Louise and George — Wedding photography at Beauberry House — Part 2.

Im delighted to share with you the second part of Louise and Georges wedding at Beauberry House, Dulwich. I really love shooting at Beauberry house, a venue I have now shot at several times. Its light and bright, with a crisp plain white ceremony room and lends itself perfectly to high-key (lots of light tones) images and the grounds afford fantastic portraits. Yes, I do take the some couple portraits on the day! Anyway, congratulations again to both of you and a few more favourites here.

Ernst - Mark! You manage (always) to draw the viewer in and make us feel we are right there with the bride and groom. One almost doesn't need to attend the wedding :) And I like the feel of the portraits -- relaxed and very natural.

Street photography in Bangkok

Travel

Im taking a few weeks out relaxing in Thailand before the summer wedding season really kicks off in ernest. Staying outside Bangkok at the moment with my friend and fellow street photographer Ronn Aldaman. It’s 43 degrees here right now and feeling to hot to go out and do much during the middle of the day. The rainy season seems to be breaking in, yesterday it poured cats and dogs off and on all through the day. Torrential rain coming almost out of nowhere with powerful storms that send everyone running for shelter and street vendors often caught unawares trying to retrieve there merchandise as it gets a soaking or is sent flying down the road. Unlike shooting in India I find street photography quite challenging here. Backgrounds, light and colours are not as easy to work with and the whole environment is making me think all the harder about how to push my photography further to achieve the look I want. A proliferation of tall buildings often starve you of low evening light and perhaps people are a little more skittish when it comes to taking candid photos and therefor you have to work a little bit harder to get them. However, unlike India Thailand is a very easy place to relax, you are never too far away from an iced coffee or my favourite dish, Tom Sam — Papaya Salad. Im also trying to learn Thai with a view to possibly running street photography and camera tuition workshops here in Bangkok with Ronn. A few favourites from the last few days here on the blog now — hopefully, next week we may get access to a Thai boxing school or Muay Thai as it is referred to in Thai.

Richard and Rhonda — Wedding at Orleans House — Part 1

Weddings

A short blog post here as I am in Thailand and internet is not always the easiest thing in the world to get your hands on. A very laid back wedding at Orleans House near Kew. A late start much welcomed as I it was my third wedding that week. Lovely light in Orleans House, an art gallery and wedding venue and a really nice mix of guests from the UK and across the pond. A few favourites from the start of the day. Congratulations Richard and Rhonda.

Louise and George — Wedding Photography at Beauberry House — Part 1

Weddings

It was great to have this wedding on my doorstep, particularly since I had just shot a wedding in Essex the day before. Well rested I arrived at Louise and Goerge’s beautiful home in East Dulwich, literally about a 5 minutes drive from where I live. Louise and George, I could tell from their home, were very particular people. Particular about style and they both clearly had a visual taste that suited my own, not too fussy, simple, honest decorations that showed a love of our local area. To this end they employed a local photographer (me) and the wonderful make-up artist Amanda Roberts, a local woman who’s professionalism I have come to admire having seen what beautiful work she does — we have worked together on a number of local weddings now. Louise looked stunning! Please see her website here.

So, a light bright lovely house full of dancing children and relaxed and happy adults. They day was shaping up very nicely. We all moved on to a favourite venue, Beauberry House where the ever efficient Olea was marshalling her troops to make the wedding day go seamlessly. I really enjoyed shooting this local wedding in such fantastic surroundings and I hope that shows in the images. A few favourites from Part 1 of this day, too many images I like to put into one blog post.
