Sian and Tim | St Chads Lichfield and The Moat House || Slideshow

stuartjames — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 09:41:33 +0000

Sian and Tim were married on the 27th March at the lovely St Chads Church in Lichfield – a gorgeous little church that for some reason we’re only ever at every few years! Their reception was held in the Acton Suite at the gorgeous Moat House in Acton Trussell – our most popular and one of our absolute favourite venues to work throughout the UK…

The day was absolutely beautiful with the lovely spring sun coming through and just a couple of days before the wedding the daffodils coming out into bloom. I’m sure you’ve already seen the full post from the wedding, if you haven’t it’s here, and I think it’s safe to say we all had a fantastic time!

Beki also came out with me on this wedding and had a great time shooting on the D3 whilst I was rocking my newly beloved 5DmarkIIs, and she got some great shots too!!

Here is a slideshow of my favourites from Sian and Tim’s day to music by the amazing Cinematic Orchestra; if you like the track on the slideshow please click here to find the track on iTunes!

Enjoy!

If you’re a friend of Sian and Tim’s their photos will soon be live on the client area so head over after the 15th April! The password is their surnames – any problems with logging in just contact us through the form above!

2009 – our favourite images from a fantastic year! || Slideshow

stuartjames — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 14:48:48 +0000

2009 was an absolutely fantastic year for us – one with great weddings, many commercial shoots with the building of several relationships, the visiting of old clients and photographing their new-additions with the photos of little Jack Richardson and Thomas O’Connor and meeting some amazing new people from the photography world leading from the [b] school including Laura and Pete Lawson, Hayley Ruth, Stewart Randall, the boys from 3b media, Jennifer Clare and not to forget the guys from north of the border Chris MacKenzie and James Pearson and the guys down south, the lovely Davenports and not to forget MrF and everyone else from the [r]Network – it’s been a pleasure to meet you guys and I’m sincerely looking forward to our next GTG in London!

It is great sometimes to take a step back from how you do things and take on others thoughts and ideas, and from the many people I have met this year, both from the world of photography and other friends and associates, so much has changed possitively for us in 2009. When I worked with David Pullumon a lovely Asian wedding in Walsall I took a refreshing look at a different approach and as I’m sure you’ll see by the end of 2009 my work has definitely shifted slightly and our new style really is OURS!

A shift to Canon gear for much of our 2010 work will see a continued improvement in the way we work and I really am so incredibly excited to get stuck in to this year.

In the meantime, sit back and enjoy my favourites from 2009 – a year that has been absolutely fantastic to us.

Thank you so much to all of our fantastic clients. I look forward to sharing 2010 with you all!
