I knew from very early on that Chris and Kelly’s wedding would be a very emotional affair and I really wanted to put this across through their film….I remember speaking to Chris and his Dad on the evening of their wedding about how I would decide on a style to base the film. Read more →

Normally it’s a bride-to-be or on the odd occasion a husband-to-be who contacts me to discuss their wedding videography. On this occasion however it was Jamie’s (our groom) Mum who first gave me a call. I still to this day call her my biggest fan as I haven’t yet spoken to anyone as excited and as complimentary as she was!

Kim + Mike // Pre Wedding Photography
Good Afternoon my lovelies. Let me introduce the awesome Kim and Mike. In about two weeks time I shall be forgetting my usual wedding films for the day and will become an actual wedding photographer. Now don’t panic, I have done this before on many an occasion and have decided to return to my roots just for a week or two to embrace what was my first career in the wedding industry. Now, just so I could convince myself that I still know how to take a photograph I decided that I should meet the happy couple and take a few pre-wedding snaps. We met at the actual wedding venue and my aim was simple – to produce a set of photographs in which no one should really be able to recognise where the venue is. For this reason we spent most of the session, finding interesting sheds, porta-cabins and hiding in bushes whilst avoiding strange looks from the hotel guests. Anyways, I’m now happy that I can still take a photo and should be good to rock n roll in a fortnight for the big day.
My feature in Pure Weddings Magazine
Just thought I post a few sneaky pictures of my recent feature in Pure weddings Magazine. I’d completely forgot about submitting the info for this until we were walking through Tesco and I noticed the magazine on a shelf. The rest of the shopping trip was completed with a rather large grin on my face!! Anyway, if you can grab a copy, check it out. There’s quite a lot of information about the latest video trends for weddings, plus theres a few stills from my films in there too.

Trish + Rich // Linthwaite House Hotel Pre Wedding Photos
Trish and Rich agreed to meet myself and Wedding Photography genius Karli Harrison at their gorgeous wedding venue – The Linthwaite House Hotel in the Lake District. The plan was to talk about the details of the wedding video and photography that we’ll be carrying out in June for them, however we ended up strolling around the grounds to take a few pre-wedding photos.
Erin + Mark // The rope that binds us / Dalston Hall Lake District Wedding Video
The day of erin and marks w-day was the kind that you dream about as a wedding videographer / photographer. Perfect grounds, perfect weather, perfect people. Lake District weather around March is usually that of the rainy and windy kind. Today however, was somewhat different with a hazy wave of sunshine sweeping across the beautiful Dalston hall hotel.
When we arrived at Dalston Hall, we were introduced to Jenny & Keith, Erin and Mark’s wedding photographers for the day. This is always a slightly apprehensive moment for me as for most of the day you will be working closely together, often using the same equipment in the same environment and the importance of ‘getting on’ and sharing ideas, is in my humble opinion an absolute must. Jenny & Keith were awesome from the moment we met them. I need not blab about how ace their photography is – you can see this yourself by checking out http://www.mcavoyweddings.co.uk/ but for me, more importantly they were completely fantastic people. From the off they were helpful, full of ideas and were completely willing to work as a team with us for the remainder of the day. Thanks a million guys for making the day even more special.
After capturing a few moments from both Erin and Marks preparations we headed outside were clusters of guests sat around tables enjoying beers, the beautiful grounds and listening to the music that filtered outside from the ceremony room.
It really was the perfect day for a wedding.
Erin and Mark’s ceremony was a simple and beautiful affair. Tears, laughter and walking down the aisle to ‘should I stay or should i go?’ by The Clash made the whole thing just gorgeous.
After a delightful thirty minutes strolling through the grounds with the newlyweds it was time for speeches. Again, tears were shed, and laughter filled the air. Erin’s Dad, rather poignantly toasted the future whilst Mark, made a heartfelt thank you to Meg the Cat. It was left to the Best Man to wonder what first attracted Erin to Mark, complete with items of Marks, funky 90‘s clothing.
The evening ended with a superb firework display followed by bacon sandwiches and one last cheeky beer with the happy couple. I even discovered that despite now living over 100 miles from each other, i actually grew up just half a mile from Erin.
I need to thank once again the super talented Karli Harrisson for her help with this project. Not only did you capture some awesome shots and invent the ’mono-slider’ but also provided transport and much needed iced coffee.
Enjoy
