CHRISTMAS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY, THE WEDDING OF EMMA AND SIMON AT ST. CLEMENT DANES CHURCH, CENTRAL LONDON AND THE ROYAL NAVAL COLLEGE, GREENWICH

2011-12-23T01:25:00.000-08:00

Welcome to London, welcome to the Christmas wedding of Emma and Simon. Christmas is a special time of the year that makes the wedding celebration a magical experience. The photography around this time is tricky and demanding - you need to use all the low light capabilities of your equipment and merge it with the finest photography skills you have. The day started at The Rookery - a nice boutique hotel in London, one of the oldest hotels out there. The hotel proved to be a nice place for the getting ready photos, an intimate place for bridal preparations. The ceremony was held at the St. Clement Danes Church in Central London followed by a boat ride on the River Thames to the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich . That is one of the most amazing wedding venues I've seen, check it out yourself in the photos below, a spectacular place to do wedding photography in London.

Rooftops of London, the view from the top floor of The Rookery.

St. Clement Danes Church, a nice place to exchange the wows in the heart of London.

Love this shot, pushing the limits with my Nikon D3s here.

Love this one as well, looking back at the Tower Bridge.

Few wedding photos at the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich.

Love the low light capabilities of my Nikon kit, nothing beats the D3s and those fixed lenses in this regard.

WEDDING OF KATELYN AND PIERRE, CHATEAU DE CHALLAIN, FRANCE

2011-10-24T03:45:00.000-07:00

Welcome to France, welcome to the wonderful Chateau de Challain - a place for your fairy tail wedding. I was invited to photograph the wedding of Katelyn and Pierre the other day and look what I came up with. I love shooting weddings in autumn - just look at the light - it looked like it was a sunset all day. Check out those wedding guests - so chilled and relaxed - a chilled atmosphere. It was meant to be a good day - the harpist had taken his dog with him to the wedding - so the dog was cheering up the people during the reception, check out those photos below. Perfect day for me, great wedding photographs for the couple. That's what i love about doing the wedding photography.

Enjoy.

Back in France this week - this time for a double wedding of Liora and Alexander and Masha and Aleksey. Strange times, you know :) this was the first double wedding I was invited to photograph and it turned out to be great. The other thing that made this wedding different from others is that it was a Russian wedding. The couple came all the way from Moscow to get married in France. Thank you Masha and Liora for inviting me to do your wedding photos. We had a fun day taking the wedding photos in the rain and oh boy, they know how to party :) All the best to you guys and greetings to the best wedding venue - Chateu de Challain in France.
