Yes, I’ve taken a whole week to process these beauties, my bad 
I got so into the idea of poppies & poppy fields…I totally forgot that I don’t like red in photos, clashes with my orange! oh well…thats what post-processing is for
Seriously though, try to take a bad picture when your location & model look this good:
These shots are the reson I set up this shoot – I really wanted a netted veil in my portfolio – hopefully to inspire furutre brides how awesome they look!
Next to the poppy field was a field of tall grass, just waiting to be used… & as the poppy field was overcrowded with photographers, we headed over & got a few more shots:
There were loads to pick from, (& I may blog a few more in the future…) but as this wasn’t for a client I could be insane with my editing/deleting & really go for the ones I wanted!
BTW. I apologise to my regulars for having to have a little copyright watermark on all the images now, I hate having to do it, but someone brought some image theft to my attention recently & I really didn’t want these to go without credit!! – although I need to find a better, neater way to protect the images…
Heres a sneak peak from yesterdays amazing photoshoot, believe me…the rest are *REALLY* good & involve a model… a wedding dress & POPPIES!!!! 
Stay tuned!
Jen & Andrew’s wedding at Roffey Place Bible College was a fantastic day, such a confident, creative couple, with amazing welcoming, friendly guests & with so many gorgeous little details The weather wasn’t sure what it wanted to do, we started off with rain, but as we past the vows the sun started to appear & gave us some really nice light to play with!
My regular readers (we must be in the double figures now! ) will remember their engagement session from a few months back
Their reception took place at the stunning Mannings Heath Golf Course, my first time at the venue – but hopefully not my last! I could probably shoot a wedding a day there (everyday forever!) & still be inspired
Andrew is a (very talented!) graphic designer, and used my photos for the order of service & welcome boards amongst other things It was a proud moment to walk into the reception & see this – BTW guys, If you have a spare order of service I’ll give it a good home!, didn’t think to pick one up on the day!
Andrew has Jennifer’s name engraved on the inside of his wedding ring – was tough to photograph without resorting to a macro, but how awesome is that for a detail:)
Stunning colour scheme & a cake that both looked amazing….and tasted it I love it when couples have great taste
& as any wedding Photographer will confirm, this is a truly rare honour An actual place at the reception Seriously How awesome are these guys! I kept my name card & its sitting proudnly atop my monitor
For some reason my browser keeps crashing when trying to post this bad boy…perhaps 2 weeks of non-blogging have messed up the workings of my blog… digital rust perhaps? Thankfully auto-save does its job!
What has happened this past week, its been non-stop, I’m slowly realizing there aren’t enough hours in the day!
I’ve had so many shoots this week, so many meetings, so many emails & so many side projects that all seem to be converging into a giant pile of unfinished work – Thankfully I shot a stunning wedding last saturday, that I enjoyed immensely, & I’m trying to get processed as soon as possible! (Nearly finished!)
Add that to the fact I have builders working in the room below me, with industrial power tools, which seem to move everything in my office… It just seems like….
Actually things aren’t as bleak as they seem hehe. I’m loving the busy lifestyle… I actually went into Brighton a few days ago & found it relaxing (which, as anyone who knows Brighton will confirm, is the opposite to what it should do!)
plus, if I can get this blog finished & the emails out of the way, I could be looking at getting this wedding finished today & blogged early in the week, also going to blog a few other shoots in the coming weeks so this quiet old blog might get a bit of action
Anyway, as J* seems to put in many of her *rocking* blog posts, posts are better with pictures
So heres a quick shot from Jennifer & Andrews wedding:
On Saturday I spent the day with Heather & Phil, for their engagement session, We started in Stanmer Park & the forest around it, then headed to the University of Sussex campus, where Heather & Phil first met (& Phil works!).
We had so much fun (& towards the end of our session, found some gorgeous light!) that we totally lost track of time & ended up getting my car locked in a car park that closed at 8pm. oops… Basically the poor thing had been taken hostage by a guy with far too much power & a seriously unfriendly attitude…but no harm done, after much groveling & apologising, he let us go… Suffice to say…I won’t be parking there again anytime soon!
But what a day! Great company, great light, great setting! I’m really looking forward to their Wedding in Brighton this September!
