Well it was a short drive for me from Donaghadee into Bangor, Co.Down for our SWPP Societies Contemporary Bridal Shoot with
John Denton and Fredau Hoekstra. John & Fredau were over on a whistle-stop tour of Ireland and Bangor was their last call! John’s a great professional, with a real passion for his craft and he was in storming form (must have been the windy inclement weather?) today as he gave a masterclass in posing, creating passion and drama in our shots.
The beautiful Fredau Hoekstra
It was a real honour to work with him and pick up some of his good habits! Fredau was great. Very comfortable in herself and had a great understanding of the whole process of making images that take your breath away. She had some great insights into posing and photography from the subject’s point of view… something we photographers tend to forget!
Today was a great lesson in making the most of the situation you find yourself in and realising that it IS possible to get GREAT shots every single time! Its hard to believe that these first shots were taken in a hallway!!
What bride wouldn’t want to look as captivating and stunning as this on her wedding day!? Producing great photos is all about developing a great rapport with the wonderful people who choose to allow you to capture their souls! I love these simple, no flash, natural light images. Where we have a quiet moment as the bride takes time to think about the amazing rollercoaster ride she has been on for months and the fact that today… she passes from that and is starting on the most amazing adventure of her life with her soulmate…. Marriage is a beautiful thing!
Hope you enjoy the images!!
Love the new wedding pics! They turned out so clear and angelic-like… Great stuff, papa bear
