Family Photoshoot

Here are a few shots from a set of family portraits taken on location at the families home near Leicester in August.  They were a lovely relaxed family and they had asked for that to be reflected in the images, which made for a really enjoyable shoot. Having decided to ignore the 'Never work with animals' mantra we attempted to include the family dogs and herd of goats as much as possible with varying degrees of success!

A big thank you goes to Karen Massey for recommending me for the job.

Wayne and Lisa's Wedding

After a very busy couple of months at my Leicester "Headquaters" I thought it was about time to Blog some of the bits an pieces I've been up to lately. First up, it's Wayne and Lisa's Wedding from mid August. I've shot another four Wedding since then, but I will have to catch you up on those later! This was a beautiful Wedding held at the Auberge Du Lac Restaurant in Hertfordshire. The Restaurant is situated in the grounds of Brocket Hall, so makes for some stunning backdrops for the images. Wayne and Lisa were a lovely couple and it was a really fun day. I especially enjoyed learning to drive a golf cart to whisk the couple around the grounds to take the photos. I'm fairly sure this isn't covered under my photographers insurance but was enjoyable non the less! So without further ado, here are a selection of images from the day:

Keri and Matt's Wedding

I photographed Keri and Matt's Wedding in June 2011 at Pendley Manor in Tring. The venue was chosen as it was where the couple had first got together at the secondary school prom. The grounds of the hotel were full of peacocks, so I spent much of the day looking for an opportune moment to include one in a shot. Finally one walked by just as I had lined Keri and Matt up with the wedding car and Manor as a backdrop and took the shot to the next level.

Keri and Matt were great to photograph on the day, as they didn't stop smiling, which made for some very easy reportage work. The couple were obviously very pleased too saying 'Thank you Sam, Matt and I are really impressed with the photos'

It was also great to work with Simon Tiller of 'Ultimate Visuals' and Anthony Green the Toastmaster.
