What a day I had yesterday! I teamed up with
Amy Brandon - a fabulous makeup artist who has done a few of my brides in the past and the gorgeous
Kerry Jay Binns who has modelled on a couple of commercial jobs I have done earlier this year. Kerry is also an amazing dance instructor who helps couples perfect their
first wedding dance. We certainly make a great team!
We decided to have some fun so contacted
Frock and Roll in Reading who very kindly let us use some of their wonderful dresses - you really should go along and have a look, they have a huge selection!
We started off at my house where Amy did the first makeup:
We then set off to our first location which was some local woodland and fields. A quick makeup check and we started shooting. I did a mix of natural light and using flash off camera - Kerry looked great in the 1970's style dress.
We then moved into a more open area, a quick dress change - luckily it was quiet around - and makeup changed and off we went again. The weather was amazing and luckily not as windy as it had been over the weekend.
Kerry is a model and a dancer so can really move herself and do the most amazing cartwheels! We had a lot of fun.
It was then time for a late lunch so we bought sandwiches, nipped back to my house for a dress change and a new makeup look.
We then went down by the river to Caversham Court - what a fab location!! I used my big flash here as well as some natural light shots. I have to say I just love my Broncolor flash - it is so amazing but very heavy so we couldn't have managed it to the woods earlier!
Kerry had an amazing dress here, I just love the way it hangs and blows in the breeze - we did another quick dress change, a makeup change and shot the last dress - a beautiful 1950's style.
We were so lucky that all the dresses fitted Kerry perfectly and were just so lovely to wear and photograph. Amy's makeup looked amazing - she has such an eye for detail!
It really was a great day resulting in some great shots!
