to walk down the aisle looking ones absolute best, that is the dream…but the girls get all the help they need, time for another walk down style alley for the chaps. Courtesy of Carlo Pignatelli’s 2010 collection we aim to bring to the fore the shear variety of mens fashion in the wedding department. The touch of Italian class and theatre is all too apparent in the latest threads to hit the catwalks, still…you cant help but admire how simply brilliant they are.

Pretty in Pink

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…

oh happy day…


smith and davies wedding photographyBrendan 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…

Gorgeous pays for itself in the first five seconds

Gorgeous can’t be ordinary even if it tries

Gorgeous trumps everything

Gorgeous is worth it

The wedding gown, one of the most pivotal, poignant and perfect purchase of all things wedding related. Imagine, exuding class; the bride blossoms into the room, dances down the aisle and is positively radiant for the entire day. Sounds like alot of pressure on making the right choice, no? enter Stephanie Allin. Beauty, style, elegance…look no further, the subtlety of these dresses is what makes them utterly brilliant. The dresses ooze class so effortlessly they are  a performance in themselves.

the wedding dress should always accentuate the beauty of the bride and i am of the humble opinion that these would do the trick in the most effortless of fashions…

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!

…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

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.
