>Francine. Head shots.

Posted on January 29, 2011 by natashacadman

>There are certain types of people that are always upbeat. Always laughing.Always smiling.Francine is one such person. I have known her for 10 years this year, and she has always been this way. We met at Intake High School and have remained close friends ever since. In face, she is one of my best!

She is now a fully qualified dance teacher for Dance for Life, and her portfolio needed some updated images.

When she asked me to do her head shots for her, I know we were going to have fun. She wanted something that was just a little different to your normal theatre shots.So that’s what we did.

I may be biased but Fran – you look FAB on these pictures! I hope you like.

>Inspiration for brides

Posted on January 24, 2011 by natashacadman

Inspiration for brides.

Just one of the things that I love about being a wedding photographer, is meeting all the different brides. Each bride is so unique and has her stamp to put all over her wedding. From themes to favours. Invitations to food. Flowers to dresses. The list – it goes on. I am an avid blog reader, of all sorts and on my many blog reads I have come across some great websites that offer a lot of inspiration for brides. DIY projects, themes, colour schemes. A smorgasbord of beautiful eye candy.
My job as your wedding photographer is to capture all this. Your details. Your stamp. Your individuality.To help brides that have booked me as their photographer or are maybe thinking about booking – or perhaps you just like to look at pretty things- I have created an Extras page on my website. This is a page for all things extra special that can inspire a bride for her wedding. There will be some website links and some layout spreads appearing to show case all things nice.

If you would like to take a look click here. Keep checking this site often as it will be updated regularly.

Happy Monday.

>More of me for you.

So. Something a little different. This year I have taken the executive decision (because it is my blog) to include more of me for you! I want the people that read this to know me.Potential clients I would love for you to get to know me. Passed clients I want you to stay knowing me.

So. This weekend me and Jim took ourselves for a walk. A long.Muddy.Walk. I think by the end of it even Alf wished he was at home.

A few clues for below.

1. The one in blue – that’s Jim.

2. The one with four legs – that’s Alf.

3. The girl sinking in mud. But enjoying it. That’s me.

Happy Wednesday.

>The rarest thing in the world….

”The rarest thing in the world is a woman who is pleased with photographs of herself”

When Mal first approached me for these pictures, I felt honoured. To me, Mal is the sort of person who keeps things to herself,watches and listens. She is such a nice woman. She is the sort of person who put’s other before herself. Never thinking twice about it. So,when she asked if she could have a little pamper time, with make up and pictures, something just for her, I said YES!

When we started the shoot it was like many shoots are when you have a lens in front of you. Strange.Odd. Awkward. But. As we began to take pictures, walk, talk and laugh the real Mal started to shine through. Fabulous Mal, outside and in.

Mal I hope you are a rarity and are pleased with your pictures.

** Nice scarves by the way

>Garry and Emma’s winter wedding.

Posted on January 6, 2011 by natashacadman

>The weeks leading up to the wedding,snow was falling heavily.Just like theirpre wedding shoot. However just in the days before, the temperature was now warming up and rain was forecast. But, as fate had decided it didn’t rain. In fact it was nothing less but a beautiful, crisp winters day. I started my day off with the boys….. all 11 of them.

Very dapper.

I then headed over to the hotel where the girls where getting ready. There I met the lovely bridesmaids.

At the hotel there were a few last minute details to take care of so preparation pictures were not wanted. Which is fine, I will always accommodate the bride. This is her day. I am just the story teller.

I loved this picture of Emma getting out of the car.

The ceremony was held at Keighley Shared Church. It’s really quite lovely inside. I love the old stained windows they really add something to the atmosphere.

The reception was held at the Ramada Jarvis,Bingley. It has the feel of an old castle and inside the interior is all dark wood.

You might have guessed by now but the theme for the wedding was black and pink. Which was carried out into the dining area. The table decorations had all the sparkle and twinkle of Christmas without being over the top. Crackers and tiny presents as favours. Reindeer’s as table names and beautiful winter trees as centre pieces.

When it was time for the speeches, we had all the flavour of rugby boy banter but they were aslo straight from the heart. As Garry stood and told his family and friends, how he loved the lady he now calls wife there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. Included me. An expression of love is such a strong and powerful thing.

When dinner was over and the evening reception was beginning to get in swing Garry and Emma wanted some pictures outside. Even though it was dark. I was prepared and more than happy to oblige.

Something about the below image draws me to it. It isn’t posed. Not everyone is looking at the camera. But to me it, I see happiness.
