May 2nd 2015 Les and Jo - Southwood Hall

I've known Les for years, he was at school with my brother, and was my football manager for a couple of years too. So it was nice when I was asked to photograph his and Jo's wedding at Southwood Hall. With a nod here and there from his postman background, and a flourish of beautiful colours, they made the venue their own. I don't think I've seen a bride and groom laugh so much as Les and Jo either, it was a wonderful wedding to be a small part of.

An absolutely perfect venue for a wedding, a beautiful setting that transforms throughout the day to accommodate the changes.

Here are some photographs from their wedding:

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.
