Suzie and Lee, wedding photography at Bisham Abbey, Marlow, Buckinghamshire

29/10/2008 Posted in: Weddings Buckinghamshire — Tags: , , , , , , — by Neil Palmer

October has been a great month photographically, not only for the locations but also for the weather and autumnal colours.

Suzie and Lee got married at Bisham Abbey on the banks of the Thames. As well as this great location we also drive up to Winter Hill immediately after the ceremony to take some more shots with the fantastic views overlooking Marlow.

Below are some of my favourite shots. Quite a few of these were taken with my favourite lens the 135 F2. This separates beautifully the subject from the background and foreground. It also produces a wonderful painterly effect to the non focus areas, what we call in the trade ‘bokeh’ (japanese for dizzy). The whole set can of course be viewed by going to ‘Links’ above and then clicking on client area.

Suzie and Lee, hope you’re having a great time in Belize. You’ve done well to miss the snow, no kidding ! See you on your return.

Emma and Matt’s wedding in Etton Cambridgeshire

16/10/2008 Posted in: Weddings Cambridgeshire — Tags: , , , , , , , — by Neil Palmer

At last summer arrived – in mid October !

This must have been the most beautiful day of the year. Although I generally don’t like the sun when photographing it can have its benefits. One is the flare which gives some interesting results. The other is when the sun is low and about to hit the horizon. We deliberately waited for this and consequently got some great sunset shots. Once the sun has dipped below the horizon the light becomes very soft and directional as can be seen with the horse and moonlight shots. This is light that photographers and directors die for.

Emma and Matt got married at St Stephens in Etton near Peterborough. They were in fact minor celebrities for a while as they were the first couple to get married there in 10 years ! Quite amazing really when you look at the beautiful, tranquil location. This was followed by a marquee reception nearby with a cool jazz funk band, get funked

Below are some of my favourites. The complete set is also ready. Just go to ‘Links’ above, then ‘client area’ and finally enter the password (surnames that I’m sure you’ll have no trouble with !).

That’s all for now. Emma and Matt – hope you’re having a great honeymoon in Scotland. See you on your return
