Destination Wedding photography in Grenada and the Grenadine islands






My latest Caribbean trip was to the Grenadine islands. This part of the world is always breathtaking with its colours, but having done many landscapes in colour I decided to try classic Black and White landscapes of the scenery of Bequia, Grenada and the Tobago Quays.
Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines are well renowned for destinations weddings and honeymoons so while we were stationed at Grenada I had the opportunity to get in touch with Binta Patrick who is the wedding coordinator for True Blue Bay (www.TrueBlueBay.com). There are not many high end wedding planners in Grenada so Binta is one of the few people who can help with destination weddings in Grenada and the Grenadines. Hope the next trip to the Grenadines will be a comission for a destination weddings photography in the Grenadines.

Event Photography Barcelona 2011 GSMA Congress in Barcelona Spain




Event photography is never as exciting as wedding photography, but being one of the official photographers for the biggest annual event for the mobile phone industry - the GSMA congress that takes place in Barcelona every year - was a mind-blowing experience. It was 5 hard days of work plus a few private dinners before the congress started.
The event took place at the magnificent building of the National Palace at Montjuic park. In the evening the fountains create a breathtaking performance of water and light. I used my conference pass to convince the reception of the nearby hotel to use their roof top to take some aerial shots of the venue which the organisers loved.
It was amazing to see all the latest technology of 3D mobiles and the highlight of the event was the opportunity to photograph the CEO of Google Eric Schmidt and the CEO of Ericsson Hans Vestberg. But I have to say that after 5 days of listening about mobile phones I was looking forward to do another wedding.
I definitely loved working in Barcelona. Not only because I could eat pan con tomate and olive oil every night 8 days in a row, but I could do a job at a dinner party and finish at 9.30pm and the night was just starting. The locals haven't even gone out for dinner. After I met with a few wedding planners in Barcelona I hope a comission for a destination wedding photography in Spain is not too far away.

Destination wedding photography Cyprus


This was my first destination wedding photography in Cyprus, but Nadia & Theo's wedding in Nicosia was a pure pleasure to photograph. Nadia and Theo agreed with my suggestion to do the wedding photography before the church ceremony so that they can spend more time with their family and friends thereafter. For the more creative wedding photos we went to an old renovated monastery in Nicosia which had beautiful grounds and scenery. The Greek orthodox wedding ceremony took place in a modern but nevertheless beautifully ornated church in Nicosia which was followed by a lavish party for 400 guests in the Hilton hotel in the centre of Nicosia. I can still taste those amazing king prawns and all the delicacies.
Wedding photography in Cyprus and in fact any traditional Greek wedding is a difficult task when you have to photograph the couple congratulating more than 300 guests, but these weddings are always tremendous fun. I look forward to wedding photography in Cyprus or in Greece.

Anniversary Wedding Photography Central London



Trash the Dress photography, rock the frock photography, after wedding photography or what I prefer to call cherish the dress photography has gained popularity over the last few eyars with brides deciding to do something unique with their wedding dress rather than let it sit hidden in the wardrobe. If you store it away it's already forgotten. I was thrilled when I found out that Reni is eager to do something different with her wedding dress.
Emo and Reni are a beautiful young couple who married last year. They live outside of London, but for their wedding anniversary Reni eagerly embraced the idea of Trash the dress wedding photography session where she put on her wedding dress again and did something unique with it. Well, the dress stayed very much intact and beautiful but the results were some beautiful creative wedding photography of her and Emo. I loved their enthusiasm despite the drizzling rain of London and the cold wind. We started at Westminster bridge and walked on the south side for some shots with the Parliament in the background and then moved to take some more photos in front of the London Eye. We certainly had a lot of enthusiastic crowd around cheering the 'newly wedded couple'. We finished with some photos at Charing Cross bridge where I left Emo & Reni to enjoy some time on their own. They had fun in recreating their first wedding dance in the middle of the bridge while enjoying the views of the Parliament, London Eye and St. Paul's cathedral. What better present to yourself than such romantic moments on your anniversary?
