Clare and Paul are getting married at St Cuthbert’s Church in Porstmouth in September and holding their reception at HMS Excellent on Whale Island. There are not many weddings at this naval venue as it is not available to the general public, so I was delighted when Clare and Paul chose me and Sally as their wedding photographers. We met up recently to have a look around the venues and discuss plans for the day, and then headed out to Old Portsmouth for their engagement photo shoot. It was a very warm and sunny afternoon – just right for an afternoon at the seaside and we had a lot of fun. Clare and Paul are keen photographers themselves and were happy to help me try something a little bit different that I’ve been wanting to do for a while. The first couple of photos below are a combination of portrait photography and long exposure landscapes, which is another photographic passion of mine. More of that style of photography can be seen on my fine art and travel photography site Good Light Hunting. Anyway, here are those shots and a few more of my favourites from a very enjoyable afternoon!
