You've been framed! This powerful image shows just how effective the use of props can be on your big day. In this instance, just a simple vintage picture frame completely transforms the 'formal portrait' session to stunning effect. To achieve this, we advised the bride beforehand to bring quirky objects with her on the day that were personal to her. They not only make the photo unique & different but also inject a sense of fun into the proceedings.

This heightened level of creativity is what we strive for - to give you that something a little bit different which will make your big day more memorable. To achieve the shot above, we put the focus on the couple in the frame, intentionally blurring out the flower-girl and page-boy in the foreground to create a frame within a frame. By doing this your eye is directed to the happy couple but also tells a wider story at the same time. The final effect is a distinctive image that's both contemporary and original and yet also retains a timeless quality.

A recent photo from a summer wedding. The bride chose to release white doves over picturesque Richmond - and I was privileged to be there to capture it. Suffice to say I only had one shot at this one! I thought i would share it with you because the results are absolutely stunning. In fact, so happy with the image, i've given it a name; to paraphrase popstar Prince "this is what it looks like when doves fly". If you like it please feel free to leave a comment below, thanks.
