“Mum my hands are black…” I turned around expecting to see a few splodges of paint on her hands…

This was a really fun wedding from last year. So much laughter, so much joy.

The light was golden and the park still covered in snow. We had an hour to kill while my eldest was at craft club. So we headed to the frozen park and basked in the soft golden sun…

There was not a chance in the world this boy would pose for a valentine shoot, so his crazy mother thought of his beloved dinosaurs…

Just a little recap, this is my first experience with the Nikon D700 professional camera and as a satisfied Nikon D7000 user, I wanted to know the differences of both bodies and just how much better the professional body is at over double the price.

Disclaimer: When a camera body 2.5 years older than another body which has newer technology is still double the price, I have to be convinced that the older and more expensive one is better.

Yesterday was a pretty important day. It’s the first time I held and looked through the viewfinder of a Nikon full-frame camera. I decided to make a comparison of the shots between the professional camera D700 which has a full sensor and the professional-standard camera D7000 which has a crop sensor.

Here’s my autumn wedding inspiration boards installment.

I thought I’d share the wedding inspiration boards that I make for many of my weddings as a visual ‘summary’ of the wedding day. I do it mainly for my portfolio.

…Then one fine day in late September of last year, we came home from school and I knew the thinking had to cease and the doing to start. So within 5 minutes, I grabbed the things I knew I wanted to use and set-up the shots in my 5 meter square garden.
