Vicky and Chris are getting married at the beautiful Midland Hotel in Manchester in two weeks time. Today I had the privilege of meeting up with them in Manchester for a few drinks, we talked over all the plans for their big day and had a quick look around the hotel, the Grade II listed treasure oozes luxury, comfort and style, I simply can’t wait to cover their day!
It rained on and off all day in today, typical July weather! Thankfully we managed to dodge the rain showers and snatched some quick portraits down on the canal in central Manchester. Here are a few samples…
Here are a few samples from Hina & Mazhar’s wedding at the Sheffield Park Hotel on the outskirts of Sheffield! What an amazing wedding, the colours, the sounds, the people, an incredible experience!
I will be covering Hina and Mazhar’s wedding in a few weeks time in Sheffield. Today I met up with Hina and her sister Sobia to talk about the wedding and discuss all the final details and times. Mazhar was unfortunately unavailble to attend today because he was busy down in London, I therefore took the chance to take some informal photos of Hina and her sister.
Naomi & Chris were married at two beautiful venues last weekend… The ceremony was held at the Western Park Museum, a beautiful building originally built in 1887 and the reception was held at The Millennium Gallery (Venue decor by the brilliant ‘Hansley Beard Event Planning & Design’) Here are a selection of photos which tell the story from the very start of the day…
Naomi got ready at her parents’ house and then made her way to the Western Park Museum with her bridesmaids and immediate family in two of the most amazing vintage cars! The guests were transported from the Museum to the reception venue on a vintage Red route master bus!
Naomi and Chris had entrusted the brilliant Jennie from ‘Hansley Beard Event Planning & Design’ for the venue decor at the Millennium Galleries and what a great job she did! I had never met Jennie before this wedding but I had seen the great selection of work on her blog..very impressive stuff! I would certainly recommend a visit if you’re about to start the process of planning your big day!
Up until a few years ago there was a large gap between the wedding photographer and the wedding videographer, the two separate trades required very different skills and very different equipment. All this changed however when Canon released the Canon 5D mk2 camera and threw a huge spanner in the works!
The 5D mk2 has the ability to shoot in 1080p HD and was the first Digital SLR on the market to do such a thing, many photographers and videographer alike initially classed this feature as a mere gimmick.. an advanced feature rarely to be touched. This however all changed following the release of a short film by Canon which was entirely filmed on the camera, the quality of the film shuck the film industry by the scruff of its neck and many in the industry have never looked back. In short the camera has the ability to produce very high quality footage at a fraction of the price and physical size of many of film industry standard cameras.
I have had my Canon 5D mk2 for several months now, I recently picked up the camera and began filming for the very first time. This short (very short) film was filmed towards the very end a recent wedding, my video skills are somewhat limited but it’s amazing what you can produce in the first 15minutes of use.
