The Memories Thru a Lens Blog

I photographed Andy & Hazel’s wedding at Elcot Park in Berkshire, it was an overcast day with showers here and there but that didn’t bother me I knew we would get some fantastic images and I was extremely pleased with them as I set about post processing them.

Elcot Park is a lovely wedding venue, it has a historic building and some lovely ground looking across the Berkshire countryside which provide a prefect backdrop for the artistic style of photographs of the bride and groom which I like to take.  Andy and Hazel really are a lovely couple, I don’t think ether of them stopped grinning all day and I felt very honored to be able to capture it for them.

I hadn’t shot at Elcot Park before so I was really looking forward to their day, I really enjoy shooting at a new location it really keeps my creative juices flowing as its a whole new canvas that I haven’t used before, so photographer prefer to shoot a the same venues over and over again perhaps because they are a perfect supplier for said venue, but for me its better creatively and more challenging to mix it up a bit and shoot here there and everywhere.  That said I never shoot in the same way even at a venue I know, to me its about the couple not the venue, its the couple who would dictate how I will shoot on their wedding day as I do it in more a documentary way than a posed one to enable me to get that loving look and emotional moment that can not be faked.

I particular enjoyed with Andy and Hazel shooting their bride and groom portraits, they radiated happiness on their wedding day the love they feel for each other was clear, so for me it was a perfect combination to get some great images.
