ALTERNATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY

It’s all about the hair, nails and the girls in their beautiful dresses and the boys looking sharp in their suits…and then there’s the cars!!

Wayyy back when I left school ‘the prom’ was still very much a thing the American kids did when they finished school. But here in the UK it’s more of a recent tradition and OMG do I wish it was a thing in my days….but it wasn’t so I guess I have the next best thing which is watching and capturing todays kids enjoying their end of school experiences

I have been wanting to photograph some skateboarders for quite some time, but never quite had the opportunity until now. Somehow, I always knew it would fit my alternative photography style and would be a match made in heaven. So, enter my kids being of a teen age, them having friends that are seriously into skateboarding, talking things ollies, kick flips, heel flips, backside 180’s etc, whilst chillin in my front room and admiring themselves on their YouTube channel. This got my creative photography ass mind a-wandering….so I approached them with the idea of doing a photoshoot….and the rest is history, or so they say!!

Read about how I managed to photograph one of the quickest and most brilliant weddings put together.

So, after endless cancellations and re-arranged dates, Carla and Lisa finally managed to ‘tie the knot’ at Saffron Walden Town Hall, Essex.  It was a small and intimate affair which was just perfect, and as an alternative wedding photographer…it was even better! I’ve been lucky enough to call Carla a dear friend for many years now, so I was honoured to capture hers and Lisa’s special day surrounded by their closest friends and family.  If you are after a small and personal wedding in the heart of rural Essex, then carry on reading this blog.
