Last year I photographed 9 weddings at Cave Castle Hotel and I feel really closely connected to this fantastic venue as I live about 3 minutes around the corner. I often meet clients there and shoot quite a few wedding pre-shoots in the grounds. As a Hull wedding photographer, I photographed Rob and Mel’s wedding at The Castle last July (check out their wedding here) and had the pleasure of delivering their album to them just before the Easter break. Their album is an A4 sized coffee table style book with an aluminium plate cover and was a joy to put together. These are the spreads from the book and I hope you enjoy! If you would like to see my wedding portfolio head over to my website and take a look at Hull wedding photography for the discerning couple.
I recently blogged about the opening of my new specialist Yorkshire headshot and portfolio studio which is situated within the West 1 complex just off the A63 in Hull. In this small but ‘cosy’ environment, I’m able to work really closely with artistes/actors and actresses who are looking for a dynamic set of portfolio images to take their marketing and self promotion to the next level. I recently met Leroy Vickers at an event I was photographing where he was performing – he’s an unbelievably talented singer who performs a number of different acts – a lot of people will have seen him as part of the 4-piece opera group ‘Ti Amero’ or performing as a solo artist lending his hand to amazing ‘Rat Pack’ and Enrique Iglesias tributes.
These are just a handful of images from the day which show how dynamic looks can be achieved in a small space – size is not always everything!
It was great to work with Leroy, he came with a bunch of ideas on looks he wanted to achieve so we worked through these in the 3 hours we spent in the studio and he walked away with the images he wanted. To hear him sing is really something else, I’m certainly going to be telling my wedding clients about him and if you would like to find out more head over to his website at www.leroyvickers.com
As a wedding photographer in Hull and East Yorkshire, I have the pleasure to meet and photograph some of the loveliest couples and their families in the world. I get to spend one the happiest days of their life with them and it’s just one of the reasons why I am so passionate about my work and looking after my clients. Every now and again, a couple come along that remind me that life is to be lived and savoured for each moment, none so much as Amy and Matthew. Lots of you who are reading this will no doubt know of the legend that was Matthew Davidson, you may have know him personally or professionally, I knew Matthew from an early age and my oh my was he ever a character! For those of you who didn’t know Matthew, he was one of the most successful hairdressers the UK has ever produced – a real artist of the highest order – and a complete professional. Matthew was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in January 2009 and passed away in July just a few months after he and his wife were married. I had the honour of photographing Matthew and Amy’s wedding back in April and it was definitely one of the highlights of my career so far – a real extravaganza and a total celebration of life. You can see my original blog post here which showcases their big day. I’ve been working with Amy for the last few months to put together an album that could tell such a vital and inspiring story. I usually ask my clients to chose around 60 images to tell their story over 40 pages – when Amy brought me her first round of selections, she had chosen 275! After a little bit of careful and selective editing, we were able to come to a final figure of 225 images and I knew this would be a colossal album! By the time the retouch was finished and I had assembling the layout it was at 80 pages – double to size of any album I have done before. Amy came to my office on Friday to collect her A3 album with an aluminium cover and also her Mum’s copy album which was an A4 size. The look on her face was priceless as she leaved through the pages and I imagined Matty looking down with a big grin! I’ve posted the pages from Amy’s album below and I hope that you will get a sense of how amazing this day was – enjoy.
As a East Yorkshire Wedding Photographer, I had a great day at Rise Hall yesterday with the preferred suppliers team, we all got together to shoot each others products/services in preparation for the new brochure which will be published in a few weeks time. I’ll be blogging more pictures when I’ve processed the images but for now, just a sneak peak from the breathtaking gallery area. Have a great weekend.
As a East yorkshire wedding photographer, I blogged about Nicky and Steve’s wedding at Carlton Towers back in October. You may remeber it was the hottest October day on record and it really was a fabulous day. It was a pleasure to see the happy couple over the weekend to deliver their finished album and I’ve posted the spreads of the pages below. I don’t usually start an album with a venue shot, but Carlton Towers has such a unique look and the wispy clouds in the sky made for such a dramatic opening – I couldn’t resist. Nicky and Steve chose an A4 album with a textured aluminium cover.
I hope you enjoyed sharing Steve and Nicky’s story from their big day at Carlton Towers, if you’d like to see more of my work, please take a look at my wedding portfolio.
