We are very excited to tell you that we have just placed an order for the new ‘must have’ wedding camera body, the Canon 5D MKII which will be a fantastic addition for us and will sit well alongside our current Canon 1Ds MKIII studio camera and 5D MKI bodies.

Not only does this body have a 21.1MP full frame sensor, but can go up to ISO 26,500 meaning that when combined with the 85mm 1.2 lens we will be able to get some great low light shots – perfect for church and those all important disco dancing shots!

We will be posting up some example shots here so make sure to check back soon!

Polly and Paddy asked us to cover their wedding at the stunning Yeovil location of Brympton d’Evercy. It was a fantastic day and there were so many amazing photo opportunities from the stunning bride and bridesmaids to the all night dancing and the fire lanterns at the end of the night, that it’s no surprise it was difficult to just pick just a few favorites.

When Carolyn told us that they were getting married at an organic farm and she would be travelling to and from the church on a tractor and trailer we knew this wedding would be a fun one, and how right we were! Huntstile organic farm was set in hundreds of acres of rolling hills which made a beautiful backdrop to the setting. The day was finished off brilliantly with a hog roast and a fantastic wedding cake made out of donuts!

Below are a couple of shots from the day:

Straight after returning from honeymoon from our own wedding, we headed off to The Coppid Beech Hotel in Bracknell for Amy and James wedding to cover the wedding reception, speeches and evening dancing. Amy looked stunning, and James looked ever the proud husband. Below are a few of our favourite shots from the day:

We were looking forward to receving our wedding from our good friend and videography partner Richard but he went one further and did us a highlights trailer too! We love this so much and now are looking forward to the full edit even more!

We’re not people who like to be centre of attention but actually, like so many people have said to us before – we hardly noticed the cameras at all and seeing the end result is just fantastic. We can both see why people get so emotional after seeing their video, Richard does such an excellent job and we still feel honored to have had him film our wedding.

In mid April we attended a wedding but rather than be the photographers working away in the background, we were centre stage as the bride and groom! 

It was very strange to be on the other side of the camera, but it was an absolutely fantastic day. Big thanks have to go to our photographer, Emma Dickinson who did a great job. 

Here is our favourite shot of the day of Laura:

Ok, so it took a little longer than we thought since our last post but delivery of the lens finally happened! Anyway, we now have our hands on the 85mm 1.2 L so did a little studio session to try it out and we have to say, it’s every bit as great as we thought it would be! Thanks to our Videographer partner, Richard from fxfilms.co.uk and also the great James Kirby from www.inspiringweddings.co.uk for posing for us below!

We are always striving to deliver the very best results using the very best equipment and in this vein we are pleased to announce we are now the very proud owners of the legendary wedding/portrait lens that is the Canon 85mm 1.2 L mk2 lens. This lens coupled with our Canon 1Ds Mk3 studio camera body means there is NO better combination for clarity, resolution and sharpness available.

We can’t wait to show some examples of this stunning piece of glass, be sure to check back soon for some examples. To our upcoming couples, we can’t wait to deliver even more images of unparralleled quality and hope you can go some way to being as excited as we are!
