PR Photography for Focus New Media

As a wedding photographer in Essex and Hertfordshire my core business revolves around the wedding season, but as the season quietens down I am often asked to take on other photographic assignments. I was contacted by the Bristol based web development company Focus New Media asking if I could take some PR shots as they have just opened a East of England branch in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.

Having Butterflies about your wedding day?

Whilst photographing a wedding on Sunday at Braxted Park it was quickly apparent that the Bride liked the idea of Butterflies as a theme on her wedding day and she had really gone to some effort with it.

Weddings Far and Away

Having this recent blog facility has given me a new place to showcase some of my more exotic weddings from the archives. As you may have read, I was lucky enough to photograph a wedding in Zurich, Switzerland a couple of weeks ago. This however wasn’t my first taste of photographing abroad. A couple of seasons ago I was honoured to photograph a good friends’ wedding in the beautiful island of St. Lucia.

This made an absolutely fantastic setting for Becky and Neil’s wedding day which was set overlooking the bay. CLICK FOR FULL STORY OF "Weddings Far and Away…"

Business in Switzerland

I am very excited as I am in Switzerland for a wedding which takes place this coming weekend. I had a bit of time to see some of the sights of Zurich from the top of a forest close to where I am staying.

The walk up through the forest was great and should have loosened my legs ready for the wedding. CLICK FOR FULL STORY OF "Business in Switzerland…"

Another new venue to visit

One of the great things about being a photographer is the constant availability of new locations which in turn provides new photographic opportunities. One of my weddings which I will be photographing in July takes place at Brickendonbury Conference Centre which by the name lead me to a vision of a modern, government style building which would have very little outdoor opportunities. How wrong was I! This venue is new to weddings but from my visit last week is a gem set deep in the Hertfordshire countryside in a recently restored, but very traditional country house. As for the grounds, I was very impressed and could visualise wedding photograph locations with ease!

The grounds were well maintained and whilst walking around the venue with the Bride and Groom it instantly became apparent that this would a great setting for their wedding day. CLICK FOR FULL STORY OF "Another new venue to visit…"

Because you’re Worth it!

As part of my wedding preparations, I usually visit the venues around 6 weeks prior to the wedding date to get an understanding of the layout and where the best photographic opportunities are. This visit can be with the couple if they wish, or I go and meet a key person from the venue who is aware of the couple’s format on the day. I feel it is important to do these preparations as it removes any uncertainties prior to the day.

Yesterday I went to Knebworth Barns, which is part of the Knebworth House estate for a pre-wedding visit. After a full tour of the location, I now have a much better understanding of how I can logistically arrange the wedding photographs. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and will provide me with an endless number of beautiful backdrops for the photography. Watch this space for a selection of photographs from the wedding day which will appear in a few weeks time. Below is just a taster of what’s to come.
