Sharing the New Video Option



I am pleased to be able to share with you my new video option to view your photographs.


A video of your day can be made specifically for you and set to the music of your choice.  Its another way to share your photographs and bring back some favourite memories of your special day.


I do hope you enjoy

Finally ...... work out how to use Blogger and solve its frustrating image quality problem!!!

I have been very frustrated by blogger image quality and for many months and been preparing to jump ship to wordpress to gain a higher quality image!  After a lot of Googling I have finally solved my problem! Yippieeeee.... was getting very frustrated in taking beautifully sharp images, taking time processing to then have Blogger ruin all my efforts.


I hope you will take a look at my recent blog 'Sneek peek - Quorn Grange' and notice how much sharper the image is compared to the previous posts.......


I now have a new string to my bow..... HTML coding, who would have thought!! can't say I'm a pro yet but relieved to finally get the answer.


Here's to many more sharp images of my beautiful clients - weddings and portraits.  I now hope I can do them justice in showing there fantastic images off!

Sneek Peek - Quorn Grange, Christine and Jon

I had a delightful day at Quorn Grange in Leicestershire photographing Christine and Jon's special day.  Lovely weather meant we had the ceremony within the grounds in a beautiful picturesque pergola.  Here is a sneak peek at things to come......

Following on from my last post I wanted to share with you the business and leisure shots Tamara had taken with me shooting the behind the scenes footage.  Off camera flash for the Business shots was all that was required to capture Amy under the umbrellas in the gardens of Auberge du Lac

Miss Hertfordshire 2010 - Behind the Scenes (Part 1)


I had the pleasure of being asked to assist with a photoshoot at the stunning Auberge du Lac in Brocket Hall alongside the lovely Tamara Kusminski.  

I met Tamara on my recent visit to Bristol with the   The Photography Parlour.  The photoshoot was for the newly crowned Miss Hertfordshire - Amy Green.  Amy had won the photoshoot with Tamara by gaining the title of Miss Hertfordshire 2010.  Tamara wanted some behind the scenes shots of how the day went. 

I hope you take a look at the selection of shots and can see how much fun and work goes into a set up, lighting and composition.

The first set of photographs were to capture natural portraits for Amy to use for her commercial portfolio.

My lovely 'Moo' business Cards

New in (or in fact 'moo in') - Just received my latest batch of business cards. So far I have found Moo and stuck with them.  As a photographer they are just perfect. Its like carrying around a mini portfolio of my work that I can whip out in an instant and show prospective clients just what my work looks like, I make sure I have a range of wedding and portrait ........ let me know if you would like one!

Greenwoods Wedding

I was pleased to be asked to photograph my cousins wedding in August and happily said 'yes please'.  A great couple had a wonderful day, the sun shone and family and friends enjoyed the ceremony in the gardens of Greenwoods Hotel .  The beautiful flowers for the day were supplied by Mandy Boley - Florist tel 07876636552


The reception was a delightful buffet and we all had drinks on the terrace before dancing to a live band.
Enjoy.......................

Before the big day...................


I had the pleasure in photographing friends who are going to be married in September at Billesley Manor, to put them at ease in front of the camera I always like to go on a pre shoot before their big day.  This way they understand how we will work and can feel comfortable with my directions - to be honest most couples it comes very naturally and little intervention is required.  It was a sunny day with lots of various areas to take some beautiful shots.  Here are a few of my favourites...... enjoy x
