You’re Beautiful

Dove (you know, the soap company) did that big campaign not too long ago with the tag-line “Campaign For Real Beauty”. The accompanying video (this one) is a really interesting watch.

I’m not a lady so I can’t truly say that I understand the pressure heaped upon me by adverts and magazines with women who appear to be absolutely perfect. I can however say, with authority, that no woman is perfect – even models – and we all need a little help from the magic tools that Photoshop provides.

Fire Walk With Me

Met up recently with a mate, Tim, who does Fire Poi. We’d planned all sorts of different photos we could try, but when you’re actually there and doing them you realise how tough it’ll be to do them! I’m looking forward to another shoot soon so I can apply all the lessons I learnt in this shoot.

Gemma + Ben’s Engagement Shoot

Had such a good time at Ringwood Hall with Ben + Gemma for their Engagement Shoot! Here’s my favourites from the day.

Amy + Andrew’s Engagement Shoot

It was great to meet Amy + Andrew before their wedding – I’ll be posting their complete wedding photos in due course! As I mentioned in the Sneak Peek, the weather was awful when we headed to Sheffield for this shoot. Thankfully, we found sanctuary by running in-between different buildings. One good thing was that the light was beautiful and soft.

The sun finally shone towards the end of the shoot and they were rather pleased…

Gemma + Ben’s Engagement Sneak Peek

Looking forward to their wedding! It will be the first time I’ve shot a wedding at the Crooked Spire and, judging by the Engagement Shoot, Gemma + Ben are going to be a hoot! Yep, I said “hoot” – another first!

Amy + Andrew’s Engagement Sneak Peek

Matt — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 17:27:55 +0000

Ah, the ever-brilliant English weather. Amy + Andrew are over from Canada and must be regretting their decision to get married in England now – apparently it’s lovely and warm over there at the moment!

They get married on Saturday and I’m sure it’s going to be a fun wedding!

Andrew + Kelly’s Engagement Shoot

Matt — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 08:42:58 +0000

I mentioned it in the Sneak Peek but I’m saying it again: I know their wedding is going to be cool because Andrew and Kelly’s engagement shoot was just loads of fun!

Lisa + Ashley’s Engagement Shoot

Matt — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 19:16:04 +0000

Being a wedding photographer can be a scary proposition sometimes. You’ve got to nail it every single time. As I mentioned in the Sneak Peek, taking on the job of being a friend’s wedding photographer is an even more epic decision. I just hope I’ve done them justice so far with their engagement shoot!

Aside from the nerves, I’m really looking forward to seeing them tie the knot. They’re a really special couple and probably the nicest pair of people on planet Earth.
