A lake, a waterfall, five dresses and one couple in Autumn

As Spring has finally arrived it's a great opportunity for me to remind you of Autumn. Yes I know, a bit strange but Mindy and Nicholas contacted me last Autumn to create a shoot for them that made use of the beautiful British autumnal seasonal colours. They are due to be married in a month or so's time but they are getting hitched in Singapore which I'm reliably informed has very little in the way of seasonal changes. Their idea was to bring a little bit of England to their wedding by displaying the pictures throughout their reception. A great idea and a really inspiring brief to get hold of and I'm reviewing it now as their wedding is just weeks away.

This shoot also gave me the opportunity to play about with a few post production textures too.

Yes I found a waterfall in Hampshire

A really beautiful one at that

Here's Mindy showing off one of the five dresses she brought with her!

Nature, sculpture and bridal, interesting mix

I really like the emotive feel of this one with the textural overlay

We found a beautiful mermaid on the shores of the lake

A glamorous couple, a fallen log and some lovely helpful passers by equals one great picture.

Some real Autumn colours and beautiful light



You've got to love those shoes

And finally the formal attire. A perfect combination of amazing dress and beautiful bridge creates an oriental feel in leafy Hampshire.

The motely crew get in on the act.

A great big thank you must go to Mindy and Nicholas for braving the cold winds (and they were really cold) to help create some amazing pictures that I hope will have a great impact in Singapore at their wedding. Also a huge thank you to Sally Riceman who looked after Mindy's hair and make up throughout the shoot and made the couple look amazing and laugh all the time. Finally I must not forget Kerry who was my assistant on the day and happily ran around after me helping with lighting and everything else camera wise.
