The type of vicar I like!

August 1st, 2008

My wedding last weekend was on the windiest day of the summer so far and Sam and Adam chose St Margaret’s in Downham for their service - a church which sits atop of one of the very few hills in Essex. Years ago I saw a photographer use clothes pegs to weight a veil - might be an idea to have a couple in the bag…….

My favourite shot of the day - just for novelty value is of the Vicar actually doing my job, rather than trying to stop me!

Award of Excellence at the MPA/BIPP Essex & Greater London Print Competition

July 4th, 2008

Entering a print competition is always nerve wracking, I’ve just entered my second one and pleased to say didn’t come away empty handed. The question is whether I’m brave enough to enter the British Professional Photography Awards in a few weeks time - we’ll see.

My award came form a print of Emma & Mark’s wedding shot at Leez Priory at the end of May. Thanks to them for making it such a lovely job!

Gemma & Rob, 14th March 2008

April 2nd, 2008

I spent last night with Gemma & Rob choosing images for their album. It’s always lovely to watch a couple’s reaction when seeing their photographs for the first time and I was really pleased that a sequence from the church service that I had loved were also amongst their favourites. For all of the vicars, priests and registrars out there who don’t allow photography during the ceremony - please reconsider!
