Some very exciting news!! Our second baby is due on January 19th!

We are now offering a new product for our wedding clients - beautiful guest books full of images from pre-wedding/engagement shoots and plenty of room for guests to write in. They come in a variety of sizes and colours. I love them and hope that my wedding clients will treasure them forever! The one pictured is for Phil and Julie who get married tomorrow. Looking forward to capturing your special day guys!

At the end of June I had the incredible pleasure of photographing the wedding of the beautiful Richard and Anita in Coombe Abbey. I was joined by Alan Bremner for the day, who helped assist me from 9am-11pm! It was a long one but so worth it and I just can’t wait to show Anita and Richard their images. For now here is sneaky peak of three of my favourites. Big Congratulations guys!

I took along a set of cards for all the guests. On the front were images from Anita and Richard’s pre-wedding shoot and on the back details of where they can see the images and order prints. Everyone loved them!

12 Faces is an exciting new portrait project that I am involved in. There are 12 photographers from the UK and US. Each month for the next year one of us gets to choose the assignment for the month, which can be a word, poem, song, image etc. We then have to produce a portrait in response, so that at the end of the year we each have 12 new portraits. The aim is that we will enter at least one of our images into the National Portrait Prize. I’m excited!

Well, I can’t believe that a month has gone by and I haven’t got a post up on here. I have been extremely busy writing my thesis and working with some lovely clients.

So, a month later and I’m in Professional Photographer magazine again. This time a four page spread “A day in the life of Emily Quinton”, which covers the beautiful wedding I photographed for Amy and Dan, and the 75th birthday party for Edward de Bono.

This month I am featured in Professional Photographer magazine. It’s a feature about this very blog! It’s great to see it in print and it’s good to see that my blog is receiving attention from people!

I really do love working with little people. It is true children aren’t always easy to work with and they are always unpredictable. And they often surprise you - like this beautiful little girl who walked into my studio in her pretty dress and sat down for her photos. Her mum couldn’t believe it and nor could I. She’s only 15 months old! Needless to say she didn’t stay sitting down for long but she was an absolute joy to photograph and I love the results.

Last week I also had the pleasure of photographing this little guy who seemed to enjoy having his photographs taken. These were taken at his home, which I always think makes children feel more relaxed.

What a busy few days! Not even enough time for a little blogging. Lots of new images coming very soon but I just couldn’t resist posting this cute image from today’s engagement shoot with the lovely Phil and Julie. I simply can’t wait for their wedding in July. It’s going to be so much fun!

What a week last week was! I hardly sat down! The hightlight of the week was Friday. I started with Amy and Dan’s beautiful wedding at Moxhull Hall Hotel in Sutton Coldfield. I was really lucky to have the amazing Alan Bremner assisting me on his first wedding. We are just putting the results together and I think Amy and Dan will be delighted when they see them after their honeymoon.

Congratulations guys!

After the wedding I headed straight to Hotel du Vin in Birmingham to photograph Edward de Bono’s 75th birthday party. He had invited 75 women to celebrate with him. It was certainly a fun and interesting evening.

During the week I also did a few shoots for little people, a couple of pre-wedding meetings and also managed to squeeze in some relaxing family time! I’m glad this week isn’t quite so hectic though as I have a huge pile of editing to work through!

Here are a few more images from Katharine and Pete’s splendid wedding at Bickleigh Castle in Devon. I am so, so happy to have captured their very special day!
