Pembroke Lodge and glorious sunshine was the setting for Sarah and Kris’s wedding on 9 August. I hope they had a fantastic honeymoon in Portugal.

The UK winner will be announced on 11 October at the Master Photography Awards in Newcastle. This Award falls under the banner of the 2009 Creative Photography Awards and the judging is based on 3 images from a single wedding (before, during and after the main ceremony). My images are from Suzy and Nick’s wedding at Northbrook Park on 24 May.

Gary awarded MPA Associateship
Yesterday I was delighted to be awarded an Associateship by the Master Photographers Association (MPA). Under the scrutiny of 7 Judges and a Chairman of Qualifications in Darlington, I successfully presented a Panel of 20 Wedding Images from the last 2 years. The ‘normal’ professional qualification is a Licentiateship which denotes that photographers have an established level of skill and competence. The Associateship qualification is aimed at the top 10% of photographers whose work shows style, individuality and a high standard of craftmanship and creative ability. I am grateful to Ray Lowe for his help in mentoring me towards this qualification.

Nicole and Richard, 1 August 2009
Last Saturday, I don’t think I have photographed an August wedding in such incessant rain. But Nicole and Richard were brilliantly determined to help me still get photos with my signature on them.

Siobhain and David at Gate Street Barn
Siobhain and David’s wedding took place in rare summer sun on 25 July. I really enjoyed my first wedding shoot at Gate Street Barn.
Keira and David at Savill Court Hotel, 24 July
Keira and David – who carried 2 lap dogs and describe their style as burlesque – enjoyed quite an unconventional wedding at the Savill Court Hotel. They were a great couple to photograph.
