I recently received an offer of services from this photographic retoucher, his work is truly remarkable, not in the way you expect. Please take a look, and you have to wait for the whole thing to load, it gets better as you get further down the page…..www.chakree.in/weddingdemo/index.html

Next wedding photography job: Kent

Less than two more weeks to go until I return to London to photograph another wedding, this time in Kent, with more friends of a friend. It will most certainly be a lovely wedding, lots of it seems to be outside, walking from church to reception, or drinks in the garden so I desperately hope for some sun, as I am sure do Chloe and Rob.

Back from Issy and Andrew’s wedding in Wiltshire

The weather in Wiltshire was terrible this time, torrential rain that flooded the barn etc etc, so almost everything was moved inside. The light (darkness) and space made the photography pretty difficult but the people were as beautiful and fun as ever so there were at least some aspects that were easy. Off to the Opera House soon and then of course will start editing tonight and then for 24 hours on Monday in order to get the prints done beofre I return to Mexico City. Will post the images of Issy and Andrew’s wedding in a few days I imagine.

First wedding of the year (for me – apart from my own)

About to set off for my first wedding photography job this year. It is remarkable how I still get quite nervous beforehand. I have photographed a wedding at this very same house before, a couple of years ago and it was extremely beautiful. I am quite sure this will be no less so. Working as a wedding photographer is certainly quite strange work, as it is within a completely un-worky context so all a bit confusing, there are brilliant sides to this but it also somehow increases the pressure I think. Maybe not, but anyway, I do still get very nervous, much much more than I do for any other work, even if it is photographing Ian Paisley and I am not quite sure why. Well obviously, the responsibility of a wedding photographer is quite vast on a personal level and somehow this feels closer and more terrific than most solely proffesional responsibilties.

This is the house in Ashbury, Wiltshire at which the wedding today is taking place:

First wedding photography jobs of 2010

Only a couple of weeks to go until I leave Mexico City for London to photograph my first two weddings of the year. It will be strange to do some proper work again after so much adventure, newness and fun. And more so having recently celebrated my own wedding in the mountains of the Sierra Gorda. But I am very much looking forward to it, the first one is in a beautiful country house with beautiful people (some of whom I know) and I am sure will be very enjoyable. The second is in the Royal Opera House with an very nice couple and a relatively very small group of people. Weddings that take place completely inside always scare me a bit for some reason but I just need to go and have a quick look around with a model during the week and remember to concentrate a bit more than usual. I would be quite pathetic if I did not manage to get some good photographs in such a setting. I have my new 5d mark II which makes life a lot easier.

Recently have been getting more enquiries for this year which is excellent, mostly in the UK of course but a couple in Mexico. It looks as though I will be there for a week or so at the end of May/beginning of June and then from the end of June until the end of September. I am thinking of coming back after Chole and Rob’s wedding at the end of June for a wedding here in Guadalajara but it does not really make sense and may coinside with the Tayor Wessing Portrait Prize deadline in which case I will stay in London to print and hand in my 6 images – not sure what they will be but I suppose I may as well keep entering.

Everyone here seems to get married in Guadalajara, I have just received yet another wedding photography enquiry from there.
