, what we’ve got, in my opinion is bloody brilliant given the environment (photographically…I must emphasise my basis is from a purely photographic viewpoint). By far the darkest space I’ve worked in. But let’s just let the photos do the talking. You might think based on my comments I would never go back…and you’d be wrong. I loved it!

Best of luck to Natalie and Marcus and have a great honeymoon

D-I-S-C-O! Actually it wasn’t…there was a band… an AMAZING band called Fake Tan. I think you have to have a serious set of ‘ahems’ to open up a set with Duran Duran ‘Hungry Like the Wolf’. But these guys clearly did have that set and it rocked. Totally rocked. I can now add these guys to the list of my all time top bands (along with The All-Stars and Madhen). Totally brilliant!

And a few from my Rockstar sidekick…DARREN!

Darren would like to say that Delfina lighting was a walk in the park compared to the cellars at the Ye Old Cheshire Cheese pub

London Wedding Photography – Natalie and Marcus – Just One

Rob — Sun, 16 May 2010 19:26:25 +0000

Sure…I could find a few images to make the Just One for Natalie and Marcus’ London wedding on Saturday. I could even tell you a few things about the one I picked that just don’t sit that well with me…but ultimately what does sit well with me is the way she (in this case not Natalie) jumps off the screen at me. So I suppose being a sucker for great light I nominate today’s Just One.

Wedding Photographer London – Lisa and Michael

Rob — Tue, 04 May 2010 13:48:24 +0000

London weddings always scare me. Ok…not really. But its that moment when you let go of your own transport and turn to public transport that things start to scare me. Like last year when the tube was closed when I was trying to get to Pimlico. Hence why I arrived an hour early to make a 3 mile taxi journey. Shame I didnt look at the map in terms of walking and not in driving as it wasn’t more than 20 minutes. Duh!

Friday’s wedding was always going to be unique. I wasn’t disappointed.. I would travel to 3 venues by taxi and boat. Its a far cry from my barn experiences. Everything went along smoothly…a little too smoothly. Then we boarded the boat. By then it was too late to mention I get seasick. Thankfully the boat trip from Orleans House to The Wharf only encountered a Force 2. What made the boat trip really unique was that we were going to be having speeches. I imagined each speech would start off with sometime nautical. “Women and children first” or “I’m the king of the world” or “We’re going to need a bigger boat”. Sadly none happened. My days as a speechwriter are surely numbered.

Eventually we saw land…the Thames is big you know…and the baying cannibals rushed off. A narrow escape me thinks. Lucky for them a tasty bit of beef awaiting them at The Wharf, Teddington. Speaking of which…wow…great food. Shame its an hour from home. I would love to pop in there on a quiet weekend.

Thanks to Lisa and Michael — a referral from Cara and Alex (where were you?) — have a great honeymoon in FLA.

London Wedding Photographer – Lisa and Michael – Just One

Rob — Sat, 01 May 2010 05:16:26 +0000

I hate being up this early. Ughh…Thank goodness I don’t have a wedding today. I’m up because I’m feeling rather unwell. I want to ralph…but I can’t. TMI!

One benefit is that I get to peruse yesterdays London and Teddington wedding of Lisa and Michael. A referral from Cara and Alex (who I didn’t actually see before I left…bummer — where were you guys?) from December 2008. Tough decision as to what to use…that’s got to be a good thing, right? More on Tuesday. It’s a Bank Holiday you know!

Originally I went for a focused beam of light…didn’t really work, so I spread it wide not thinking about the shadow…at first I was ‘bothered’ by it then I felt it was a happy accident

Funny Thing About Blogging…

Rob — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 13:53:00 +0000

on 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.

And second…the “why didn’t I see that BEFORE I took the photo, LOL moment and moral dilemma image”

(please send all hate mail regarding the fact you can’t get ‘Gold’ out of your head to supercalifragilisticexpialidocious@sh00tinghip.com)

Anywho, I promised Darren photos from Saturdays wedding…in fact, I promised them from yesterday and didn’t do it…well, I did but its a long story. So given that, here you go!

a little extra jiggery pokery and this is great scene setter

Great to know I can leave him outside whilst I get set up inside

I went tight, he went wide…and no that’s not a euphamism

After his success last time with a bus mirror he tried to replicate it…almost there, but since its the FOB I know the client will like it

For me…this is the better bus shot

Tuning into expression…sweet

NOW FOR A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!

If you see this man, do not approach him!
