Sneak Peek: Stacey & Fleur - Civil Ceremony

I had the priviledge of shooting Stacey & Fleur's lovely civil ceremony at Medway Register officer this Saturday. They made a great couple and had put loads of thought into making the day a hugely fun celebration of their love for each other. Here are a few highlights of the day (and evening)








































































We finish with a warning as to the pitfalls of setting off fireworks in the mud of the Medway in the dark. I hope Burton's know how to get it out of the dress suit!






Thanks a million to Stacey & Fleur for allowing me to photograph your special day. I wish you a long, happy and fun-filled life together.

Dan.

Sarah & John - A wedding video

The full gallery and DVD is nearly ready, so as a taster you might like to enjoy the following video:



On a wet day like today it's lovely to look back to enjoy the sunshine of the beginning of the month and a really special day at the Royal Chase Hotel.

Picture of the Day - Battered Calf

Guess who's leg this is - showing the ravages I guess of a long professional career and possibly a couple of operations. It's always interesting to see the scarring that players incurr.



Use the comments section below to let me know who's calf you think it is.

Family Portrait Fun

Watch and enjoy!

Picture of the Day - Wedding Rose

A simple image today:





to illustrate that wedding memories can be sparked by a single rose when photographed well.

Picture of the Day - Cool Teenagers

Sometimes it can be difficult for a photographer to engage with an older child, who perhaps is less than enthralled with the idea of being the subject of a photo session. We always look to create "cool" images that they will love as a way to bring them onside.

Picture of the Day - Another fun portrait

Following on from yesterday's post, here's another image that shows families at play:

Picture of the Day - Every Moment a potential portait

Photographing Children has particular challenges, but the images that we can create whilst they are at play can be stunning and make the effort well worthwhile.





Sometimes the moments when they are lost in the simple joys of playing and thus unaware of the camera are the ones in which we can capture their true selves.

Picture of the Day - Good enough to eat

A moment of horseplay for today's picture of the day





as Chelsea Captain John Terry playfully nibbles the ear of club journalist Neil Barnett as he lays on the Stamford Bridge pitch at a recent training session

Sneek Peek - Sarah & John's Beautiful Wedding

I was priviledged enough to be able to photograph Sarah & John's wedding at the Royal Chase Hotel in Enfield on Friday.

The weather, for October couldn't have been more kind and Sarah made a beautiful bride. However she does set a new "record" in being the first bride I've seen to be on Facebook half an hour before walking down the aisle!

The whole day was lovely, with several witty touches and I had a blast photographing it all. Here's a few early samples of their special day.

















































Have a great honeymoon guys and my very best wishes for a long and happy marriage!

Picture of the Day - Yumm, cake!

This beautiful cake was a magnificent centerpiece at a recent wedding. It looked absolutely stunning and (it was reported) tasted at least as good.





Pity the poor photographer who has to study the cake at close quarters to create images like this, but doesn't get to eat it!!

Picture of the Day - Joey Cole

Back to the Mighty Blues today for our picture of the day. Joe Cole, here seen recovering from his long term injury demonstrates he's lost none of the close control skills that have brought him to the top of the modern game.
