Winter Wedding in the Snow

February 6, 2013 by garethrichardsphoto

Towards the end of last month I was fortunate enough to photograph Ashleigh and Nick’s wedding. Nick is an actor and wedding videographer so over many weddings I have got to know him pretty well so I was delighted when he asked me to capture their wedding day. Ashleigh is also an actor so they were great with the camera and the snow! Ashleigh really keen to get loads of shots with the white stuff and didn’t complain once – you […]

October 5, 2012 by garethrichardsphoto

What a beautiful wedding venue Hedsor House is! It was a very hot day (one of the few!) for Neethu and Jamie’s wedding but the heat was no obstacle for them to have a fantastic day. With so mnay beautiful locations we were spoilt for choice. After the wedding breakfast there was a beautiful sunset with the warmest early eveing light you could wish for. Thank you Neethu and Jamie.

October 2, 2012 by garethrichardsphoto

I know, I haven’t posted anything for ages but,  in my defence, I have had a busy summer photographing weddings. I thought I would share one of those weddings (more to come) with you.

The weather misbehaved a little but we manged to get some lovely shots at Pembroke College and around the centre of Oxford much to the tourists delight. […]

Kids Fashion

March 2, 2012 by garethrichardsphoto

Last Saturday was a bit of a departure for me, but one which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was asked to do a fashion shoot for a local designer clothes shop for kids. We had two models, both called Amber, who were brilliant; they did everything they asked to without a single complaint, even when it got cold later on. Some of the shots may appear in Junior Magazine – we’ll have to wait and see – fingers crossed. Many thanks […]

BIPP Associateship

February 2, 2012 by garethrichardsphoto

Firstly, Happy New Year!! I did say in a previous post that I was going to apply for my Associateship with the British Institute of Professional Photography (BIPP) last year, well, I suppose technically, I did but the judges viewing wasn’t until the 23rd January – and I got it!! Naturally I was very pleased with myself (and I still am). Without blowing my own trumpet too much, I got some very encouraging comments from the panel of judges. For […]

Albums for Christmas

October 14, 2011 by garethrichardsphoto

I can’t believe I’m talking about it already but I’m but even now I’m thinking about albums for Christmas for my customers. I know I get on my “grumpy old man” high horse about shops preparing for christmas in October but here I am talking about it too. The problem is that it takes a long time to prepare design and make an album. The lead time for my manufacturer is about 3 to 4 weeks so that takes us […]

Second hand gear – would you?

October 4, 2011 by garethrichardsphoto

I took a bit of a risk a month or two ago and bought a used Canon EOS 1Ds Mk2 on Ebay. I did have my reservations about the condition and quality before it arrived. I was however very pleasantly surprised. It came with three batteries and a small camera bag. More importantly, it was in very good condition – so I was pleased. The reason I had for buying is that I wanted another full frame Digital SLR (I already […]

Lauren and Robert’s Beautiful Wedding

September 30, 2011 by garethrichardsphoto

17th September 2011 – The Venue Lauren and Robert had chosen for their big day was Eynsham Hall just outside Oxford. I love going there, it has so many photo opportunities and everything is close by so shots can be taken with the minimum of disruption. I arrived at Eynsham Hall nice and early and luckily, Kim from Riche de Fleur (www.richeflowers.com) was just finishing off the tables in the Green Room where the meal was to take place later. Kim […]

Terrible Blogging

September 23, 2011 by garethrichardsphoto

I admit it, I have been rubbish at blogging. I haven’t posted anything for months. In my defence I can claim that I have been very busy photographing weddings all over Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t finished yet with the wedding photography for this year but I do have a weekend off this weekend though I am at the Tally Ho wedding fair on Sunday – maybe see you there. Thank you so much to Barry and […]

Happy New Year

January 6, 2011 by garethrichardsphoto

It’s a few days late but I hadn’t properly woken since the Christmas break. I’m looking forward to another year doing what I enjoy the most – taking photographs. I feel I am very lucky to able to say that, I don’t think too many people can. I’ve said it before, but wedding photography is a great pleasure and privilege for me so I can great care and pride in my work. This philosophy has led me to commit to […]
