LOVE IN BLACK AND WHITE

For a long time I had a love/hate relationship with black and white. I’ve always loved old photographs in black and white, but I’ve always been curious about what life looked like in colour in those times. I couldn’t imagine life in colour from those photos. What did streets looked like, what colour were houses and clothes? And so when I started my photography journey I fell in love with colour. I thought vibrant and clean colours depicted people, life and feelings, which was what I wanted to capture in my images (and still do). However, with my style evolving, I’ve noticed that sometimes good old black and white just brings out the subject in a photograph getting rid of background distractions. It doesn’t matter what colour their clothes is. It doesn’t matter where they are. What matters is just them, together, happy and in love. So, I want to share a few photos from Sarah and Daniel’s pre-wedding photoshoot, all in black and white))

WEEKLY FINDS – BLOOM THEORY CAMERA STRAPS

If you own a camera, and if you are a girl – you will like today’s find! I came across Bloom Theory Straps literally just yesterday while surfing the web. Oh my… I want one of these. Especially the one with the mustard yellow bow, which will match my Kelly Moore camera bag perfectly! Their collection is just so pretty! For a few years I’ve just been using the boring old Canon strap which came with the camera. I wish I knew about Bloom Theory Straps before)) If you own a camera and using a conventional strap, but want something with style and individuality – check out their online store))

Dasha, don’t worry, they only released them like two weeks ago, so you are not too late:) And I do agree that they are delicious :)

Oh the one with the bow! I want it.

Thanks for sharing this, now I need one! So many pretty ones, I don’t know which one I’d pick!

ELEGANT WEDDING AT THE MANSION, LEEDS – PREVIEW

May weddings take me abroad and all over UK this year. I love going to new places, which otherwise I probably would never get a chance to travel to. Last weekend took me to Leeds to photograph Lauren and Ben’s beautiful elegant wedding. Leeds is as far north as I’ve ever been in the UK. It welcomed me with a bit of rain, but thankfully it stayed relatively dry on the wedding day, and we even got some sunshine and rainbows)) Lauren and Ben got married in The Mansion surrounded by family and friends. A sneak peek for now, with full post to follow in a few weeks))

PRE-WEDDING PHOTOSHOOT IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTRYSIDE – ANNA&JAMES

Anna and James live in the most beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside. Rolling hills of rapeseed and wheat fields which I could walk for hours, stopping every now and the to just take a deep breath of fresh air and appreciate the view. So, when they suggested to have their pre-wedding photoshoot around their place, I couldn’t say no)) I’ve always wanted to photograph in a rapeseed field, but never had a chance until last Tuesday. Give me vibrant yellow colour any day! Thankfully it was a bright and warm day. We had a relaxed walk around the fields and country lanes while taking some photos)) Anna and James are getting married in the beautiful South Farm in June, and I’m really looking forward to capturing their day))

Nice work D – love the yellow of the fields – good choice for the composition :) what a gorgeous couple x

WEEKLY FINDS – ETSY WEDDINGS

I’ve been a huge fan of Etsy for a long time. I could browse this website for hours on end (if I had time that is) and discover little treasures for our home or garden, or just generally admiring creativity that’s out there! Etsy has always had wedding related things, but they only just recently launched dedicated Etsy Weddings website, which is a fabulous resource for all you wedding planning or DIY brides out there. Anything you could think of is there from wedding dresses to planning and styling advice, and reception decor. Hair accessories, jewellery, stationery, lingerie, table settings, photo booth props – you name it! I think you could easily design the whole wedding with Etsy without leaving your computer. If not for your wedding dress, than it’s great for those little touches that make your wedding more personal to you))
