Emma and Duncan

Wedding photography as you know is my passion. I love the fact that my clients put the photography at the top of their list. They know how important photography is on such a magnificent day dedicated to their love and lifetime commitment.

Emma and Duncan are a super fun, funky couple who love photography and drum and bass.  It seemed like most of the guests had cameras and were having a great time snapping away. Emma looked beautiful and Duncan was definitely Mr. Cool. The best part for me was when they left the church to the sounds of Pendulum.

Crash Taylor interviews the bride. A new project started a few weddings ago, which I hope will give future brides who read the blog some inspiration and ideas for their dream day!

Can you tell us where and how Duncan proposed: We’d talked about marriage for awhile, Duncan had asked my Dad’s permission and whilst on the train to Birmingham asked if I fancied going to the jewellery quarter to pick a ring. Once we had the ring, he then proposed on a park bench.

The most memorable moment of the day? Leaving the church to the sounds of Pendulum.

Yervant and Anie In London

Last week I was fortunate to spend three exhausting but awesome days in London with Yervant and Anie. It was such an inspirational experience and I made 29 new friends! Yervant and Anie let us into their world and held nothing back. The best part for me was the business day with Anie and watching Yervant play in Photoshop. We spent one afternoon in groups walking around Covent Garden capturing images of our three models, man was that a trip!

A big thank you to Yervant and Anie and everybody else who made the event such a huge success. I will definitely be attending your next European event.

Here are a few Crash-Art images I captured walking around the streets of London with fellow photographer friend Ryan Browne.
