| Wedding Photography Blog Series - Part 1: Finding YOUR Wedding Photographer: One of the very first stages of planning a wedding, after the date and venue are confirmed, is to select a wedding photographer. Now I may be slightly biased but it seems to me there are only three tangible elements of your wedding day that will last your whole life. Your dress, your wedding ring, and your photographs. And of these three, only the photographs can keep every other element of the day alive forever. Deciding how important your photographs are to you is the first stage in finding your perfect photographer. You only have one chance.... Read More |

| Pre-Wedding / Engagement Photoshoots: What an amazing weekend it's been across the country. I spent Saturday afternoon in a pretty village in Warwickshire with a fantastic couple whose wedding I'll be photographing next month.
Admittedly most of our time was spent enjoying a chat about the wedding in the beautiful sunshine, but we also took ten minutes to set up a few shots and give Will and Jen a taste of being in front of the camera.
As you can see, they had no reason to worry and after just a few minutes were completely relaxed and enjoying the whole experience..... Read More |

| Lifestyle Photography:
What is Lifestyle Photography? Lifestyle photography is a contemporary form of portrait photography. Its most common use refers to informal, natural-looking images of families, children or individuals.
Lifestyle photo-shoots are usually carried out "on location" outdoors, making use of natural scenery, unusual backdrops or even industrial settings. They may also take place around the home of the person or family being photographed.
The Cariad Collection is a Lifestyle photography package which has been developed especially for women. As.... Read More |

| Chester Wedding Feedback - A Great Result!: Wow! The Chester wedding event was great fun.

As always with me, ideas are already brewing and I'll keep blogging as things begin to take shape. I also have some more stunning wedding photographs to share with you, which I plan to upload next time... watch this space!.... Read More |

| Chester Wedding Event: What a fabulous month we're having here in beautiful Snowdonia. With the traditional exception of the Bank Holiday weekend, the days have been warm and mild, with the bluest of blue skies! A perfect month for the lifestyle shoots we've currently got booked... images to follow. And of course, for amazing Spring weddings. I'm looking forward to attending a special networking event in Chester tomorrow evening, which is just for wedding-related businesses. It's always fascinating to meet people from other areas of the wedding world, not only because.... Read More |

| Natural Family Portraits: Even in a studio setting, family portraits don't have to be formal and boring. Relaxed, happy portrait photographs are achievable, as long as the family is at ease with the photographer.
Elaine's family came into the studio in Gwynedd for some portrait photographs with their young children, and we all had a great time. When everyone is happily having fun the results can be really superb, and after a very short time it was easy to forget about the camera and lights!
We started off with everyone on the floor and asked the kids to climb.... Read More |

| Family Photo Shoot - Jade, WIll and Cian: Jade received a very cool present from a generous friend at Christmas - photo-shoot gift vouchers! So we had a fun morning at the studio with Cian last week and here are some of the shots, some of my favourites and some of Jade's! Family portrait photography doesn't have to take place in the studio either. Lifestyle portraits and location shoots are becoming increasingly popular, especially amongst young families. If you'd like to find out more about studio or Lifestyle portraits please call 01341 28 11 93.

Beautifully dressed in matching outfits, the five children were all happy to smile and pose for the camera with very little guidance fom me - they really were naturals! I've selected a few favourites to share with blog readers below:
Sally Marie offers fun family portrait photoshoots either at the studio, on location or at your home. For more information see the website http://www.sallymarie.co.uk/.... Read More |

| Winter Wedding at Penmaenuchaf Hall Hotel, Dolgellau: The week before Christmas saw some beautiful snowy weather around Penmaenpool, Dolgellau in stunning southern Snowdonia. Although on the day of Leanne and Richard's wedding at Penmaenuchaf Hall Hotel the grey skies held only rain showers, we still had lots of fun and even got everyone outside for a group shot (complete with umbrellas galore!) Winter weddings are fantastic for rich, atmospheric photographs with low light creating a wonderful sense of mood. Here are a few personal favourites from this particular winter wedding:
