Howell Photography

Leanne and Tim were married in Godmanchester on Saturday and we were delighted to be asked to photograph their wedding day. The weather didn’t want to play ball, but despite the strong winds and rain everything went to plan and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day. This was a family wedding and it was so lovely to see the pride in the faces of Parents, Grandparents and of course Great Grandparents . We had already captured little Ruby’s Christening last year and it was lovely to see she was walking in time for the wedding and made the cutest flower girl ever. The getting ready was adorableas we all had to sing the ‘ wheels on the bus ‘ to distract her as Leanne clipped flowers into her hair.
Leanne looked stunning and I loved everything she had chosen. The very gorgeous Bridesmaids wore chocolate coloured dresses which were set off by cute little fur shrugs. Ruby wore the sweetest little dress and she also had a fur shrug. The plan was for Leanne to walk down the aisle with her Mum and Ruby but as soon as Ruby saw Tim waiting at the top of the aisle she was off running and waving much to the delight of the congregation. It turned out that Ruby was the wedding entertainer for much of the day and was still going strong on the dance floor into the evening in her PJ’ s.

Tim, Leanne and Ruby we wish you all much love and happiness in the future.

Don’t forget to leave Tim and Leanne some comments and Love at the bottom of this blog or on our Facebook page.

 

I am just editing the images from Tim and Leanne’s fab wedding on Saturday and couldn’t resist stopping to blog these three images. Full blog coming very soon ……

 

 

Finally, here is the new design for our blog yippee !   well almost the new design. We have a few more minor tweaks to make but we have decided to go live instead of it being off line and tweak it a bit at a time over the next few weeks. I started off with a very colourful vintage background and scrolls etc but it detracted from the images and we decided to add something a little more subtle. After trying several colours and papers this small dotty one seemed to be just right. We will be adding a column for latest shoots where you will see a small picture and go straight to the last three. We may also change the font. As we are about 80% there it seemed a good idea to stand back and get used to it before we ( well I) got really carried away as I have realized there are endless things that can be customized and I just want to play with them all ! Let us know what you think good or bad. We have made it easier to leave a comment and join us on Facebook.

Here are a few shots to test out the design.

Happy New Year ! Our first blog for 2012 is a personal one. We had a few days away just after New Year and took off to Cornwall to recharge our batteries. We will be back to posting our usual weddings and portraits very soon but for now we thought it would be nice to share a few snaps. If you want to do landscape photography properly you need to return when the light is just right. Unfortunately we didnt have time to wait around as I wanted some retail therapy and seafood! For all the photographers out there we used timed exposures to get the lovely froth and streaks on the surf and used a 5D MK2, 85mm and 17 -40mm lenses with an exposure between 2  to 15 seconds and apertures between f8 and f16.
