Sam and Chris's pre wedding shoot..full post and video...

Follow Me on Pinterest
We are delighted to share the images we shot with Sam and Chris last week on their pre wedding shoot....as we made the journey up to Rivington Hall, it was grey and rainy as we set off. When we arrived, it was really sunny and there was lots of snow still on the ground!

We had an amazing time with Sam and Chris and they both did really well, especially as it was really slippy and quite cold. definitely naturals in front of the camera! We had a good laugh and we're really pleased with the images we made together.

We were chatting over a coffee after the shoot, along with Sam's mum and dad, and they were telling us how much research they had put into finding the right photographer. They found our work on the WPJA website and decided straight away "that's the photographer we want!"

We are really looking forward to their wedding now, it promises to be a beautiful day!

Lifestyle family shoot.....

Follow Me on Pinterest

Last weekend, we had a brilliant time with the Davy family on a lifestyle shoot at Liverpool's waterfront. We were privileged to shoot the weddings of Mark and Ellie and Anna and Andrew....we would have also shot Anna and Tom's but, sadly, we already had a booking on their date!

This shoot has been waiting since Christmas 2011 to come together...and we believe it was worth the wait. Despite the really cold weather, we had a brilliant time, with Mark, Ellie, Tom and Pauline all joining in by being lighting assistants or using the Sunbounce.

In fact, Mark became quite creative with it and started giving instructions to everyone about the position of the light, brilliant! The "Bohemian Rhapsody" style shots were his idea!

Here is a video of all the edited images and a selection of stills....the video is around 4 mins and is HD, so will take a minute to load, but please be patient....it's worth it!

Opportunity for filming with ITV....

Follow Me on Pinterest
We were contacted by ITV today (amazing I know!) about a documentary they are filming this year about families planning big events, like a wedding, this year. They have asked me to post this...

"Are you getting married? Or perhaps you’re renewing your vows? BAFTA award-winning production company TwoFour are looking for warm and engaging families for an exciting new documentary series and would love to hear from you."

If you are you are interested in getting involved, especially if we are shooting your wedding between now and around mid May, please message me and I can give you further information.....

Some favorite wedding images from 2012....

Follow Me on Pinterest
Here is a selection of some of our favourite images from the weddings we shot in 2012.  For us, they sum up each particular wedding in some way....they are not in any particular order

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this selection as much as we did shooting the images. We wish all of our couples a very happy, peaceful and joy-filled New Year as you go into it for the first time as Mr and Mrs!! x
