Wedding Photography new products

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

We are very busy in the office and very excited about our ten year anniversary. The website is being updated soon by Richard at Brightonweb and we have had some help from Leif at Kendall Copywriting. I now have a rough idea how google works and what meta data is, though don’t test me on it!vintageshoes

Perhaps the most revolutionary change is our switch to digital photography for weddings. Much as I love working on film, our new Canon 5D mkIIs are everything we need in a camera and we have really seen their magic in our last few winter weddings. We can now be even more flexible on what we can offer clients and the products we can offer. Queensberry are still our main albums and the duo pages with photofronts have been most popular but we have always been looking for a more cost effective album that looks robust and stylish. There are a few coffee table book companies around but I have always found the printing or binding to be poor, especially when sat next to a Queensberry album. At last though, we have sourced a great 12 inch square photo book that sits flat, has a hard backed photo cover and the pages are made up of photographic paper. The first wedding sample should be here next week and it will also showcase our other big new service which is Vintage Wedding Photography. For this option, the images are printed with a slight warm tone on the black & white and a retro effect on the colour. The results are gorgeous and worth all the hard work we have been putting in over the winter. Well done Amy on getting this gorgeous shot of Maddie’s shoes in the snow, it is going to feature in the site redesign too :) www.devlinphotos.co.uk

Brighton Wedding / Liz and Chris’s New Year’s Eve wedding at Pangdean Barn

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

IMG_9199Liz and Chris finally got married on New Year’s Eve after a few changes to previous plans thanks to the arrival of their beautiful baby son Wilbur. We joined Liz at her friend’s fabulous mews house in Hove where she was getting ready. Everything was going well until we spotted a clamp going on one of the wedding cars, which luckily could be removed after payment of a hefty fine. Liz looked gorgeous in a gown from Ian Stuart that she bought from the Ozone in Brighton. Although we left quite late, we managed to grab a couple of shots in the cobbled street before rushing to Ditchling Church. After abandoning our car in a muddy lane, Amy and I ran uphill and got there just before the bride walked in but it was one of the closest near misses for me as a wedding photographer! The ceremony included a baptism for Wilbur who must be the most chilled out baby ever. He smiled all day and didn’t even mind the water on his head.
The reception was held at the very lovely Pangdean Barn, IMG_9422just outside Brighton which is a great Sussex winter venue. It felt very festive and cosy and the food was amazing. Nicky and her staff are very warm and relaxed which helps to create a friendly atmosphere. We used our lights to do all the formal photography by the huge Christmas tree, finishing with five month old Wilbur posing with his many Godparents! After the speeches, the couple cut their stunning wedding cake which had been made by the Groom’s very talented Dad. www.devlinphotos.co.uk
