In our Blog you will find Wedding, Portrait, Commercial, Family and some oddball Photography. We have been asked several times to define our style of Wedding photography and of course there is a whole host of words out there to describe photographic styles, photojournalism, reportage, traditional, documentary, fine art and the list goes on. We have come to realise that our (Ruth and I work together) style is based primarily around intimate images. We do all the other schtuff mentioned before but a common theme that runs through our work is 'intimacy'. The wedding is about the couple and the rest of us are there to observe. But ultimately it is about the love that the couple have for each other. That is what we seek to represent in the photographs we produce. You are the best judge of whether we succeed.
Well this was a Lake District Wedding Photographer assignment with a difference. This was probably the most challenging photographic assignment I have had. First of all I have never taken photographs of babies before and most of all trying to photograph newly born twins is just not easy! Feel free to comment whether you like the results or not. Both Dane and Katy were kept fully occupied in keeping the youngsters happy. As they were premature they are effectively one week old and are not yet able to hold their heads up on their own. Of course the inevitable happened and soon as Katy took the nappies off my backdrop cloth was anointed! The skin colour of the babies is totally different and attempting to get both settled at the same time proved a little difficult. One thing we all learnt was that we need to turn the heating up! Our plan is to photograph every four months or so and chart the changing nature and progression of both children. In the meantime my best wishes go to Dane and Katy, they have their hands full!
