Alice & Chris, York House, Twickenham, 5th...
An Autumn wedding in Twickenham on the 5th November with Alice and Chris. The promised rain thankfully stayed away and we managed to get some lovely shots.
Technically another difficult wedding with very low light for most of the shots. Virtually no ambient light in the church and the post church ceremony shots and portraits were basically taken at night! (5.00 ish for the portraits) Thank...

Felicty & Simon - 17th September 2011, Chiswick House
Despite a few showers most of the day passed off without rain, and we were lucky enough that when it cleared up we were able to shoot the large group shot outside on the steps of the very beautiful Chiswick House, (which was good because I didn’t fancy shooting it inside!)
Testimonial from Simon

Cayetana and Salman 27th August 2011

Nicola & Charlie Wedding
Well we had a great day on Saturday, took lots of beautiful photos and had one too many Peronis! Many thanks to Nicola & Charlie for being up for everything we tried!
It was a challenging wedding at times, with about 90% of the wedding shot inside. The Carlton Club is a great location, but not the easiest location to work in with fairly low light, especially when you are trying to shoot the...
Nicola & Charlie Wedding
Looking forward to shooting a London wedding tomorrow. Nicola & Charlie are getting married at The Carlton Club in St James St and then having a knees up at the Butcher’s Hook & Cleaver, Smithfield. Hopefully we won’t get the Pope in any of the shots!
Roast chicken & other stories!
Not really a wedding post, apologies to Vegetarians!
OK, I have cooked many, many roast chicken’s over the years, but tonight I think I have surpassed myself!
Using a recipe from Zuni Cafe (in San Francisco) for the chicken and bread salad, (using a free range organic bird). For the roast roast potatoes, small chunks of Maris Piper cooked in the left over fat from a tin of of duck confit...

DVD slideshow
I am really chuffed, having created TaylorBingham’s first audio-visual slideshow from wedding photos and made a DVD from it, which worked when I put it into my home DVD player! Unfortunately, I rendered it in HD, so it’s massive and I can’t really post it here! (I will when I reduce it’s file size).
It’s quite frankly, a bit amateurish (only a bit), but its taken me...

Graphistudio
Found this on the Graphistudio website:
“One of the essential strengths of Graphistudio is the quality and dedication of their staff of over 200, the majority of whom are female and have an average age of 28” (it’s an Italian company aswell!!!) The Monty Python quote: “Look, let me go back in there and face the peril” springs to mind!
Oh by the way, they also make...

Christina & Ben
Hello Ash, just checking your still ok meeting Christina & Ben at 11.00 for pre-wedding photos and general chat?
AAGGGHHH!
Think I’m going mad! Just spent 3 days re-doing all the meta tags, alt tags, title tags, meta names, meta descriptions, meta titles on our website. All my pages now show up green in the Meta tag Analyzer. I bet when that lazy arsed google bot re-crawls us in about a months time we will rank 9,328,791 under London wedding photographer, as opposed to 9,328,792. Still, passes the time.

Nicola & Charlie Pre wedding portrait
Met Nicola & Charlie on Friday evening, whose wedding we are shooting in September. We took the opportunity to take a few portraits in the nearby park (well…what can you do?)
Very lucky, had some beautiful light to work with and it was great that they could get to know us a bit and feel comfortable in front of the lens.
Tried out some new post-production techniques with Nik photoshop...

A short essay on John’s thought’s on Digital photography, wedding photojournalism & books.
Craftsmanship is not a word you hear too often these days when talking about photography. For all the huge benefits digital photography has brought us, it has also levelled the playing field; virtually anyone can now pick up a camera and produce good (or bad) pictures. I do sometimes wonder if most...
