This weekend saw us cruise down to sunny gloucester to the sounds of Thin Lizzy, good times! Not a typical summers day… because we were bathed in glorious sunshine throughout! The day went brilliantly…despite the football result, check out a few of the favourites…

Brendan and Julie are an absolutely fantastic couple, the day went perfectly and they were a joy to photograph. Julie was beautiful in her Lusan Mandongus dress, and the pair exchanged vows in front of close friends and family inside the stunning Victorian Orangery, situated within the grounds of St.Audries park in Somerset.
Pictured below are the couple taking a few moments just after the ceremony…
…a few more from the day…
i must confess apart from photography my other great love is eating…lots. Kudos to the pastry chef as this creation tasted as awesome as it looked
it was brilliant day and much merriment was had by all. The festivities went way on into the night with many of us joining in a good ol’ sing song with the ceilidh band, perfectly in tune i assure you! a fantastic day and a beautiful wedding, the love between the two was felt by all and we wish you both all the happiness in the world

It only dawned on me recently the undeniable parity between my endeavors on a film set, and those on a wedding day. All the usual guests, cast and crew are in attendance. Actors and actresses make way for the bride and groom to take the limelight, steal the show, and all in attendance stride with contented grins, as they know they are part of something brilliant, fantastic, unique! My Jules Winnfield moment occurred whilst on my most recent film set. A fantastic few days, great times, great people, great photos…great!
We have our detail shots…
…we have the candid shots and the lovely ladies doing the make-up, coincidentally this lovely lady (often otherwise known by her alter ego; Holleigh) also extends her artistry to the wedding scene, contact me for details…
…And finally, the main shots that take precedence, reside in the fore of the mind and are a visual signifier for the whole event. uncanny!
Speaking of films, i gazed a gazely stare upon a 1993 vintage in the past week, The Three Musketeers to be precise. Valour, honour and good old heroism are a sure fire way to a ladies heart, but as a Mr. Charlie Sheen aptly demonstrates for us desperate romantics, a telling grip on the English language, is a powerful tool indeed:
As morning hues of sun swept fire.
Caress you passion face, alone with you leaves
pure desire to worship under you grace.
My soul would cry in silent prayer to ner be
swept apart.
Your essences of the evening air as I danced into
your heart

You heard it here first blog fans, these guys are immense!
the wedding related banter will continue i promise! however this is a follow up tale and must be shared. Last night i journeyed through the cacophony of noise and locomotion that is the London underground and emerged in unfamiliar territory. After conquering oaken ingress i found myself in the belly of a well renowned watering hole, The Rocket in Acton, however drinking on the job is cardinal sin…and lest we forget what we gave up for lent. However it was the music we had arrived for, and that lie in a dimly lit bohemian paradise in the upper floor.
To be more succinct, Jennifer and Owen are, in a word, outstanding. A spectacle truly worthy of this report, beautiful melodic rhythm guitar coupled with amazing vocal control, the performance simply brings a smile to ones face. My thoughts were reciprocated by my fellow audience members, with utterances of a similar generous nature.
MC'ing the night and also putting in a sterling performance himself was Ali
Jennifer
Owen
Heres a few photographs from the night, hope you like them.

Its been an interesting start to the year, all kinds of work popping up here and there. I therefore thought it apt to share what we’ve been up to. Sean and i are full time Photographers/Retouchers, our work sees us take on all manner of projects. A recent expedition took us to photograph a fantastic up and coming pair of musicians Jennifer and Owen, i had the pleasure of a mini performance to get an idea of what kind of style they were going for and believe me these guys are ones to watch. They have a gig coming up in march actually, i will post information when i know more!
Anyway heres a sample of what we got up to:

After seeing Stephen Berkmans work on ‘The Assassination of Jesse James’ and his work with the Raconteurs i had to have a stab at the Ambrotype myself. The depth of the blacks and the character of the photographs is what intrigued me, pretty chuffed with the outcome.

so this weekend i accompanied Brendan and Julie on a mission to re-visit their venue before the big day in May. I used the opportunity mostly to suss out the technical aspects of the venue, but theres always time to have a laugh:
