A concept wedding dress by Anoosh

A fantastic shoot last week with London fashion designer Anoosh - also a star of the hit ITV2 series 'models misfits and mayhem'.

It was a busy day, fitting in a total of 6 looks, this one I thought appropriate for my wedding blog. Obviously not a typical choice of wedding dress however I can see how the concept could incorporate into a wearable fashion statement. Watch this space!

Having worked with Anoosh a number of times previously, he gave me free reign with the lighting look and also with the processing. I wanted to create a sense of fine art that would suit a large canvass print, but at the same time for it to stand out. I wanted to use light to reinforce the almost angelic pose of model Elena Step, and decided to highlight from the centre behind her. It is the first in a project series with Anoosh and I look forward to the next one already.

Wedding Fair at the Hop Farm, Paddock Wood, Kent

I must say what a pleasure and success Sunday was at the Hop Farm and may I thank everybody who visited our stand.

It was at times pretty frantic and and I could really have done with another couple of members of my team there to make sure everyone was helped properly.

The stars of the day were the large canvass style fine art wrap, and the very large wedding book with its metallic paper.

Many people were also impressed at the idea of the guest signing book, which is a 20 page book made up of images from your engagement shoot on the left facing pages. This leaves the right facing pages blank and ready for all those lovely messages from your guests! I knew it would be a hit when I introduced it recently.

Here is the wedding fair offer which runs till the end of this coming weekend, so for those of you who have not yet booked, make sure you reach for the phone and call me now!

Wedding fair at Bexley

What an exciting day yesterday at Bexley! Whats more a big thank you to all the Brides and Grooms-to-be for coming to our stand. I must say it was lovely talking to each one of you; weddings really are so exciting and I always do feel privileged to be a part of the day from the very outset.

I wanted to make my area stand out whilst showing the wall art and the beautiful wedding books at their best. So I took with me an overhead lighting rig which allowed me to focus spot on the areas I wanted to highlight.

The whole thing was a huge success and many brides to be were really pleased to have a copy of my new mini brochure and to leave their details with me.

The show offer will expire this coming weekend so if you'd like to treat yourself to something special and book "AHP Weddings", you'll need to get in touch soon!

Winter wedding - Congratulations to Rochelle and Daniel

Congratulations to Rochelle and Daniel for getting married yesterday! And what a lovely day it was, starting at the Royal Wells for getting ready, then onto St Peter's in Southborough and then back again to the hotel for the reception.
Rochelle always liked the sound of snow at her wedding but as we know we can't always trust the British weather so she a friend of hers brought a snow machine to create the snowy effect.

More pictures will follow - keep watching!
