A lovely Pre-Wedding Photography Session along the beach of West Wittering on a cold Sunday morning. Who says that one can only take good pictures outside when it’s sunny and warm? Mya didn’t bother at all and she had great fun sitting on daddies shoulders and nibbling on a shell. A pre-wedding photography session is always a fantastic opportunity to build up a relationship with my wedding couple before the great day.
And another lovely wedding day at the Tithe Barn near Petersfield in Hampshire. Clare and Paul ordered a wonderful day in between all the rainy days before and after their wedding. Despite Paul being a bit nervous about the day (which is of course understandable) he was a caring host and made sure everybody was happy. For a change I photographed the grooms preparation instead of the bride. Oh, and guess what, the grooms brother was not only the best man but he is also a ‘proper’ photographer. When he produced his real camera (a Rolleicord twin reflex medium format) I suddenly felt a bit sad about my shiny digital gear. Yes digital is a great medium but real film has something which cannot be replaced by digital … oh oh no flames please – all I’m saying is that film can give you a completely different view on photography (and yes, I love my film and I still use it!). Anyway, Clare and Paul are a lovely couple and I wish them all the best for their future.
I just had some very special guests from Scotland visiting my studio for another portrait session. Now, obviously not just coming from Scotland to have some more pictures taken – that would be a bit over the top. They came to visit friends here in Petersfield and thought it might be a nice idea to pop in and introduce their latest family member Angus. His sisters Elizabeth and Kate are very special to me as I have photographed them about two years ago and the pictures from that session have caused lots of attention from all sides. I have used them for promotional material and in public displays. It was so lovely to see them again and I must say that they haven’t changed alot und still are pretty angels. Angus had his own view on how a photography session should work… I guess it’s because he’s more used to the Scotish air!
