• And the rain came…a wedding in Kent – Lucy & Lee May 14, 2013
  Wedding Photographer - Martin Beddall  A wet wedding in West Farleigh in Kent on Saturday for Lucy & Lee, after the day had started promisingly with blue skies. The heavy downpour* that greeted us all at the end of the wedding ceremony, certainly killed the village cricket match taking place in an adjoining field but didn’t dent the day […]

• River Cottage wedding – Cath & David May 8, 2013
  Wedding Photographer - Martin Beddall  River Cottage was the idyllic location for last Sunday’s wedding and it was a cracker! You’ll have heard of River Cottage, it’s bound to be on the spine of one of the cookery books on your kitchen shelf. It’s the River Cottage HQ, Park Farm, the focus of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s Channel 4 series. A rustic […]

• Is it Spring yet? May 1, 2013
  Wedding Photographer - Martin Beddall  Chanctonbury Ring, early morning on May the 1st 2013 and one of those quirky, very English customs – morris dancing. An annual ritual to welcome the coming of Spring by the Chanctonbury Ring Morris Men. But this morning the Spring and the sun forgot to turn up on time. Well that’s not entirely true. […]

• Newdigate & Coverwood Farm wedding – Emma & Graeme April 29, 2013
  Wedding Photographer - Martin Beddall  Spring looked like it had finally arrived at Emma and Graeme’s wedding last Saturday, as the daffodils glowed under blue skies and fluffy white clouds. There was however to be a sting in the tail later, as the weather turned! The coverage began at St Peter’s church in Newdigate, Surrey. I’ve driven past the […]

• Photographer snaps up… April 13, 2013
  Wedding Photographer - Martin Beddall  Digital cameras – that is the subject of this short post. This is not meant to be another post about that award – although everyone tells me that I’m meant to be marketing it, marketing it a bit more and marketing once again.   The first photo below is from my local newspaper talking […]

• Braxted Park wedding – Eleanor & Daniel April 4, 2013
  Wedding Photographer - Martin Beddall  Braxted Park was the venue for Bank Holiday Monday’s wedding. Eleanor and Daniel had chosen a location very close to their own home.

• Professional Photographer of the Year Award March 29, 2013
  Wedding Photographer - Martin Beddall  Photography awards. I’ve never been the type of photographer forever shooting for and entering competitions. In the early days of my career I once had a book thrown at me across the newspaper picture desk. My crime was I had failed to enter a recent front page shot of mine in the annual Press […]

Then the meal […]

• Looking back…first weddings (shot on film) March 3, 2013
  Wedding Photographer - Martin Beddall  There was a recent thread in an online forum for photographers asking about the first weddings that everyone had shot and how they compared to their current work. There were some shockers!   Work that was a million miles away from the imagery some photographers were now shooting. Much of that must be experience, […]
