High Rocks Wedding

Great weather for April helped make a truly fabulous day for Wendy and Christopher at The High Rocks Inn just outside Tunbridge Wells, Kent. From the booking stage they were keen to get their wellies on and scale the heights of the famous and ancient rocks. As it happens wellies weren't needed.

Journeying from Tunbridge Wells West Station near the Pantiles, they took steam trains (separate of course) to the High Rocks Inn station.

I enjoyed taking a variety of shots using all the different locations and scenery. A big thanks to Giles the best man who climbed up with us all and held the reflector and various other bits and pieces.

Wedding at the beautiful Pelham House Hotel, Lewis

What a fantastic day and what a miracle of weather. When all the odds are against and certain rain is forecast, it's lovely when there's not a drop; in fact it was a sunny and fairly warm day in Lewis!
I will be posting more images after the bride and groom have seen them and given the go ahead for their wedding book.

April wedding at High Rocks, Tunbridge Wells

High Rocks - A dramatic setting for stunning photography

What a fabulous day Wendy and Christopher had last weekend! With all this turbulent weather of late, no one was sure quite how it would be on the big day. From the point of booking they were keen to get their wellies on and climb to the top of the rocks for the couple photos. I was delighted with the idea and embraced it wholeheartedly!

But that wasn't the only interesting feature of the day. Their journeys to the venue were by steam train which stops right by the High Rocks Inn.

I took a variety of shots using different aspects of the location, whilst my second photographer/ assistant Mark covered things from a different angle, and took a few of me in action. A big thanks to Giles the best man who climbed up with us all and held the reflector and various other bits and pieces.

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.
