Blog... - Oct 2011

It's been a while since I had the pleasure of covering a Parklands wedding and I was delighted to be booked by Sarah & Luke for their special day at the end of October.

After a murky start to the morning, beautiful Autumn sunshine took over and made the occasion complete. The day had a double celebration too - it was also Luke's birthday and he was surprised to have a birthday cake presented at the end of the speeches.

Parklands is a wonderful venue for a wedding and I think everyone was impressed by the palatial surroundings. It made the perfect setting for Sarah & Luke to tie the knot.

Here's a sneak peak at some of my favourite images so far...

Last week I was delighted to help my good friend Amanda of Haverhill's Amanda Julia Couture with creating some images for the forthcoming evening wear season.

The designer evening gowns featured are by D'zage and Venus and modelled by the lovely Mersedes. See the gowns for yourself at Amanda's unique bridal shop in Haverhill - 1b Queen Street, above Bottom Drawer.

Here's a few examples of what was achieved...

I'm having a busy time at the moment with location portrait sessions at local parks and woods, and I'm trying to blog as many as I can to give everyone a flavour of what I've been up to and what can be achieved in the great outdoors.

This session from last week made the most of a glorious Autumn morning and Lucy and John and their beautiful family enjoyed being introduced to this local beech wood. The children were wonderful! Thank you for coming over.

At this time of the year it makes a glorious setting for location portraits, so if you'd like to book a session like this please contact me as soon as possible - we have to work around the weather and we need to make the most of what time we have.

As usual, here's a quick peek at a few that have caught my eye...

Location portraits at local parks, woods, gardens etc are proving really popular this autumn, and here we are with a summary of another shoot at Clare Country Park, this time for Kiera & Branham.

On our way to the park the late afternoon sun was replaced by gloomy clouds, but it didn't stop us being able to capture a good range of portraits. Kiera and Branham's Dad couldn't make our session, but Mum did and I managed to persuade her get her into a few shots too! Thanks Shell!

Here's a few of my favourites...

With only two weeks to go until their wedding day we took advantage of the Autumn sunshine to meet up at East Town Park for some colourful pre-wedding portraits.

Despite Sarah feeling poorly she made the most of the occasion and in between evading the dog walkers and joggers we managed to make some lovely images that will not only serve as a lasting memory but also help all of us come wedding day. It's really beneficial for couples to experience the picture taking process; it makes the photographer's role a little easier too. For the sake of an hour or so it's time well spent.

Sarah and Luke will be married at the beautiful Parklands, Quendon Hall, a perfect setting for an October wedding. See you on Saturday!
