After a late night shooting a booth at a wedding at Elmers Court I had to get up at 4am to shoot a trash the dress session with Mark and Kirsten who got married at Parley Manor last year. We have tried several times to get out but the good old british weather let us down. Today the weather showed us all her glory in the style of a beautiful summer sunrise, definitely worth the early start.
Not many couples are happy to get in the water at dawn, and I’m very thankful that Kirsten and Mark were game for this shoot. We had an amazing time, and entertained the local fishermen at the same time.
I had a plan put together for this shoot which involved dunes and sand bars but due to a rapid spring tide, a beautiful sunrise and an excitable dog (murphy) this all went out of the window. I flew by the seat of my pants with my off camera flash and enjoyed every minute of it. I think you’ll agree as the results speak for themselves. SEE THE SHOOT
Big thanks to Mark and Kirsten for being great sports and braving the English water.
After completing a BA(hons) degree in Photography at Plymouth University I quickly realised my skills were with the interaction with my subjects in front of the lens. I left the graphical side of the industry to work in a studio, which I did for 4 years running 10 studios across the South coast. I then left to work for myself photographing children at nurseries, child of the year competitions, and schools. I have now focused on wedding photography as I have a passion for the creative photograph. I have found weddings give me the freedom to express this creativity whilst enjoying my work and those around me.
