Aspire Photography Training – I Do I Do I Do

Posted in Aspire Photography Training, Pre-Wedding, Training, Weddings

Earlier this week I spent another great day with the team at Aspire Photography Training. This time it was ‘I Do I Do I Do’ workshop which gives the chance for photographers to come up and spend some time building their portfolio for their wedding business. The first part of the day is spend with me going over how we approach a wedding and discuss the things that work really well for us. Then it was outside into the rain! Yes rain! It was supposed to be a nice warm day 25 degrees and blue sky. But we must have had a little micro climate of our own because it pretty much rained all day. But as with weddings you can’t say can we come back another day – so on we went. First it was shooting a pre-wed with the ace couple Rebecca & Scott then some wedding shots with Faye & Chris.

The afternoon session was built around the delegates having around 40 minutes with each of the couples. We were joined by a third couple Petra & James. So everyone spent 2 hours shooting 3 different couples. Then back for some coffee and to dry our feet ( my converses will never be the same again ). We finished off with a bit of Q&A before heading back home.

It was a fab day with a great bunch of people. If you want to get involved with the same course – Aspire are running it again on the 1st of November 2011

Kat & David: Ripley Castle – Sneaky Peek

Posted in Pre-Wedding, Weddings

Here’s a quick peek at a few images from Kat & David’s fab wedding on Saturday, first at St Josephs church in Harrogate then onto Ripley castle. Everything about the day was relaxed and fun – we had a gorgeous couple, a Vera Wang dress, very entertaining best man, routemaster bus and triplets for bridesmaids which got very confusing! Anyway the full post will come in a couple of weeks after Kat & David come back from honeymoon but for now here is a sneaky peek of the day.

Kat’s wedding present to David – tickets to the British Grand Prix – got a great reaction from the guys!

Katie & Peter : Pre-Wedding Shoot

Posted in Pre-Wedding

I did a great pre-wedding shoot last week at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. This is a lovely location. We take the kids there a lot to have a good run about and get inspired by the great works of modern art on display. I met up with Katie & Peter who are getting married at Aston Hall in July. The weather was fab as has been all April and May so far. Long may it continue into September. Anyway, it was great to get to know Katie & Peter a bit better – they were fantastic models and really good company. I’m really looking forward to their wedding which is in July.

Here are a few pictures from the other day.

Chris & Rhonda : Bradfield Village

Posted in Pre-Wedding

I had the pleasure of spending a gorgeous Thursday morning in the village of Bradfield with Chris & Rhonda. We met outside the village hall where they are going to have their reception before going into the local cafe for a coffee. This was a great little cafe also acting as post office / gallery and shop. We had a look inside the hall before heading off to take some fun images around the village. The village is beautiful and nestles in Bradfield Dale and we got an amazing view from the pub we went to afterwards for a debrief. Below is a selection of the images we took on the day.

Aspire Photography Training – Bespoke Group 34: Weddings

Posted in Aspire Photography Training, inspiration, Pre-Wedding, Weddings

Over the last couple of days I have been back up in the Lakes with the lovely Aspire Photography Training. This time it was to spend time with one of their bespoke groups to talk about how we approach and photograph our weddings. Group 34 were amazing bunch of guys, really enthusiastic and keen to learn. On the first day I just joined the group to listen and observe whilst Catherine & Jane talked about the marketing side of the business. At the end of the day they were joined by Melissa Love who was a fantastic speaker. She is a whizz at creating amazing websites and developing clients brands.

On the second day I took the group through the whole process of photographing a wedding, from planning to execution. We were joined on the shoot by a lovely couple, Christie & Jack. They acted as our models as I took the group through how to set up and shoot an engagement shot. Then in the afternoon we headed out into the village of Burton in Kendal for some wedding pictures, first to the lovely church and then off to a beautiful location to do the couple shots.

As ever the day was set up and organised by the fab Rachel. She is an ace stylist and always puts in a superb effort. Here are a few of my pictures from the day.
