A few days ago I was walking through town with my Canon G10 and took this photo of the Nottingham wheel. I turned the image black and white and applied a texture giving it an older classic look.
Tomorrow I will be editing Saturday’s wedding which took place in Derbyshire. I should have some images on the blog on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Hope you’re all well and have a great Easter holiday – Crash Taylor, Nottingham Wedding Photography
In February one of my favourite Crash-Art images from last year was awarded a GOLD award from the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers. The category was wedding photojournalism so I was extremely pleased. I haven’t entered any competitions lately due to being so busy with work and baby Jake Onni so this was a real nice award to start the year off with.
I’m really looking forward to Saturday’s wedding at Fawsley Hall with Janie and Paul who are a super cool couple. Stay tuned for some Crash-Art images next week. Crash Taylor, Nottingham Wedding Photographer
Today Jake Onni Taylor is two weeks old and is loving life. I took this photo this morning after his morning feed. He loves keeping me up at night, last night we watched TV until 4am. God bless him. It’s absolutely the best feeling in the world, I couldn’t imagine my life without him, the love we feel for him is unexplainable.
My next wedding is on the 14th March at Newstead Abbey, I’m really looking forward to it as it will be my first wedding with my new Canon 5D Mark II’s.

Here is my son, Mr Jake Onni Taylor.
I just want to thank all my clients who have booked me to photograph their beautiful wedding adventure for 2009. My brand new Canon 5D Mark II’s are going to get a great workout helping me create stunning images for my clients. My inspiration and creativity level is crazy at the moment. I can’t believe how much I love my profession. I could not imagine doing anything else. Well maybe I would like to be a world champion Formula 1 driver.
Everyday I wake up thinking is this going to be it, is Ilona going to go into labour. I’m so excited I don’t know what to do with myself. We have bought everything we need and today we finally finished washing all his new clothes. I hope the washing machine is still working.
2009 is going to be an amazing year, 30 + beautiful wedding adventures, portrait shoots, workshops, holidays in Los Angeles, Spain, Amsterdam and Finland and family visiting from across the globe. Loving it!
I just want to thank my family, friends and fellow photographers for all their kind wishes and support they have given me over the last year. This is definitely the best time of my life and thank you all for being a part of it.
I was going through my hard drives today before they go into storage and found some photos I would like to share with you. Crash Taylor Wedding Photography Nottingham

Here are a few images I have taken over the last few weeks. The Taylor family is so excited at the moment with the impending arrival of our first child. He will also be the first grandchild for mine and Ilona’s parents so you can imagine the excitement in the air. The due date is February 22nd!
My second wedding for 2009 will be at Newstead Abbey on March 14th! In the meantime it’s baby shopping and reading as many books as I can on how to be the perfect father!
This was taken a few days ago at Costa Coffee on the 3rd floor of Waterstones books in the city centre. It had been snowing the night before as you can see on the roof tops. Canon G10 with natural light.
A few images of my friend Rachel taken last week at Lace Market Photography studios. I’m trying to spend more time in the studio but to be honest I much prefer being outdoors. These images were taken using 3 Bowens strobes and a Canon 5D Mark II.
Taken a few weeks ago at Newstead Abbey. Ilona is 9 months pregnant and still looks as beautiful as ever, even though she doesn’t think so. It’s not easy being 9 months pregnant, God bless her. Canon G10 and natural light.
A quick morning snap shot of my beautiful wife. Canon G10, natural light and a Photoshop action to mimic fuji film.
Yesterday I had the priviledge of being featured on a great photography blog Visual Realia. To read the article click here. If you’re a photographer I highly recommend you check out Visual Realia. Thought I would share a few images from a beautiful wedding I photographed in Marbella, Spain in 2007. Have a nice weekend. Crash
IMAGES OF THE DAY
Today I had the priviledge of being interviewed by Jason Anderson of the CanonBlogger. Jason has a great blog that keeps you up to date with what’s going on in the photographic industry. To read my interview with Jason head over to CanonBlogger.
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.
