Louise and Simon’s Wedding

I had the great pleasure of photographing Louise and Simon’s Wedding at the beginning of this month. They were married at ST Michael’s Church Pontardulais and we took the Bride and Groom photos at Weobley Castle. The reception was at the lovely Oldwalls. It was absolutely freezing. How Louise coped in just her gorgeous dress I do not know.

There is a large collection of colour photos on my Facebook site

Louise and Simon’s E Shoot

Louise and Simon had their engagement photoshoot recently on a cold, but almost dry and occasionally sunny day. We walked down to Three Cliff Beach via the path from Penmaen car park and timed it to catch the golden light as the sun dipped. As it was a winter shoot we also captured a little of the sunset and the start of dusk to produce some lovely photos of the happy couple on Wales’ most beautiful beach.

Three Cliff Engagement Shoot

I spent yesterday afternoon on Three Cliff Beach with Louise and Simon. They’re getting married on April Fool’s Day next year and fancied their engagement shoot on the famous Gower beach. The photos are in my editing suite right now, but here is one image just to set the scene. More very soon.

 

Pop Up Studio

Everybody seems to love Photo Booths. What are they? Glamorous passport booths. But a Pop Up Studio that’s another thing.

All the pro lights’, different backdrops, immediate prints and an emailed copy of the image to display on Facebook on the night. You can book one for your event, be it a wedding, engagement party or work do. They’re great fun and you can choose to pay for your guests’ pleasure or you can book it for no charge for your event and the guests pay per print. You even book one for a family photo shoot in your home. Your choice! Call me on 07952747776 to discuss your ideas

Livelee Photography will be providing Pop Up Studios at the CYCA Ball at the Diplomat on Friday, at the Vintage Fair at the Ostreme Hall, Mumbles on 20th October and all throughout the Christmas and New Year Parties at the Llanelli Scarlets.

Even Monty and India are getting in on the act!

Coming Soon

I have been a little quiet on the blog of late, with good reason! I’ve been a busy boy. Coming soon – a whole new website with new photos from Emma and Chris’s Greek Wedding. Here are a couple of images to whet your appetite.

Emma and Chris Engagement Photoshoot in London

I went up to London earlier in January to shoot Emma and Chris’s Enagagement photos. They’re getting married on the Greek island of Rhodes in May, so it seemed complementary to shoot the enagegment photos in Britain’s largest city in the middle of winter. The grafitti tunnel at Waterloo and some iconic shots around the River Thames also brought a complementary balance. If you like the look of my work, take a look at the Enagagement Photoshoot page to see more.

Sony World Photography Awards

I thought I might share one of my entries for the Sony World Photography Awards. It was taken this year (as I write it’s still just 2011) at Sarah and Steve’s wedding and uses a technique that produces all those ghostly swirls which convey so much of the movement that can be missed with a standard dance shot. May the New Year bring you all you desire. Lovelee

Here is a small selection of photos from Nerys and Dylan’s wedding at the City Hall, Cardiff on the 11.11.11. There are a few more on the wedding gallery and the largest collection @ www.facebook.com/liveleephotography.

The 11.11.11.11.11 photograph

Thanks to the marvels of digital photography I can pinpoint which image was taken at precisely 11.11am on the 11.11.11 at Nerys and Dylan’s Wedding and this is it. It shows Sara, their beautiful daughter leading Nerys and best friend Sara and the rest of the Bridal Party into the park for some post wedding photos.

Just in case you missed it an image from the day was taken by the Mail Online. http://bit.ly/vqX9BC

Laura and Mike’s Wedding

Laura and Mike got married last month. Ever the couple to do things a little differently they chose a purple and black theme, a theme that followed the guests and every other wedding detail. Here’s a few photos to give you a feel for the colour (sorry) of the occasion.

Laura and Mike’s Engagement shoot

Here are a few images from Laura and Mike’s engagement shoot at Pennard Castle, overlooking Three Cliff Bay, on the Gower Peninsula. It was a typical spring day with sunshine and a hint of rain, but we timed it well and even caught a ray of sun.

Laura and Mike’s wedding is in July and has a black and purple theme. Can’t wait.

Holga image

This image is taken with a Holga 120N, the little plastic camera that uses medium format film. The square format, soft focus and vignetting create quite a different feel to digital. It was taken on Sarah and Steve’s engagement shoot.

London Photoshoot

Took some very funky photos on Monday around Shoreditch and Waterloo. Many are scattered about this site on the home, engagement shoot and portrait pages, but here’s a couple extra that aren’t anywhere else – just yet.

Sarah and Steve

My first wedding this year was in March, on a glorious sunny day and was Sarah and Steve’s special day.

Their wedding was in Mumbles, the service held at Mumbles Christadelphian Church, the post wedding photos were taken on the fantastic Caswell Bay beach and the Reception and evening at Reynoldston Village Hall.

It was a fabulous day and many of the images can be seen in the galleries here and on my external personal blog.

Next up: two family portrait shoots over the Easter break
