Nicky & Lee – Pre-wedding photography at Erddig Country Estate

Our first pre-wedding shoot of the year with Nicky and Lee was at a very muddy Erddig Country Estate which is near Wrexham.  We use Erddig quite a lot for family sessions as well as pre-wedding shoots because its such a large area there is always something different we can use and add variety to the pictures.  It was a lovely crisp winters day which had beautiful light for photographs and would have made a nice wedding day, but I’m sure Nicky and Lee would like it a little warmer for their wedding at Carden Park in April.

 

 

Beckie, Matt, Daisy & Max the dog!

Even though it’s winter its still nice to get out of the studio and here’s a few of my favorites from Beckie’s family shoot down in Erddig a couple of weeks ago,  they have ordered some beautiful large canvases for their home and I cant wait to see them.

 

Sarah & Chris – Wedding at the Lion Quays

I still have a few weddings to post from the back end of 2011, so here’s 20 of my favorite pictures from the lovely wedding of Sarah and Chris.  Rachel started the day with Sarah at her parents house whilst I met up with Chris and his groomsmen at the Church.  Chris is a fireman and so we were joined by a huge fire engine which did cause a few problems on the narrow roads by the church.  It was then off to the Lion Quays near Oswestry for the reception, we just got the pictures done before the heavens opened so pretty good planning by all I think.

 

 

Natalie – Creative Day at the Studio

Happy New Year!  Sorry about the lack of updates but just had the best Christmas ever so no time to update the blog:)

Anyway new year and here we go again, a lovely collection of weddings throughout this year to look forward to and studio and location shoots too.  This year I have decided where I can to put some time in my diary each month for creative days.  Creative days?  These are basically days when I can just shoot for myself, to practice new skills and techniques and build my personal portfolio.  So this week Natalie came into the studio and I tried to create some ‘film noir’ style images.  I have added a bit of grain to the pictures as they are being printed and I really wanted that film look.  Hope you like them, and I will start blogging more from my creative days as the year goes on.

 

Hazel & Mark – Wedding at Chirk Castle

Hazel and Mark’s beautiful wedding was at the end of the summer but with the workload we have had this year I have only just got around to blogging it.  Rachel started the day with Hazel at her home near Llangollen and as you can see from some of the first pictures in this section it is a beautiful location.  Hazel was then taken by vintage rolls to the ceremony at Chirk castle where Mark was waiting.  After a drinks reception at the castle it was off to Wem for the wedding breakfast at the old rectory, later in the evening we were treated to the wem carnival procession past the venue and it ended what was a great day.
