    Professional Wedding Photography Training

    As a Master Craftsman and a Craftsman of theGuild of Photographers, we were delighted to be invited to provide basic wedding photography training to a group of Guild Members at The Upper House, Stoke on Trent. Day one was was business training by Guild Director Steve Thirsk. We took over for day two. We worked through a whole wedding day showing the basics of posing, lighting and how to run a wedding day.

    Each delegate had the opportunity to work with the couple in a range of ‘real wedding’ locations and situations that could occur on a live wedding!

    “I especially liked the way you made us adapt to different situations, ie lighting, space, surroundings etc. and the finer details, it opened my eyes, it really made me think. As a wedding photography newbie, it helped me more than you will ever know. ”

  • Emergency Wedding Cover

    Emergency Wedding Cover

    Emergency Wedding Cover was provided by us for the wedding of Suzanne and Roy. At 1.40pm we were happily going about our tasks in the office and home, when Sue Nightingale from Fennes called. The wedding photographer due at Fennes had sent the Bride an email  just ONE hour prior to the ceremony saying she was not going to attend!! At 2.20pm Sandra and I started photographing the wedding of Suzanne and Roy, even though we did not know their names at this stage. The Registrars had kindly delayed the Ceremony to give us time to arrive. When we had finished the photographs, we spoke briefly with the couple to find who had let them down. They had booked their original photographer on Groupon without meeting her! They had had trouble contacting her which had unfortunatly not rung the alarm bells. Sadly the world seems full of so called photographers, who are very unprofessional and Brides will continue to book them just thinking about a great price and not what they REALLY get for it. Please do check that your chosen photographer has: some level of PROFESSIONAL wedding photography experience; insurance; back-up equipment; professional qualifications; a physical address as well as a website and somebody to call on in an emergency. A wedding can not be rescheduled or photographed at a later date so be aware the sort of risks you may take by trying to save a few pounds. Maybe not our most creative wedding photography ever but it fulfilled the simple requirements that Suzanne and Roy requested. Not every couple gets as luck as Suzanne and Roy.
