Great open day on Saturday at one of my favorite venues, Llanthony Secunda Priory in Gloucester.

Morris dancing, guided tours of the 14th Century Priory, cheese, cider and more.

Yes.. that is cider in my camera

Golden hour in the Royal Forest of Dean!

A quick drive over a few days before the wedding for a walkabout with my dog ensured we timed our wander amongst the trees to perfection on the wedding day.

Lovely little set of images and we were only away from the party for 20minutes or so.

The best photos with minimal disruption to your enjoyment of the day.

Congratulations Charlotte and Joshua. What a day and what some luck with the weather!

A very interesting little job this week . One of my regular clients has been given a painting of one of his ancestors in battle and wanted it duplicated.

The challenge after getting a centuries old painting out of its almost equally old frame, was to photograph and reproduce it so that it still looks like a painting rather than a photograph of one. This was achieved by careful lighting and selection of a lovely canvas based, printing media for the duplicate

Unfortunately the original was carrying a bit of damage to the canvas surface so I digitally repaired that while I was at it.

Now it’s all done, you can barely tell original from copy.
