Katie & Andrew’s Wedding – East Harling Norfolk

The penultimate wedding of the year saw me heading down to East Harling near Thetford for the wedding of Katy and Andrew. November is a tricky time for weddings with the unpredictable weather and dark evenings but Andrew and Katy were extremely lucky, the sun shone for most of the day and even with a 3pm ceremony we got some cracking late afternoon light as we came out of the church. It was then back to the reception venue for a fantastic firework display, some great speeches and some very enthusiastic dancing ;@)

Here’s a few of my favourites from their day

Introductory Photography Tuition – A Six Week Course Starting in January

Over the years many people have asked me if I offer photographic training either specifically in wedding photography or just in general photographic techniques. It’s always been something at the back of my mind but to date I’ve never really done much about it (until now). I’ve decided to dip my toe in the water by offering a six week introductory course to be held here at the studio. The course will be aimed at beginners who may have only ever used auto-modes on their camera but who now wish to take more control and to learn the fundamentals of digital photography.

The first couple of sessions will cover theory to ensure that students have a basic understanding of concepts such as exposure, ISO, white balance, aperture and shutter speeds but after this I’m hoping that the course content can be tailored to reflect the wishes of those attending. Whatever your interest I’m sure you will learn a lot and your photography will come on in leaps and bounds.

The first session will be on the 17th January at 6:30pm and will then run weekly for the next five weeks. Each session will last an hour and a half and the only requirement is that you have a digital compact or SLR camera. If you’d like to attend or just find out more please call me on 01603 737509.

Pre-wedding Shoot Winterton, Norfolk

As the main summer wedding season draws to a close I thought I’d post a few pictures from Cherry and Ralph’s pre-wedding shoot that we did up at Winterton on the Norfolk coast (and where Ralph proposed). Cherry and Ralph are getting married in the period between Christmas and New Year in Norwich and wanted a pre-wedding shoot in order for them to feel more comfortable in front of the camera (although they really didn’t need to – they were complete naturals!).  The shoot was a few weeks ago when Autumn had very much set in and we had to dash in to the cafe at Winterton a few times to avoid heavy rain showers. When the rain eased off however the cloud formations were spectacular.

For those who follow this blog for the lighting techniques, many of these images were shot with my favourite Elinchrom Ranger Quadra setup using just the frosted diffuser panel – any questions just add a comment below.

Cherry and Ralph – here’s hoping for some similar weather for your wedding!

Jack & Nichole – The Red Barn Kings Lynn

Jack and Nichole’s wedding was on one of those beautiful late summer/early autumn days when it’s still lovely and warm but when the Autumn colours begin to emerge and the evenings begin to draw in. The wedding ceremony and reception were both held at the Red Barn in Kings Lynn and the barn was beautifully decorated by Jack, Nichole and their families the day before with peacock feathers being the dominant theme. Here are some favourite images from their day.
