Personal

Last week I met up with three talented London wedding and portrait photographers for a Shoot Swap This was a fantastic learning experience for me, as well as great fun. Not only did I get to see how other photographers work, I also got a chance to experience what it is like being on the other side of the camera.

We met up in Camden and escaped the cold by shooting at the groovy Proud Galleries.  The backdrops and decorations are very funky - it would make a great alternative wedding venue.

Below are my favourite shots of the day.  In order of appearance - the lovely Lisa Brown, Kirsten Mavric, and Antonina Mamzenko...

Earlier this month, I met up with a group of photographers for a Vintage Wedding Shoot in Greenwich.  The day was organised by Funmi of fophotography (www.fophotography.co.uk). Thank you, Funmi! It was a great day out and a fantastic opportunity to meet other photographers.  The models were beautiful, the dresses were gorgeous, and the locations were suitably urban-chic.

Here are my favourite shots of the day:
