The trials and tribulations of a wedding photographer Part 1

I love being a wedding photographer! To be the trusted photographer to record one of the most important and happiest days of someone’s life is such an honour – and a huge responsibility, of course. Sometimes everything doesn’t go exactly to plan, though. Oh, what the heck, let’s be honest: at every wedding there’s something…

Barn wedding in Essex – wedding details

I photographed two weddings this week. First one was Amy and Steve’s wedding at Crondon Park Golf & Country Club in Essex. They had a beautiful barn venue there for weddings, and as I got there early, I was like a kid in a candy shop shooting lots of photos of the room and table decorations….

Buxted Park wedding sneak peek

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Georgina and Rob’s wedding at Buxted Park, East Sussex. It was an unexpected winter wedding at the end of March, but Mother Nature was forgiven in the afternoon as she gave us some lovely sunlight just before sunset.

Before I started photographing weddings as the main photographer, I worked as a second photographer at a number of weddings. This was one of the…

Wedding photographer in Kent – pre-wedding shoot with Susan and Chris

In a couple of weeks’ time I will be photographing Susan and Chris’s wedding in Kent. The other day we met up to talk about their plans for their wedding, and I also got to meet the two teenage daughters who apparently will be a challenge to make smile in photos! Haha – I do…

Wedding photographer in West Sussex – wedding albums for everyone

After attending SWPP (Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers) convention in London last week, I decided that I will change my wedding photography packages to include an album with every full day booking. I know for a fact that not all my past wedding couples have got round to creating wedding albums for themselves, as…
