After the weather we had for Kate and Matt’s pre-wedding shoot I suppose it was a bit too much to hope for a dry, decent day. As was forecast it was wet and windy (or grismal as my wife likes to call it – grey and dismal) but that didn’t dampen the enthusiasm or fun...
This morning I travelled into central London to meet kate and Matt who are getting married next month in St Albans in hertfordshire.

This was a shorter assignment but there were still quite a few ‘must have’ shots to get including the group photographs which had to be done inside due it being dark and cold! The ceremony was lovely...

Yesterday saw me cover my first wedding of 2012 and I couldn’t have asked for a nicer couple. Saul and Catherine were getting married at Down Hall Hotel in Hertfordshire and even though it was January it remained reasonably dry if a but blustery at times!

A couple of months ago I wrote about how I had won a wedding photography award from a professional body who give critique and feedback to wedding photographers.
