With the new wedding season underway, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of my favourite wedding dresses and wedding dress photos.

A client recently expressed interest in my grading skills (that is the manipulation of colours and tones to create a look) with regards to their proposed wedding pictures. Having seen some of my TV commercial work which I had graded,  they wanted to see how their wedding photos would look if they were treated with a hand coloured or art deco feel.

Lets move onto the wedding which was at Manchester Town Hall. As ever Manchester Town Hall was a slendid venue and even more striking decked out in Christmas decorations and winter wedding colours. For me a beautiful final touch was the use of candles on tall candlelarbra which ment that I could shoot through these to amazing effect. Ben and Catherine make a wonderful couple.

It has been a busy 10 days, but as promised in Part 1, it's time to catch up with Catherine as she prepares for her big day at Manchester Town Hall. Catherine has a fantastic wedding dress. An elegant 1930's design totally at home in an art deco city such as Paris or Rome. It is one of the most stylish dresses I have seen and Catherine looks terrific. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself.

I photographed a beautiful Christmas wedding at two of Manchester city centres most stunning locations, the Town Hall and the Midland Hotel. In part 1 I'd like to open with the shots of the beautiful bride, Catherine getting ready for her big day. I hope you enjoy the wedding photos.

I thought I would republish a recent article that went on the Boho Wedding Blog website.

Wedding Photography with Photoamor: Love At First Focus

Writing about images is an odd pursuit. Why write words when you have the picture? Must you explain the reason behind the rhyme?

I had a fantastic time shooting the winter wedding of Catherine and Ben last week. The wedding took place at Manchester Town Hall and then the wedding reception was at The Midland, in The Trafford Suite. I am hard at work editing the wedding pictures into the story of their day. I wanted to share a few preview shots and thank Catherine, Ben and their families for looking after me so well on the day.
