Wedding Season 07

Having started this blog late in the year and then being overwhelmed by the rush up to Christmas with portraits, I haven't posted much wedding work! So here goes - some of my favourite images.This was all wedding photography Bristol wise!

There are some more unconventional ones where I love the energy and the dynamics of the composition such as the BW steps. Despite the unconventional cropping the emotion of the picture fits the visual dynamics perfectly!

Dark Skies

One of our favourite techniques here at Blue Skies is the use of off camera flash underexposing the scene to create really dramatic portraits. We were walking with my family recently on a really windy day and this photo just came about. There's something about it I really like - but can't quite figure what it is...!

The Hooper Family

We love capturing natural, unposed shots at the studio and its great to have people that bring their own ideas for a shoot. Ben and Catherine had plenty and we got some great shots! These are two of my favourite - still moments from quite a busy shoot with mother and son at perfect ease and one with dad. The stripes they all wore were perfect for creating really strong images.

Belly Painting

A new idea instigated by meeting an excellent body painter, Helen. Let us know what you think, but we love this. Choose a design or bring ideas with you for the belly painting and get a fantastic shot as well. you control over how you remember your pregnancy before the busyness of parenthood!

Pregnancy Shoot

Sometimes a pregnacy shoot demands something a little different. Especially when its your own. I love strong graphic imagery - check out American photographer Harry Callaghan's studies of Eleanor - and this takes a similar approach, making the most of positive and negative space.

Mysterious Dorset

Swanage, Dorset. Theres two types of people here - Indians and Dead People. Only Joking, its a great part of the world populated by Steam Trains and Hill Walkers, with all the usual strangeness of a seaside resort. Oh, and on New Years Eve everyone dresses up Fancy-like.
