Donna & Stephen – Engagement shoot in Camden

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

It is only a couple of months away until their wedding but we all thought it would be nice till the summer to do a pre wedding photoshoot. They chose Camden in North London as the setting as it holds special memories of many a fun night out and was a local haunt of theirs. We spent a little while having a wander through the markets before settling for the main destination for the evening: The Pub!

How to look good in wedding photographs

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

I just came across this guide on wikihow on how to be photogenic. A bit cheesy in parts but most of it does make sense. Most people think that being photogenic is a mysterious charisma that you are just born with. Unless you are very unlucky, everyone, at least once, does look good in a photograph! I think the problem most have is that from an early age you are told to say ‘cheese’ for the camera which ruins the relationship you have with photographs. Why are we encouraged to pull an unnatural face? Looking natural is the key and feeling relaxed in front of the camera comes from viewing the camera as a friend not as something we have to put a fake face on for.
