Welcome to the Natural Expressions Photography blog, a regularly updated extension to the website. Here, you'll be able to have a look at images from recent shoots, and read my ramblings and thoughts on anything photography.
Have fun, and please contact me if there is anything you would like to see here...
I’m just too excited! I’m off to South Africa on Friday as part of a 3 week commission to shoot people and wildlife in a private Game Reserve.
Hopefully I’ll be able to get some great shots, and I’ll post a few on my return.
Please note that there may be some delay in responding to emails, so please bear with me - I return on the 21st May.
One of my favourite parts of photography at a wedding is during the ceremony - if I am allowed by the powers that be!
Most vicars and registrars allow photography to some degree, but there are a few out there who place restrictions including:
The best place for me is close to the altar, so I am looking at the happy couple - there’s some great emotion going on here, and I am able to capture it all!
Sometimes, I have to stand at the back of the church/venue - this is still OK, as I am able to use long lenses to get reasonably close to the couple. It also allows me to get some great environmental shots showing church backgrounds (very often a lovely stained glass window).
When I am told that there is no photography allowed, I am stuck! I will do my best to get photographs but I can guarantee that I will be being watched by a hawk-eyed figure!
If you are booking your church or ceremony venue, please ask about any restrictions on photography - remember, the ceremony is what it’s all about, and if it’s not photographed, it’s gone forever.
