Yesterday I was photographing Paul & Erin’s Wedding with the ceremony being held at St Andrew’s Church in Windsor followed by the Reception at the Coppid Beach Hotel in Bracknell, again assisted by my good friend Barry Payne who by now must see flash lights in his sleep.

As predicted the morning saw a down pour of rain but thankfully this held off for the afternoon so we were able to make use, albeit for just a short time, of the grounds at the Church. All in all, a really good day with plenty of laughs with some really nice people.

I’ve attached a few of the photos that I took yesterday to show you; and all that remains now is to get on with editing the remainder for when Paul & Erin’ return from their honeymoon in the Maldives … jealous? me? naaahh … well, maybe just a little.

Today I was out with Paul O’Connell and Erin Samaras on their Pre Wedding Shoot. Paul & Erin ‘tie the knot’ on the 21st June at St Andrew’s Church, Windsor and I can’t wait cos over the short time that I’ve got to know them, it’s been plainly obvious that they’re so right for each other … which makes taking photos of them a breeze.

We spent little over an hour today in Windsor taking photographs, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Both Paul & Erin are great to work with and more than happy to stick with me when I start experimenting; which I tend to do quite a bit.

Anyway, I’m now getting on with editing their photographs so I thought I’d post a few here for you to see.

Enjoy

For far too long now I’ve been promising to take a trip up to Loughborough, Leicestershire to visit my good friend Raj and his family and take some photographs. Well, I finally got my backside in gear and made the trip up last Saturday and had a great time. As always, Raj his wife Jaz and two children Amerdeep and Taran made me feel incredibly welcome. I met Raj just under 4 years ago at Heathrow and he very quickly became a great friend. Some people when you meet them, you just ‘hit it off’, and that’s exactly what happened with Raj and myself … he became like a Brother, and when he moved away to Loughborough it made a big impact. Needless to say it was great to catch up over a beer (or two) before taking some photographs; I knew the built in ‘Vibration Reduction’ in my lenses would come in handy one day.

Anyway, here’s some shots of Amerdeep and Taran … enjoy.

This morning I was over in Ealing, West London for a second photo shoot with the ELKAI Ealing Higashi Karate Club. On this occasion, I wanted to focus more on some hard lighting techniques and Michael, one of the instructors had the perfect look for what I wanted. There’s quite a few other shots from the short time I spent with them, but here’s a couple of Michael, who I have no doubt whatsoever is a great, friendly guy but believe me when he gives you ‘that look’ straight down the lens … well, let’s just say, if he’d have told me to jump, I’d have jumped.
