Wedding Day Photography? Maybe Not, but Everything Else…
I don’t do much wedding day photography these days, which is a shame, I always found it suited me well. Thinking on my feet, dealing with the stress (the good kind), that makes you creative, was perfect for me. You can even find a long neglected website which, surprisingly, still works, not sure who is paying for it……
Lea & David Wedding, Misterton, England
Another month another wedding. There was an again an American element, The previous month I was in Texas (which will be posted soon). The bride Lea is from the States and her husband is from the UK, I got to do this wedding thanks to my good friend Yeesan who lives in NYC. Luckily it was…
Anna & Danny Wedding
Location: Castelldefels, Spain. My first wedding in quite a while. I had kind of forgotten about this type of photographic work, but when the offer came up I actually put on hold a trip to the south to be able to do it, because A) work had been quiet for a while and so a…
Aisling & Colm Wedding
This was my first job since returning to Barcelona after being in Buenos Aires for a month. I had been back in the country less than 2 days and was still feeling jet-lagged, luckily this meant that a certain other wedding in the UK on the Friday pretty much escaped me even though it was…
Caribbean Wedding
Location: Tobago. A wedding in Tobago. I was not working, but I was the Best Man and I have a dread of public speaking, especially when it’s something important like this and hardly spontaneous. I had a lot of time to ponder this day and still could not get what I wanted to say written…
Mary & Conor Wedding
Location: Blanes, Catalunya. Organiser: Crystal Events I hired a cool red Mini, that was great fun once I had worked out how to start the bloody thing! This wedding had time factored in for bride preparation shots, which I enjoy and it also allows you to get warmed up and flex the ‘photographic muscles’ before the…
Emily & Regis Wedding
Location: Parador Cardona, Catalunya, Spain. This location has to be the grandest I have attended for a wedding in Spain. I arrived the night before and stayed 2 nights in the end. I was working for 14 hours and knowing my bedroom was 2 mins away was a big plus, as was the real French Champagne that…
Emily & Regis Wedding Party
Location: The Forum, Barcelona, Spain. The pre wedding party for Emily & Regis was in a huge marque situated in the Forum. When I arrived I saw 2 ‘tents’ one big and next to it one that was huge, I thought to myself it must be the smaller one, I soon realised it was both, the…
Drea & Brian Wedding, Granada
Location: Granada, Spain. A trip to Granada for work. I could not believe my luck and how I got the work was kind of convoluted, I had done a general mail out to agents and 2 months later a message from Angeles of Alhambra Weddings saying an American couple were coming to Granada to have an…
Roisin & Philip Wedding
Location: Mass Col, Catalunya, Spain This was a high jinx wedding. Form the inauspicious start when all the guests were trapped on the motorway when the coach broke down. We who were waiting on them were hanging around getting nervous as vague updates only confused as more. But, as is often the way, these little…
Charlotte & Nico, Poble Espanyol
Location: Poble Español, Barcelona, Spain Organiser: Crystal Events This was a hit the ground running affair as there was no preparation shots and maybe 30 mins before the ceremony started. The couple were French and Australian and cool to work with. This was another event organised by Crystal Events, Laura as always had it organised perfectly which…
Kate & David’s Catalunya Wedding, Spain
Location: Can Tallada, Catalunya, Spain Organiser: Crystal Events I love these excursions to nearby towns, there are loads of exclusive locations like this tucked away in corners of Catalunya which are perfect locations to enjoy a Catalunya wedding. Kate and David are from the United States and had quite a lot of friends and family over for what was still a very intimate…
Kate & Nick’s UK Wedding in Priston Mill
Location: Priston Mill, United Kingdom A trip to the UK. I love mixing work and travel. Having travelled a fair bit the novelty can wear off. But when there is work involved, the element of stress brings back the emotions that I remember. To go somewhere to work and then have a few days for yourself is…
Rod & Vanessa Wedding Vows
I got a call from this Canadian couple who had arrived in Barcelona and wanted some picture of them making vows to one another. They had no particular preference for a location and given time restraints I decided we should head to Montjuic where it is green and shady with views of the city. They…
Jose & Kristy Wedding in Barcelona
Location: Barcelona Organiser: Crystal Events This was my first wedding since being in Barcelona and my first wedding shot on digital. they were a cool couple, as soon as I entered the bedroom where the bride and her friends were getting ready I could see there would be plenty of scope for good pictures. I would not…
