Wedding testimonials

Tidying up the office I came across two cards that I'd not seen. Both these weddings were in Summer 2009.

Hannah and Adam won the Wyvern FM Runaway Bride competition, so they got us for free, but they didn't actually choose us so it could have been a disaster. But it wasn't:

When we first met you at the Runaway Bride Auditions immediately we knew you would both be our photographers at our wedding, to capture every special moment. This was without a shadow of a doubt even if we hadn't won the competition!

We really cannot express our thanks to you for all your hard work, not only on our wedding day but also in the build up to it! We are thrilled to have met to! And we are pleased to help you in any events you may have in the future. Hannah and Adam Newton-Smith

Christina and Kevin wrote:

We just wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you so much for our fantastic wedding pictures. We are really pleased with them all, so natural and flattering they tell a story better than any video - plus none of the cringe-worthy bits! Every aspect of the day was captured so beautifully, we couldn't have wished for anything better. Enclosed is a small token of our appreciation. Love and best wishes, Christina and Kevin Quinn

And the gave us a voucher for some wine! Blimey!

So what makes us different to every other (arrogant, self-absorbed, prima-donna, grasping) wedding photographers? We work as a genuinely equal professional couple, which reduces all the stress. We capture both sides of the story without changing the events, and we give you all the photos without trying to ring more money out of you later or discarding your precious moments.

Simple really, and it's why we photographed (unobtrusively, sensitively and inexpensively) three times as many weddings in 2009 as in 2008. Why not give us the opportunity to quote for your big day?

Lutes are cool

Rachel was commissioned to take these pictures for local lutenist Liz Pallett. Liz's text when she received the pictures:

"Rachel, I think they are really FAB!! Some are just stunning! Just what I was after. I'm over the moon!!"

It really helped to have a tight brief - Liz knew exactly what she wanted and Rachel got it.

Wyvern FM runaway bride Hannah and Adam's Big Day!

On the cover of Worcestershire Life!!

This month's Worcestershire life has a few of our pictures on the front cover! Fleet street here we come.

Actually, photographing dogs is tricky, so we done good!

Megan Baker House Photography Exhibition at Malvern Theatres

The Megan Baker House exhibition has hit the road, and is on exhibition for the next month at the prestigeous Malvern Theatres.

The Theatres is a lovely modern light building, and about 700 people a day pass through it's doors, so we hope they like the pictures.

It makes a change from teaching photography courses!

Megan Baker House Photography Exhibition

An exhibition of our work opened last night before touring England, and we feel the need to tell everyone about it! It's for charideee, so we don't like to talk about it, but we spent a week (pro bono) at Megan Baker House, where they use conductive education to help people who have been brain injured - perhaps by cerebral palsy, head injury or Parkinson's Disease. Megan Baker House provides conductive education this for free, and people travel there from all over the country to re-learn how to use their limbs. They have no funding from central government, and constantly need to publicise themselves and their work.

To find out more about their work have a look at www.meganbakerhouse.org.uk

The exhibition will be touring to Malvern, Worcester, Hereford and Liverpool, among other UK cities.

We photographed the clients using very wide apertures to accentuate their individuality and to blur a cluttered background. It's a working space, not a studio! The trick to this was not making it look like torture, but not making it look easy either.

Caro Sweet

We were asked to photograph the famous sculptor Caro Sweet's open evening for Worcestershire Life at her studio in Bransford. What an amazing woman! It's fascinating to see such a diverse collection of sculptures! It also turned out that we know each other...how fab to hook up again!
