Alexandra + Richard [ The Wedding ] | The RSA House

This was a wedding recently shot at The RSA House in London. It was something new for me as I have never shot a pregnant bride before. Alexandra and Richard first met at their work place and their relationship quickly turned into something special. The venue was chosen to support the Charitable work of the RSA. It is a 1770’s beautifully restored Georgian building located just off the Strand in Central London. The ceremony were to take place at the basement in the Vaults. The lightings down at the vaults were very low and challenging and once again my trustworthy 5D Mark II were put to the test! Everything went smoothly as planned and I had a great time working with couple and the whole crowd. Here are some shots from the day…

Rhiannon + Neil [ The Wedding ] | Egerton Grey Country House

One thing I love about my job is that I get invited to all sorts of new places and they are all cool places! Last month I got to shoot a big asian wedding at Manchester United Football Club and last week I was invited to Egerton Grey Country House Hotel in Porthkerry, near Barry where Rhiannon is marrying her long time partner Neil. As always, I arrived early to have a look around and scout the place for some ideas for later. The place was just too perfect for a small english wedding. The classic english style property was situated on a beautiful piece of land surrounded by a breath taking view. There’s a small garden and tarrace outside the property – perfect for outdoor portraiture. The only thing that worries me was that it was a cloudy day and I can see dark clouds moving its way closer

Snowy Wales

Britain was hit by a massive snow fall last few days and for Wales it was the heaviest since the 80’s. Last Wednesday saw 5 to 6 inches of snow at our place. School’s closed and my wife was snowed in and couldn’t get to work..so for the first time ever since we moved here, we had the chance to enjoy the snow as a family! Being in Wales, it’s not easy to see snow this thick. Meet the latest member of our clan – ‘Mr. Sledge’ – name given by Danial

Winter Romance

I went out to Cardiff during the big fall on Wednesday in search for some good snow images for my stock portfolio. Most of them are the usual snow scene with white landscape and trees covered with snow. But just when my fingers started to feel numb from the sub-zero temperature this young couple stopped about 100 yards away from me and started embracing each other! The scene was just like in the movies and was too good to be true..I quickly pulled my long lens and managed to have a quick snap before they parted and walked towards me. I didn’t even get the chance to meter the shot! Almost like a quick draw in a cowboy shoot-out.. and as the young couple walked past me, I had a quick glance on my screen and to my amazement the shot came out perfect! It made my day. Talking about

Welsh Football League One Champions

ENTO Aberaman travelled to Powys last week to seal their place at the top of MacWhirter Welsh League Division One and they’ve done it in a very stylish 8-0 win over Dinas Powys. With the win ENTO overtook rival team Goytre United with just 1 point. ENTO now hopes that the celebration will continue pending their appeal to the Welsh Premier League Board who has rejected their promotion application after ground inpection. However, ENTO officials are confident that the issue will be resolved in time before the next season. All the best to them! Here’s a few shots from the game..
