Vicki & Howard’s Wedding

Posted by James - Friday, 23rd April 2010

Weddings don’t really get much better than Vicki and Howard’s at Wynyard Hall. The very talented and lovely Pete and Laura of Lawson Photography allowed me to second-shoot for them and I enjoyed every minute! Vicki and Howard put so much thought into every part of their day – including place cards for every guest with personally written messages – and created a perfectly relaxed atmosphere, filled with so much happiness and emotion.

Holly and Craig’s Wedding

Posted by James - Monday, 8th June 2009

Last weekend I was second-shooting for wedding photographer Mandy Charlton; a fellow member of The [B] School. The wedding took place at the beautiful country house hotel, Horton Grange, in Northumberland. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day, and we were made to feel like guests by Holly and Craig and their lovely families.

Here are some of my favourite images from the day…

A bit of entertainment for the kids during the signing of the register…

…and a moment to pose too

There was lots of fun for the kids during the day. They were all so well behaved and great fun!

How cute is this little girl?

Andrea and Ron’s Wedding

Posted by James - Thursday, 5th March 2009

16th January was Andrea and Ron’s special day in North Berwick. We loved every minute of it, and now that we have delivered the beautiful Jorgensen album, we can share the photographs here on the blog. Thanks Andrea and Ron for letting us document your wonderful day!

The beautiful flowers were from Simply Flowers by Clare.

We crossed the road to the John Muir gardens for the formals and the bride & groom portraits…

The best man’s speech went down well:

The hardest photographs to take on the day – the dance floor was completely dark with no disco lights; the Canon 5D MKII was struggling to focus but the high ISO really helped.

The happy couple and the bride’s daughter:

The Canon 5D MKII is wonderful in low light; I had many opportunities to put it to the test during the overcast January afternoon and evening. Photography using available light (or lack of) is a joy with this camera, which suits my style perfectly.
