Brighton Wedding/ Becky & Jon

Friday, June 11th, 2010

This was a truly laid back affair. Becky and Jon just wanted to be married and have a lovely meal. They even needed some convincing to have some pictures taken on their own! Becky looked simply stunning in her David Fieldman dress despite not intending to wear a wedding gown. They didn’t want a big fuss, so only invited close friends and family to Brighton Town Hall. The ceremony was simple but lovely with their beautiful children having starring roles. After saying their vows and having the first kiss Becky and Jon had a proper hug, which was enough to set me and Amy off. Becky didn’t want intrusive photography but we got some lovely shots of the family walking through the lanes. Then we met up with them again on Hove seafront for some beach shots before heading to the Ginger Pig for the reception. The restaurant looked fabulous and we sneaked a few of the rather delicious canapés including fresh oysters. Pamela from the Ginger Pig treated us to a glass of champagne before we left but it was a very lovely way to spend the day.

Commercial Photography / Food Photography

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

I love doing food photography. It is a very different challenge to taking portraits, the subject doesn’t move or have an attitude but colour balance and composition are very important to make the image interesting and the food appetising. So on a bitterly cold January day, I came up with the bright idea of shooting all the new food photography for the Gingerman Restaurants out in the garden of the Ginger Fox in Albourne. They serve a lot of the food on slate so I found a battered old crate that looked great as a contrast in texture. Using low depth of field and the winter sunlight, I produced a set of images that are rustic but sophisticated … just like the pub. The food looked delicious but went cold very quickly which was handy when it came to the ice-cream. A couple of days later I went back to take some moody winter shots of the outside in the frost. I brought the family so that we could take advantage of their new £10 two course special and the great children’s menu. For details on booking a table, even at the Ginger Pig in Hove now, have a look at their web site.

Winter Weddings

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

As we are coming to the end of 2008, it is time to look back on a very busy year. This was my 18th year of being a photographer and the 8th that I have been a wedding photographer in Sussex. This was one of my busiest years and I am very glad to have Clare as second photographer and now our two newbies, Susanna and Julie. We all had a lot of fun (and a fair few cocktails!) this week at The Ginger Pig in Hove for our Christmas do. We are looking forward to doing a two day shoot for the Gingerman restaurants and January which will include shooting the food, yummy!

This is our busiest winter for weddings and I am thinking that couples are getting a lot better value at this time of year, although it can be a challenge with the weather and the lack of light. We have still got one more wedding to do at the Pavilion before Christmas and have just taken a booking for a civil partnership on the 30th. We will then be shooting more weddings in January than we have ever done and in February we will be at wedding fairs in Buxted Park and The Royal pavilion.
