I love taking shots of people chucking stuff at brides and grooms. I know that sounds strange, but then so is the custom of doing just that – the confetti throwing. Apparently it’s something to do with the Italians… Anyway, my thoughts have turned to confetti today. That’s not to say that I haven’t been…
Why you shouldn’t ask Uncle Bob to photograph your wedding…
A couple of times each year I’ll miss out on a booking to a family friend or relative. I can’t say any more than that, as I have no idea whether the individuals are photographers or not. It makes me wonder how the photos from those couples weddings will end up. Will they be satisfied…
2016 – my best wedding photography year ever!
People often ask me how many weddings I shoot in Liverpool each year. I wonder how many you think is a normal amount? Most of us get to go to maybe one or to weddings a year when we’re youngish, as our peers get hitched all around us. But I’ve found, as the years go…
Probably the best customer service in the world.
Like many folks these days I have iPhones. I use a battered iPhone 4 whilst my wife makes do with my cast-off iPhone 3. Needless to say, the iPhone 3 is showing its age a little. It’s four years old, to be precise and, recently, the screen seemed to have packed up completely. My wife…
My favourite wedding photographs from 2013
I have to say that for a long and frankly disturbing time, 2013 didn’t feel like such a great year for wedding photography as it subsequently turned out to be. I mean to say, what wasn’t to like? I got to shoot at Knowsley Hall, my all time favourite venue, no less than 4 times!…
Cameras at weddings. What are they for? Time to go unplugged!
I think this post, categorized as it is under ‘Musings’, is possibly a bit more of a rant than a muse. Apologies in advance 🙂 I’ve noticed, over the years, that the number of cameras at weddings is increasing. This, in itself, is not a bad thing at all. It’s lovely to take photos of…
Another reason not to use Uncle Bob.
Always hire a professional wedding photographer – here’s why! First, though, let me point out that I am NOT a Daily Mail reader! In fact, even linking to a story on their foul website sends a shiver down my spine. However, this sorry tale is an excellent reminder of the dangers of trusting your wedding…
Why not all wedding photographers charge the same amount and why not all wedding photographers are the same…
I was checking my position on Google today. Yes, I’m one of those sad muppets who googles themselves. Anyway, I was surprised to find a new advert above mine. For those who don’t understand Google Adwords, the more you bid, the higher you go. The more you spend, the longer you stay there. I’ve been…
The best of 2011.
As promised (and finally!) here are my favourite shots from 2011. This is simply to show you just that – my best shots of the year. Naturally each wedding had many great shots – but these are what I consider to be the best from each one. 29 shots in all. I’ve tried to choose…
That warm fuzzy glow…
Just had another thank you email that I felt I just had to share. Bless them, Naomi and Christopher had already said thanks once by text and once by email, so this came as a nice surprise: “A HUGE thank you for our wedding photos, they are amazing – just what I wanted and more….
