So, on Friday I was booked to photograph Laurence and Esther from the moment the left the church until they sat down for dinner, now obviously it's not the norm to have a wedding booking within those time-frames and I can hear you asking "Just what do you cover on a 3 hour wedding booking, is it really going to be exciting and inspiring and beautiful or will it just be a huge rush"?

Being a wedding photographer for me is about representing the love of 2 people and of course all couples are different, some couples want a 12 hour coverage, a coffee table album and a storybook album but some couples just want 2 or 3 hours of their wedding day photographed so for me it's important that those 3 hours count.

I was shooting at St Oswalds Church and Durham Castle, it's no secret they're favourite venues of mine, particularly the castle as it's soaked and baked in history (and if course it has Harry Potter connections too).

So, the challenge, to record the love and marriage of Esther and Laurence in 3 hours, want to see some photographs?  Here's their story...

Esther and Laurence may you have so many happy and wonderful years together, thanks for letting me be your wedding photographer and proving that 3 hours of wedding photography can still mean wonderful photographs.

Ladies, looking for a boudoir photographer in Newcastle?

Well look no further...

You all know I photograph boudoir right?

Well maybe you don't but it's true, I photograph lots of lovely boudoir ladies at my studio which is just 10 minutes drive  (or 20 mins on the metro) from the city centre.

The thing about boudoir photography is that it's all about you, yes if you have an other half well then I'm sure they'll be more than happy with the results but ladies this really is your shoot, just for you, showcasing you at your awesome best.

I've never photographed a boudoir session where ladies didn't end up loving the whole experience, yes everyone feels a little nervous at first but soon you'll be doing diva poses and rocking the whole shoot.

So here's the down low, a very special offer just for you, book my little black book shoot in September/October and it's only £249 instead of £295, or for just £325 you will get the book and a disk of the edited retouched hi res images, thats a staggering £75 off the normal price of £400.

The shoot takes 2-3 hours and we put on some music, we have fun, we have a laugh and we get great images of you which go into a top secret password protected gallery, all of the images are sensitively retouched so that you'll have a permanent reminder of just how great you look and you know those days when all you want to do is stay in bed and eat chocolate? Well you can get our your LBB and remind yourself just how hot you are!

To book your boudoir shoot or if you have any questions or queries please give me a call or click through to boudoir photographer newcastle and click on the contact form, on an idevice? I have an HTML website so click through to boudoir photographer north east
