Rachel and Chris's wedding

Saturday saw the wedding of two good friends, Chris and Rachel, at Boxley Church and then Oakwood House, Maidstone. Despite a very damp start, again we were incredibly lucky with the weather as the rain stopped just long enough for the group shots (we even had the sun out at one stage)....

Pictures to follow shortly, but congratulations to you both, a great time was had by all!

Yervant course



Last week I attended a 3 day seminar in London with Yervant, who is one of the World's leading wedding photographers. Yervant has a signature style with a very arty look to his fantastic pictures, which is quite different to my usual reportage style. Over the course of three days I got to work with Yervant on shooting stlyes and amazing photoshop techniques, and also liaise with some of Britain's leading wedding photographers - always nice to swap tips and techniques! I'm busy processing the images in a 'semi-Yervant' style, here's a taster!



Like all courses, it's going to be a case of taking some of these techniques and blending them into my own style - sometimes there's a tendency to go too much overboard and overdo every image suddenly...here's a few straight out of the camera...
