It was lovely to have the opportunity to shoot a wedding in Skipton again! Bethany and Jack were married at Bethany’s own church in Ilkley followed by a reception at the Craven Arms Cruick Barn Skipton. Full blog post to follow soon!
Last weekend I put my event photographer hat on for The Vintage Carnival at Colwick racecourse in Nottingham. This was a one day vintage festival featuring stalls a plenty selling a variety of vintage fashion and homeware, entertainment in the form of live music and dancing, as well as vintage cars and fairground games. I got myself a little westie and scottie bakelite brooch (I love anything with Westies on), a fascinator from Kalandra Jane designs, a(nother) vintage Kodak Brownie, and a little cat ornament!
Here’s a little preview of the event, enjoy!
After the awesome experience at its debut last year, I couldn’t not return to Snap Photography Festival. It was lovely to be reunited with friends from last year as well as meeting some amazing new people. I’m going to miss the late night campfire chats, the inspiring words from some of the best photographers out there, and the endless hugs and positivity/support from the lovelies that make up Snap.
I didn’t really take many photos, as with last time, I just wanted to try take it all in, but here are the few that I did…
This engagement shoot from 2013 with fellow vintage lovers Nicola and Andy at their wonderful not-so-little cottage in Crowborough was so much fun. They were brilliant to photograph, and not worried about being a bit silly which of course made for a great shoot. They were married in a gorgeously vintage styled wedding on Eastbourne Pier.
Here is what Nicola had to say about the day…
“The power of Twitter had led us to the lovely Becky who had just branched out into the world of photography and was looking to build up her portfolio. We were also on a budget so I thought we could help each other out! After a few emails, FaceBook messages and tweets we finally settled on a day which was mutually convenient.
When Becky arrived we all had a brew and exchanged pleasantries. I could tell straight away that she would be great to work with.
As our house was going to feature heavily in the shots, we gave her the grand tour. As I went off to get changed, Becky went around the house again by herself, getting a feel for the light etc. She took a few snaps of our knick-knackery just to get started then it was time for “lights, camera, action!”
We started off having pictures taken in the “multi media lounge”. Well there is a TV, record player and a sound system in there. Very casual shots of us looking through records and messing about! After a while we forgot Becky was there as she just seemed to blend in. That’s a compliment by the way! We had explained that we didn’t want to pose for photos and she was on board with this.
