There are many things to love about this shoot….early spring light, such a happy couple, yellow Hunter wellies, and overall just a lovely colour palette. We had a lot of fun and it was a real pleasure to spend time with Jenna and Rob…see you both in a few weeks!

As well as film being part of our new venture, One Experience which you can find at http://www.myoneexperience.com we’ve been shooting some creative projects. We were pretty pleased to have one of our film shots published on The FIND Lab’s blog…The FIND Lab is the amazing lab we use for all our film processing. This is the shot they featured…

The venues were really venues with a difference…the ceremony was at the Manchester Museum, complete with T-Rex, and the reception was at the Imperial War Museum North. The Imperial War Museum made such an atmospheric reception venue with its lighting and unique museum displays, and we loved Lindsey and David’s idea to project classic films such as Casablanca onto a wall throughout. An amazing wedding and an amazing couple- take a look at the whole story below. Thanks again to Annabel from Love My Dress for featuring this great wedding!

Here it is!

Love this yellow and grey combination…

Now, Danny was a lovely yet sneaky ol’ fellow, because it wasn’t until near the end of the wedding day that he shared with us that he lectures in photography! We’ve shot the weddings of quite a few photographers now and it’s always a nice feeling to get the stamp of approval from peers, and we loved the feedback that they wrote for us. It’s also a good opportunity to share a few photos from their day…here are just a few that give the flavour of their amazing day.

“A massive THANK YOU for your patience and hard work throughout the day, you are both such lovely people it was a pleasure to have you with us on such a wonderful day. Our pictures look truly amazing and really capture the laid back atmosphere created by our family and friends. From one photographer to another; I admire your appreciation of light and your dedication to the preservation of your own style, to quote Ansel Adams:

-’You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved’-

Need I say more?

Best Wishes
Mr and Mrs Bell”

Undertaking a One Experience with us is about more than just the photographs. It’s about taking time out to discover, re-discover, connect and re-connect with what’s important in your life. We’ve called it a One Experience because it’s about bringing all these things together as one, though it should be far from a once in a lifetime occurrence.

We have created One Experience as a way of documenting the journey of your love at various intervals throughout your life, and as a way of breaking out of the tradition of restricting meaningful photography to engagements and weddings. It’s an experience we believe is perfectly suited to film photography, and we’ll be working entirely with this medium.

The best way to find out all about One Experience and the ethos behind it is by visiting our website at http://www.myoneexperience.com
Please drop on by the website and have a good look around, and don’t be afraid to say hello at our One Experience Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/myoneexperience :-)
