New(ish) approach to wedding shoots
I’m trying to simplify images by using fast prime lenses to eliminate distracting background and ‘side-ground’ factors Using my new full-frame DSLR Canon and converting images to black and white helps too. So far clients seem to like it!

Another Winter Wedding
Luckily this time around the couple live in Canada so the freezing cold weather was not a problem. Luckily also, it was clear and bright on the south coast of the UK during late January.

Thanks a lot to Hannah and Brad for looking great and not letting the

Also the costs of exhibiting at such shows is astronomical and of course this is a cost eventually passed

My plan is to produce a blog of interest to couples planning their Wedding Days and to anyone else interested in event and landscape photography in and around Dorset in the UK.
