Performing At Your Own Wedding!

We have met bridal parties who do their own hair and makeup, grooms who would prefer to walk than hire a car and brides who want to be given away by their children but this was a first - a groom performing in his own wedding band! Scott and Alice got married on Saturday July 26th (their photography highlights are below this post) and we thoroughly enjoyed watching Scott perform in the evening. The band was from Guildford and we have even photographed two of the members before when covering weddings in Bristol and Guildford (it's a small world)! They were really excellent it has to be said and brought back memories of playing in bands and photographing sweaty gigs in the press pit!

The Wedding of Scott & Alice

We had a lovely time today with Scott and Alice who got married at Emmanuel College in Cambridge. It was another hot one (two consecutive, 'hottest days of the year so far') which meant the guests were in high spirits! The day was tinged with a little sadness however because the couple are off to live in Egypt at the end of the summer. This made the wedding day an emotional one for all. Some of our favourite photographs are below.

The Wedding Of Mick & Maria

Congratulations to Michael & Maria who celebrated their wedding in the capital of the fens on Friday 25th July! It was a hot one but in the gardens of Peckover House in Wisbech the guests seemed to be having a great time (and quite a few glasses of Pims it seemed)! Here are some of our favourites and we look forward to showing the newly-weds the rest when they are back from honeymoon!

The (pretend) Wedding Of Ronald & Ann

We had a more unusual wedding to photograph this week - it wasnt actually a real wedding! Ronald & Ann are actually getting married in Hong Kong in October but whilst on holiday in the UK they wanted a set of 'Cambridge' themed wedding photographs! We spent an entire afternoon shooting wedding pictures and a more casual set of pre-wedding photographs with them. We walked miles to take in all the sights of Cambridge and the weather was incredible so we are sure that Ronald & Ann will remember the experience for some time to come. It was great fun for us too because we had the luxury of time! Real weddings often do not so we relished the chance to be experimental with a bride and groom... as you can see below!

The Wedding of Mike & Hayley

Congratulations to Mike and Hayley as they celebrated their wedding on Saturday 19th July! It was a lovely wedding set deep in the Suffolk countryside only a few miles from Lavenham. The weather was mixed but generally kind and helped add to an outdoor, family atmosphere with lots and lots of children. There was also lots of football taking place and yes one did hit us straight in the face! We did get quite obsessed over the fantastic wedding car - as you can see it was spectacular!

Baby Phoebe

We met one of the cutest babies we have ever had the pleasure of photographing last week! Phoebe is a gorgeous 8 month old with striking blue eyes, lovely chubby features and a personality to match. She smiled, giggled and chuckled her way through her portrait session and gave us the chance to try out some lighting ideas (babies usually get bored after half an hour so we relished this opportunity)! Although a happy little soul, it is the more serious ones that really stand out from her session. We think the dreamy, concentrating faces sum babies up fmuch better than the big happy smiles!

It's worth mentioning again that if you have a cute baby and want some professional photography done then we will give you a FREE portrait session if you mention this blog entry! Just give us a call on (01223) 711508 or e-mail info@stillvision.co.uk.

The Wedding of Matt & Jo

Congratulations to Matt & Jo whose wedding was held at Queens College on Saturday 12th July. Their wedding was a very well dressed one with lots of gorgeous people which makes a photographer's job easier. I tried my best to blend in with the gorgeous guests and was snapped in some very fetching sunglasses (part of an abstract photographic art project by one of the guests I think)! A big well done to mother of the groom who made the fantastic cake, it was spectacular.
