ISPWP Spotlight

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

The ISPWP is run by Joe Milton . I have no idea if Joe knows this, but he was one of the reasons I got into wedding photography 6-7 years ago. I was online looking through local wedding photographers in the UK and wanted to see something different, something that told a story, as opposed to a whole series of group and posed shots. SO I started to google phrases that I thought might lead me to find something I like. Of course the word “photojournalist”, which is all too commonplace now, was not really being used back then and so I really had to search hard to find what I was looking for. And then all of a sudden this guy from Portland in The US came up. Its fair to say I was emotionally moved by his images and bookmarked his site immediately. I guess its fair to say that Joe was probably one of the first, along with a few others to be shooting this style of wedding photography and it really hit a chord with me.

Joe is also the founder of the ISPWP, which is an organisation I am very proud to belong to. It has some amazing wedding photographers as its members and the standard is being raised all the time.

Its also a real honour that Joe has chosen to spotlight my photography, I am now in my 7th year of shooting weddings, its been hard work , but 7 years of real fun and excitement. I’m continually being inspired by others and hope that this continues to be the case for many years to come.

Julia + Nick | Burwalls, Bristol

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Where to start on this one is tricky. For those of you that follow me on twitter, this is the wedding where I reversed into Julia’s Porsche……..not a great start to any day but when its your brides car it’s even worse. Putting aside my lack of driving skills, this was a really great day. Julia’s father lives in the most picturesque spot overlooking the Bristol Channel, the views were amazing and its where I also bumped into Amy Morris, who was the make up artist for that. I shot Amy’s wedding just over 2 years ago and it was great to catch up again.

The Clifton suspension bridge played quite a major role in the wedding, Burwalls, the venue has a view of the bridge and Nick lived on one side and Julia on the other, before they met, (like a north/south divide)

It was an emotionally charged day, Julia lost her mother 2 years ago and Julia’s dad, Roger, gave a wonderful speech that had alot of the room teary eyed.

Here are a few images from their day.
