Image of the week | “Getting Ready”

Love this shot of Leanne getting ready ahead of her wedding to Dominic last month in Sheffield. Leanne was a picture of calmness – in spite of the fact that a broken zip in her mum’s dress with just 15 minutes to go before the ceremony began meant that the same could not be said of everyone else!

Sarah & Zak | A Danby Castle Wedding ~ North Yorkshire

I shared a shot from Sarah & Zak’s North Yorkshire wedding a few weeks ago as part of my regular ‘Image of the Week’ series. Sarah and Zak’s wedding had it all ~ beautiful sunshine, a vintage VW Camper, love, singing (lots of singing) and laughter…..

Zak and Sarah were married in April. The weather leading up to the wedding had been awful and I was expecting the worst. However, we couldn’t have been luckier on the day and I can honestly say that Zak and Sarah’s wedding was one of the most natural and fun weddings that I’ve ever had the privilege of photographing. I’ll be featuring the full wedding soon….

I’ve been super busy recently with the onset of the new wedding season. Lots of fabulous weddings and wonderful new couples. I’ll be showcasing some more complete weddings soon. In the meantime, my ‘image of the week’ series has been sorely neglected of late and so I’m kickstarting it with this photograph taken earlier on this month when I had the pleasure and privilege of photographing Dominic and Leanne’s wedding at Kenwood Hall in sheffield. It’s a simple shot taken during Leanne’s preparations but I love the quality of the natural light that was streaming into the room. These are my favourite kind of shots really, not posed, not planned; just capturing the moment.

I shoot digital at all of the weddings that I photograph. I prefer digital over film for weddings because of the freedom that it gives me to experiment with shots and instantly judge is something is working out or not. However, my love is for film and all things film related and so whilst I try to do as little post processing as possible, I aim to capture some of the ‘feel’ that film has in the final images that I deliver to my couples. Sometimes however, I bring along one of my old film cameras along to a wedding and fire off a roll or two. Sometimes, no matter how much you can fake that ‘film’ effect, there’s nothing like the real thing…..
