3rd May


Anstey Hall Cambridge

Today’s wedding for Diana and Ian is at Anstey Hall Cambridge with second shooter Stephen and gap year student photographer Olivia. With so many Churches and licensed wedding venues nowadays, we don’t return to the same ones quite as often as we used to, and this is the case for Anstey Hall today. It’s some time since we photographed a wedding there, but that won’t deter our enthusiasm for the day, and it looks as though the weather will behave with a dry but chilly day. With 140 guests and a Ceilidh and Hog Roast in the evening, I don’t think the temperature will be a problem!

Corporate Photography

Corporate enquiries and shoots this week has seen me photographing the exterior of a large local business premises for their advertising posters, Profile shots for a doctor’s hospital website and future work photographing a band in which he plays. Also the MD of a Telecomm company required Profile photos plus further regular work photographing their installations and venues for their quarterly business Newsletter.

Other enquiries have included events for different areas of Cambridge University in May and June.

Cambridge Photo Walk

The next Cambridge Photo Walk is on Saturday 10th May from 10am to 3pm.

Booking is now open, but places are limited, so contact me very soon.

Photo Walk 100514

Cambridge has a wonderful diversity of residents, tourists from all around the world and of course the transient student population. They all mingle and interact with each other, with the street performers and sit on walls and benches for a sandwich lunch. This is a great opportunity to capture some of these interactions and anticipate upcoming shots in an ever changing scene. There is usually only one chance for most of these types of photos before they’re gone forever.

  • Listen as I explain some of the history of the area, including some ghostly stories concerning a window that’s never closed, a bookshop and a rose. Discover and photograph a ‘Richardson Candle’; see and photograph the £1 million gold plated clock (and all the people photographing it!) and find out who gifted it to the University. I’ll describe what used to lay behind the 70s brutal architecture of Petty Cury and the Grand Arcade.
  • Learn the best camera settings and how to anticipate when shooting on the street.
  • Shoot the moment amongst the throngs!
