Kerry and Andys Engagement Photographs

Congratulations to Kerry and Andy on their recently announced engagement. Kerry's from Derbyshire and Andy lives in Peterborough, so it made sense for us to do an engagement photographic shoot in Essex :-).

It was a fun time spent by the river in the sunshine (it's not often that we get the chance). Click on play below to run the slideshow of some more of their images.

HOT NEWS! you can now subscribe to my videos and slideshows on i-tunes as a pod cast by clicking here.



On another note I was chatting to a friend the other day and they noted about how many more photographers there are now and should we be worried. My answer, in short no. If someone has the ability and skill set to survive in todays market they deserve to be there. However there are plenty of want to be's out there who will struggle. You can normally tell these types as their websites are full of shots of brides and grooms but interestingly there are no shots of guests, best men etc.

The reason being, the brides and grooms are probably hired models and the shots were taken in controlled atmosphere with models who know exactly what looks good. Typically these shots are taken on training days where another skilled photographer has set up the shot and the delogates have taken the photograph (a bit like uncle bobs at a wedding).


As a general rule of thumb if a photographers site doesn't have actual wedding shots (with guests etc) they're probably inexperienced and not real wedding photographers.
