A couple of weekends ago I did a fabulous commercial shoot for The Dressing Room, Draycott at the Cathedral Quarter Hotel in Derby. For brides out there The Dressing Room has a wonderful choice of designer bridal dresses, bridesmaids dresses and accessories. As well as  beautiful dresses they, also, have an excellent reputation for providing exceptional service to the client. The Cathedral Quarter Hotel provided a grand backdrop for the shoot. Located in Derby, it is a hidden gem for wedding receptions very near to the Cathedral.

What a beautiful day it turned out to be. The weather last Saturday was threatening heavy rain throughout the week but suddenly it shifted to the day before. What luck. The sun came out for Dan and Jess. Brian and I were at The New  Bath Hotel in Matlock. We had such a fabulous day photographing them and their guests. Here are some of my favourites I would like to share with you.

A few weeks back we met up with Gillian and Stephen to go over their wedding plans and in particular to go through the photography for their day. I always like to include a small photo shoot. This way they can get used to the camera and my way of shooting. We had a good time in Wollaton Park although it was so cold! They are a great couple. We are so looking forward to photographing their wedding at the end of May. Good luck with the rest of the preparations.

Yipee …. at long last I have finished my new website which I have been building myself for quite some time now. Have lots more to add but could not wait to put it online. Here is a link if you are interested. Let me know what you think http://www.oehlersphotography.co.uk/

Last October I spent a fantastic three days in London at Yervant’s workshop. It was worth it’s weight in gold. Learning from one of the top wedding photographers in the world was amazing. I would recommend it to anyone who is passionate about their wedding photography. I have included three images that I took and with tips from Yervant I have post processed them in Photoshop.

Last month saw the last of the weddings for this year. Kerry and Steve were a couple who attended another wedding which we photographed earlier this year. They were a great couple who were up for having fun. Here are a few of my favourite images of their day.

Hayley is a bride from a wedding we photographed a couple of years ago. She wanted to wear her dress again so we did a fun photo session at a studio. Here is my favourite image.

They say in this beautiful profession referrals are one of best ways to promote wedding photography. Kate was a bridesmaid at a wedding  Brian and I photographed last year so I was delighted when she asked us to photograph her wedding. Kate and Wayne’s wedding was held at the Goosedale Conference and Banqueting Centre. The weather was true to its forecast … heavy rains at first, clearing up later with a few wet spells. With the rain clearing the atmosphere, we had some fantastic light in the afternoon which I endeavoured to capture in between courses.  It was good to have a bride and groom who were up for it especially on such a mixed day. Here are a few of my favourite images.

Earlier this month we had the pleasure to photograph Penny and Gordon’s wedding at the West Bridgford Registry Office and then at the Welbeck Banqueting Hall, West Bridgford. They are such a lovely couple, full of joy and laughter and full of love for each other. It was a very touching ceremony, even I had a tear in my eye! The first sequence of images I really love as Penny “just wanted to get to Gordon”. We wish you all the best for your future together.

Been so busy so I am way behind with updating my blog. Since the last wedding I have been assisting other photographers as well as photographing Jackie and Adrian’s wedding at West Bridgford Registry Office then at The Beeches Hotel around the corner.
Off to Yervant’s three day seminar down in London this week. Really looking forward to that.
