A beautiful bouquet of flowers at home, now past their best, made me think to search through the many photographs I have of wild flowers.
These were taken earlier this year on a trip round a local wood, only open to the public once a year. While there are many rare wild flowers protected in this place, who doesn’t like a beautiful bluebell.
I spotted our guides mode of transport, propped up on the edge of the wood … and you don’t get more modern than this!
Late in the day, but still just in time for todays advent posting! First thing this morning I attended a networking breakfast at Wattisham Airfield and heard quite a bit about the role of the airbase within the Suffolk community, and operations out in Afghanistan. This reminded me of an opportunity I had to photograph the Sea King and Apache helicopters based at Wattisham, during an open day. The displays were very impressive as the pilots put these incredible machines through their paces…
I’ve loved the idea of having a video created from stills and now have just that, created for me by Iidoo.co.uk
After selecting a few images from various wedding shoots and run them in sequence, they tell the story of your big day and portray a little anticipation, happiness and love from the photographs, trimmed with a few words and music.
Hopefully it’s long enough, without being tedious and just enough images to make people want to see more about my work as a Suffolk Wedding photographer. More portfolio images can be viewed here – Wedding Portfolio.
At the beginning of this year, after a short presentation I had given at a business lunch in Bury St Edmunds, Victoria introduced herself and asked if I could help on a special photo shoot. She and her fiancé Rob were getting married in March this year in Scotland. However, it wasn’t to photograph their wedding day, as they had decided not to hire the services of a photographer for the event. Instead, a fortnight later, they were having a party close to their new home in Suffolk, to celebrate their marriage with family and friends. Many had been unable to travel to the highlands for the big day. Planning to once again dress in their wedding finery, she asked if I could help. After a short discussion, we agreed I would go over just before midday and spend an hour photographing the couple at their house.
It couldn’t have worked out better, having allowed enough time, so they could relax and enjoy some special time together. Their home and garden is where they are very happy and provided some good areas for photographs. Surrounded by everything familiar and not torn between, spending time with their guests and a photographer wanting to drag them away at every moment. I recall hearing a neighbour’s music playing that helped the fun we had in that hour. ‘Olivia’ the cat afforded us a little of her time also…
Victoria and Rob’s happiness together is very clear to see and the photographs from that shoot are as special as the day they got hitched.
