Investing in Wedding Photography. Canon R6 Mark ii

October 12, 2023

I have been capturing weddings since 2001. In those days at the turn of the 21st century I was shooting film and getting through 15-20 rolls per wedding. Those days of film, thankfully have long gone! 

My style of wedding photography is that of story telling and getting high quality images. I feel the Canon R6 Mark ii is my perfect companion. Image quality is breath taking. Focus speed is unreal. A dream camera with if I want to use, 40 frames per second.

I also use the amazing range of Canon lenses as I demand nothing but the highest quality in the image. This is prefect for clients as when they use the USB they have in their package, they can produce photographs suitable for large frames of a canvass.

Please contact me here to talk about wedding photography for your day.

Looking back to different venues with over 20 years of wedding photography.

July 28, 2023

This image was taken at a private house in Chelsea. A very special moment during the Malay Wedding Cermony. After the wedding at Chelsea Old Town Hall the couple and guests celebrated in Chelsea with magnificent Malayasian food.

The couple invited me to capture the complete story of the day. It began with the bride getting ready and concluded after the first dance. Full day coverage starting at £895.

 

 

Chelsea Old Town Hall Wedding PhotographyChelsea Old Town Hall Wedding PhotographyLocated on the famous King’s Road, Chelsea Old town Hall provides an ideal and charming backdrop for a wedding
Chelsea Old Town Hall is popular setting for civil marriage ceremonies and receptions.
Address: Chelsea Old Town Hall, King's Road, Kensington and Chelsea, London, SW3 5EE.
One of the best ways to understand traditional Malay culture is to participate in a Malay wedding, which is fascinating and steeped in age-old traditions. A Malay wedding begins with an akad nikah ceremony. The groom signs the marriage contract and agrees to provide the bride with a mas kahwin or dowry. The bride and groom will undergo many rituals such as the berinai besar ceremony where the fingers are painted with henna. On the day of the wedding, the groom arrives with his entourage of relatives and friends. He is accompanied by musicians beating the kompang (a percussion instrument) and followers carrying the bunga manggar or palm blossoms. As they arrive at the bride’s home, the entourage will be greeted with the sprinkling of yellow rice and scented water. Sometimes, performances such as pencak silat (the Malay martial arts) are held. Elderly representatives of the bride and groom engage in a custom called berbalas pantun, where poems made up of amusing verses are exchanged between the two parties. To add gaiety to the joyful affair, the groom and his party are sometimes required to overcome humorous obstacles before being allowed in.
