Kealey & Ben came back from their honeymoon last week and their images are up on the website so it’s time to show you a few.

Here’s Maci. Their daughter. We took loads of her…

I love windy veil shots!

And the fisheye came out for a shot of the two of them with the whole reception in the background.

The reception was in a huge marquee and the light was beautiful.

And cavorting in the wheat field just as the sun was setting.

This is one of my faves of the year. We rarely see great sunsets with the other necessary ingredients here in the UK.

A very different venue and our first Muslim wedding

It’s always good to receive thank you letters from happy clients and these two are no exception. Here’s the first:

Just wanted to say thank you for doing the photobooth on the 11th – it was a huge success and we can’t stop looking at our guest book!!!
 
Please can we go ahead and order 100 thank you postcards with the following images and message. Thank you! Love Luke and Nat xxx

Here they are:

And the second:
 
Firstly, thanks a million for making our day one to remember – people were so excited when they heard that we had a photobooth set up (we’d kept it a surprise from literally everyone) and I think they used it to the max! We love the photos and are planning on making an entire wall of them by getting them individually framed.   Natalie

Here they are:

Last weekend we traveled to Coventry, Kent and Essex and there was one particular Photobooth that I went to a little early.

The Wildlife Heritage Foundation near Ashford in Kent is a pretty unusual venue for a wedding reception as it’s a park for big cats. Callum & Claire’s wedding reception itself took place in a big marquee in the middle of the park and the wedding guests were given a guided tour of the animals as part of the day. The weather was not good and the light levels were very low for photography when we arrived but one of the guides gave Lisa and myself a tour of the big cats before we set up the Photobooth. One of the tigers…

And the bride and groom, Callum & Claire…

Their guests were a creative bunch and I’ve posted a few of the sequences of them from the Photobooth. Loads of fun!

This fun couple asked if we could increase the delay between each shot in the Photobooth sequence. No problem as long as we don’t have a big queue. I thought that this sequence was great fun.

Amy and Lee’s wedding reception took place on a farm near Coventry and the wet weather added to the drama along with problems with the main electricity generator. Teri’s car got stuck in the mud and the power went off a few times. If you are having your wedding reception in a marquee and there is no normal mains power, let us know! There are a couple of things that we can take with us to an event to prevent any power outage.

Here are Amy and Lee.

Claire & Nick’s wedding reception took place at the Woodlands Park Hotel near Cobham and they all got into the true Photobooth spirit very quickly. Here they are:

And last, but by no means least, the photographers.

Abdul and Abida had their wedding reception in North Weald in Essex on Sunday afternoon. Although they never had the opportunity to use the Photobooth themselves, their guests had great fun!

Amongst others here are the bridesmaids.
