Yesterday I was in the countryside village of Kinoulton with fellow photographers Maria and Cathy.  The location was a derelict farm and outbuildings.  We were armed with our cameras a Lastolite Tri-Grip reflector and a Lastolite Ezybox for the Canon 580ex II speedlites.  Despite the cold and STRONG wind our model Rachel was a champion.  It was so cold and windy that we had to shoot for 5 mins and let her warm up in a winter jacket for 10 mins before moving on to the next location.  I’m happy with how the photos turned out considering how bad the weather was.  Test shoots are great for practicing new lighting techniques etc, it’s also a great creative exercise that definitely inspires everyone involved.  Anyway, I hope you like the images and until next time keep shooting. As usual, comments are appreciated.  If you haven’t already make sure and check out my new photographer interviews site www.interviewsbycrashtaylor.com

Friday I was at Woodborough Hall photographing the wedding of Nicole and Paul.  We started the day in the bridal suite at the Hall and then left for the ceremony at Lambley village church.  After the confetti at the church we headed back to Woodborough Hall for the reception.  It was a great day, the weather was perfect.  Nicole and Paul are super cool and I really enjoyed photographing their special day.  A big thanks to Cathi Higgins from Oehlers Photography for assisting me and Tillyboo Events for coordinating another flawless Woodborough Hall wedding.

Here are a few Crash-Art signature images from the day.

Ilona and I just got back got from Spain visiting the in-laws and Bruno and Ben, our rescued dogs. It was a much needed break and now I’m ready for the winter wedding season to start. It begins tomorrow at Woodborough Hall where I will be photographing the wedding of Nicole and Paul. I cannot wait to pull out the Canon 5D’s and start capturing their special day Crash style!

Saturday was the wedding of Tania and Simon. We started the day at Tania’s house for bridal preparation shots and then onto the ceremony at the village church in Bingham. From there we all headed to Woodborough Hall for the reception. It was a great day despite the strong winds and on and off rain. Here are a few Crash-Art signature images from the day. I want to thank Sarah and Natalie from Tillyboo Events for coordinating a flawless day.

Saturday Emma and I were in Ratcliffe on the Wreake photographing the wedding of Naomi and Andrew.  It was a beautiful ceremony in the village church and a magnificent reception in the marquee on the grounds of Naomi’s family home.  We all had a great day and the weather was absolutely amazing.  Have a lovely honeymoon and I wish you all the best.  Here are a few Crash-Art images from the day.
