April 18th 2015 Marion and Nick - Puppet Theatre and Arts Centre, Norwich

It's amazing to get the chance to photograph at such unique locations, and The Puppet Theatre and Arts Centre in Norwich were exactly that. Marion and Nick of course, put their own twist on the venues, with a touch of Comic Books and a dash of Dinosaurs.

It's intriguing to see how these spaces can be set up for weddings, and it's a great challenge to photograph in these conditions too. I cannot be happier that I did a lot of research, and thorough thoughts on what combinations of lenses and cameras would suit the venues best.

Earlier in the year, I purchased a Canon 135mm f2, and along with the 50mm 1.4, not only can you create great depth, but you can get excellent shots. I actually found it was still possible to get good use out of my 24-105 with my 6D, but had to be used with care.

Below are a small sample of photos from the day. Marion and Nick were a lovely couple, who, along with friends and family, made us feel welcome and we really loved being a part of their day.

11th April 2015 Sara and Ian - Alburgh Church and Earsham Hall

It was October 2012 when Heather and I had our wedding reception at Earsham Hall. So when friends Sara and Ian asked us to photograph their wedding at the same venue, we were delighted. They also have a daughter who is only a couple of weeks younger than our Ava.

Their ceremony was at Alburgh Church, which is where Sara grew up. The vicar there, was an old school teacher of mine too...who arrived on his motorcycle. He was as entertaining as I remembered.

It was really nice to go back to Earsham Hall, it's run by the wonderful Annabel, who Sara used to work for. I've known Sara since I can remember, so enjoyed catching up with her and the family (when I wasn't working of course!).

We got married in cooler conditions, so was a nice change to see the hall in a different light.

Here are some photos from their day:
