Alex & Nick’s Winter wedding at The Langham – London.

This time last year most of London and the surrounding areas ground to a stand still.. trains stopped running and roads were virtually  impassable. So, when Alex and Nick booked me to shoot their wedding for around about the same time but for the following year, I did think I might have to dig out my snow shoes, round up a few Huskies and wax the runners on the sledge… but thankfully the weather was perfect and I was able to use a quicker form of transport:  The humble motor car.

There were only 18 guests for the ceremony and wedding breakfast, which made it a real close and personal family affair. Later into the evening, another 60 of their close friends arrived to enjoy and share in the rest of the celebrations.

Even though we didn’t go outside to do any photography due to the temperature and lack of any light, with” The Langham” being such a beautiful hotel, there were countless photographic opportunities inside, so finding locations was very easy.

Have a great honeymoon guys! See you when you return.

HDR photography.

HDR photography is a bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. I happen to love both.

I stumbled across these old cars while  driving to a friends, and when I saw them, I immediately thought they would make for great HDR imagery. For anyone that is unfamiliar with the term HDR , it stands for ‘ HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE ‘ which entails taking multiple exposers, anything from 3-7, and then combing them all in a software to create  one  final image that includes detail the shadow areas and also in the highlights.

I would like to thank Gregg for letting me photograph his collection and hopefully if he doesn’t mind I would love to go back and do a trash the dress session when it gets a little warmer.

Hope you all like marmite.
