Photography; the Wedding photographer

Wedding photography.... having taken the photos at two weddings, I really wanted to brush up my skills, speak to a professional wedding photographer and others in the field. It was a great day, met so many like minding people and Adam Riley was our master - giving us his top tips on wedding photography - the do's and don'ts, what works for him and what doesn't. Then speaking to other photographers who have either wedding photography businesses or those who are looking to get into it.

Our models were brilliant, patient and very photogenic (always helpful)..... from the 2 hours photo shot and a couple of hours post processing these are my highlights for the day.... all set ready for the next big day.... :) 

Photography: Flash.. on and off camera

Photography: Edinburgh, Scotland

Went to Scotland for the first time this year, fabulous visit to Edinburgh. Awesome city, loved the Old Town. The soundtrack of the bag pipes filling the air. Tartan everywhere and the odd head of  bright ginger hair!!
