Venice wedding inspiration

Pure Venetian indulgence…

Bride in Venice

Gorgeous, glamorous, mysterious masked bride in Venice. What a stunning backdrop for a beautiful bridal photoshoot - the fine detailing of the dress, jewels and that exquisite feather are so striking and yet the Venetian gondolier appears to have seen it all before...

Bride in Venice

Classical archways, sunlight and shadows, and a beautiful Venetian bride in the Piazza San Marco

The Venetian mask captures the beauty of the city’s people, the tradition of the annual Carnevale, the magic of a historic European city.

Choosing a wedding photographer

As I’ve just blogged Andrew and Anne’s Tylney Hall wedding by Greenlees Photography, I thought it would be a good opportunity to share some advice about choosing a wedding photographer.

Colin Greenlees is an excellent wedding photographer, member of the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers (there are only around 30 members in the UK) and loves working with brides and grooms to capture their wedding memories so beautifully.

If you haven’t yet chosen your wedding photographer, do read the advice on Colin’s website before you do. It’s written to help brides and grooms across the country, you don’t have to be in the Hertfordshire area or considering Greenlees Photography for your wedding – this is valid advice wherever you are.

Black and white wedding photos

As promised, a couple more wedding photographs in black and white. Following yesterday’s striking and dramatic wedding pictures by Chris Hanley, today I’ve chosen two pictures sent in by Hannah Dornford-May.

In contrast to yesterday’s photographs on quite a grand scale, these pictures focus on the more intimate details and simply capture real beauty in people: the first picture of a bride getting ready is completely unposed and unplanned, but I love how natural it looks and how beautiful and sensual the photograph feels.

Black and white wedding images

Inspired by Brendan and Maria’s black and white wedding theme which I featured here on Sunday, I asked some of my favourite UK wedding photographers to share their best black and white wedding photographs.

There isn’t much I can say about these, other than I was absolutely blown away by the wedding pictures they sent to me. Today and tomorrow – in two very, very different ways, I’ll show you why you should choose a wedding photographer who’ll give you wedding photographs in black and white as well as colour.
