San Sebastian | The Old Town

Just browsing through some more photos from a trip we made to the old town section of San Sebastian while we were over in Spain shooting Katy & David’s wedding and thought we would upload a few more. Here’s a Square where we ate omelettes for lunch. Aside from the nice food it turned into quite an interesting time- impatient people who storm off after not being served within 2 minutes of sitting down at a table, one waiter for the whole busy cafe who seems to be able to remember who ordered what and when for everyone, and a French accordianist creating quite a scene as he was first asked to leave by police, and was then more forcibly removed! The other photos are the detail above a doorway and a traditional tapas bar with name written in Basque. Wedding photo sneak preview soon to come!

San Sebastian | Out & About

We’ve just returned from a short trip to San Sebastian on the beautiful northern coast of Spain, where we have been photographing the gorgeous wedding of Katy and David.  Of course as photographers we are never off duty and we had a wonderful time walking round the town with our cameras.  Here are a couple of images from our visit…next up will be a sneak preview from the wedding itself!

Rachael & Matt’s Perfect Day | July 2009

Over the next few days we’ll be catching up on some blog entries from the last few weeks, and hopefully with our fabulous new blog in place we’ll be able to keep things much more up-to-date.  You may have seen some of these photographs as a sneak preview in our old blog, but here is a larger selection for you to enjoy.  If you are a friend or family member of Matt and Rachael and would like to see more of their photos, with the option to buy prints, DVDs or other great products, please click on the contact link at the top of the page and send us a message.

In the morning I visited Rachael’s home to capture the bridal preparations, while Chris spent some time with Matt, the groom.  Rachael was ably assisted by her mum Carol and her daughter (and beautiful bridesmaid) Bethany, and her make-up by Sian looked lovely…

The bride’s pretty bouquet was a simple and charming arrangement of cream and dusky pink roses, accented with pale chocolate ribbon, all of which matched perfectly to the elegant morning suits of the groom and groomsmen.

Bethany looked angelic in her beautiful bridesmaid’s dress – here she is arriving at the church and Chris captured this lovely portrait just before she got out of the wedding car…

Switching to the groom’s morning, meet Rachael and Matt’s son Thomas, who was a perfect pageboy in his mini matching suit.  Here he is sitting outside the Bridge Inn with one of the groomsmen, enjoying a drink before the serious work began!

Matt was extremely smart and the perfect model, and Chris enjoyed a stroll with him around the church grounds to capture some informal portraits like this one…

The ceremony took place at a beautiful little church in the village of Curbar

And after the main event, it was time to relax as we went walking with Matt and Rachael to take their first photographs as man and wife…
