Pre-wedding photography shoot – Wellington College.

Darren — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 20:35:41 +0000

Flame towers, laser shows and glitter bombs. And that’s just the evening do!

A pre-wedding photo shoot is the ideal way to get to know your wedding photographer, for your wedding photographer to get to know YOU and to share your plans for your wedding day.

When I met Vickie and Ross recently at Wellington College, I wasn’t sure who was more excited about their upcoming wedding…. them or me! It’s such a wonderful setting for their big day. Stunning architecture well kept gardens, and a couple who can’t wait to enjoy their day.

It’s common for couples to be a little unsure of what to do in front of a photographer. But it is something we can quickly overcome and, within minutes, they were laughing and joking their way around the venue. They also shared some of their plans for the day too. It’s exciting stuff. And we’ll be there to cover all the fun and romance of the day.

We had the promise of Bluebells and they came out right on time for Carolyn and Paul’s wedding day. It made for some wonderful wedding photographs.

The woods themselves are situated within the grounds on The Pitt Hall Barn. It’s wonderfully characterful inside and made for a fun and informal wedding day. It’s also a date Paul won’t forget in a hurry as it’s also his birthday!

It’s also a great venue for a wedding photographer, as we can easily blend into the background to capture natural images of people enjoying the day…

Wedding Photography at The Clock Barn, Whitchurch, Hampshire.

“Before the big day Darren was completely flexible and receptive to our ideas, which made him stand out. This made him particularly easy to work with during a high stress time. He took time to understand exactly what we wanted and then offered suggestions which helped enormously, and came up with some really artistic ideas.

He was fun and easy to work with on the day and stayed unobtrusive. He was also flexible to our changes plans on the day itself.

We expected a long wait to see the shots but we were pleasantly surprised to see the pictures quite soon afterwards. When we did they easily exceeded our expectations and continue to give us much pleasure. We love the photos, especially some taken on the way to reception and they are a fantastic memento of the day.

Darren comes highly recommended.”

Miranda and Mark – Hampshire Wedding Photography – The Elvetham

Darren — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:04:03 +0000

When we were invited to be the wedding photographer at Miranda and Mark’s wedding at The Elvetham we were pretty excited for a couple of reasons;

Miranda and Mark were lovely couple, full of enthusiasm for their big wedding. During the months leading up to their big day, we got to learn a bit about their personalities and their plans for their wedding day. They wanted wedding pictures that were as natural as possible and captured the spirit of their day. They were also happy to stand out, at night, for the moment the fireworks were set off. In any January evening, this is a pretty brave thing for a bride to do in her wedding dress. But, this January, just after “The Big Freeze” we were very impressed that they stayed out there for the whole event in sub-zero temperatures so that we could photograph their wedding fireworks. I think it came out pretty well.

The Elvetham makes for a stunning backdrop for wedding photography. The venue has a wonderful team, working in the background, to ensure the wedding runs smoothly and everything is just right.

We did a lot of wedding photography planning leading up to the day so that we were fully prepared for sun or rain … and even snow (And we had a lot of that only week before their wedding!). On the day though, we had the most wonderful weather, and a wedding party that proved great fun to photograph.

It was still very cold by mid afternoon. Look at the bouquet!

This day was a wedding photographer’s dream!

Wonderful weather, lovely church and reception venues and a bride and groom who thoroughly enjoyed the fun and romance of their wedding day.

We also love the challenge when a bride or groom gives us a challenge. Loren and Tom are love old Jaguar cars. Some friends of theirs provided a few for their wedding day. “Could you get some nice shots of the cars?” came the request. This is what we did….

This is the third time we have photographed The Clock Barn in Whitchurch this year. It’s a great venue for wedding photography (A big space and lots of light) and for the event itself. Big enough for those who want to get away from the “noise” to have a chat with friends and family but small enough where you won’t feel lost on the dance floor. And, in the unlikely event of rain, there’s plenty of room for guests to mingle and plenty of opportunity for some romantic bride and groom photos.

I was dead chuffed to get this hand written card in the post….

Wedding Photographer Hampshire, Clock Barn, Whitchurch

“Dear Darren, Thanks you so much for our beautiful pictures. You were fantastic on the day and kept everyone relaxed and the photos show what a perfect day we had.

Everyone has commented on the great shots, especially in the field and we loved showing everyone the slide show.

Thanks again for everything.

Helen & Jamie.”

“From the moment we met Darren he filled us with confidence that he was a wedding photographer that understood what we wanted and had the expertise to deliver it. We wanted lots of candid shots that captured the moment of the day and he managed this better than we could’ve ever expected. He took time to meet us at both wedding venues to make sure he knew what wedding photography shots we wanted on our big day.

On our wedding day he was excellent. He had the people skills to build rapport with everyone, making us all feel relaxed. He also went above and beyond what we expected of him. For example, when the reception was starting I told him he could go home but he insisted on staying and getting a few more pictures. Later, he grabbed Adam and I to take us outside to get a fantastic shot with the sunset behind us. That photo ended up on our thank you cards and we’ve had so many compliments about it.

Little touches like that made Darren exceed our expectations by a mile and we have no hesitation in recommending him – in fact we already have!! We were amazed how many excellent photos there were, he did much more than point and shoot, he had the technical knowledge to really get beautiful shots. The quality of the prints, the DVD and the album he produced was excellent and such good value for money!”

Claire and Guy – Wedding Photography at Esseborne Manor

Darren — Sun, 24 May 2009 20:34:11 +0000

“We found Real People Photography fantastic to work with. Darren was so accomodating and spent time with me at the venue looking for the best place to set our photographs, asking staff how the grounds would look at the time of the wedding.

After the formal photographs we really can’t remember the photographs being taken which resulted in some of the best images of people being relaxed and enjoying themselves. Darren’s enthusiasm from start to finish was fantastic and he made us feel so comfortable that we had no doubts or worries. Darren was the first and only photographer we spoke to we felt so confident that Darren “got” us!”

Claire Kingston – Bride.

Speech!

Their son had a wonderful time seeing Mummy and Daddy get married!

“As well as being an amazing photographer, Darren is also extremely good with people and clearly loves capturing special moments. The main thing we wanted was a balance of natural shots and structured shots. Some of the best moments are those when people are laughing or smiling naturally, and Darren captured all of these throughout the whole day.

Darren is not at all pushy with people and had a very good nature with the little children who were overly curious about his camera – letting them look at it. Absolutely everyone I have spoken to who was at the wedding praised him, not only due to the outstanding photographs taken (which do capture the whole day), but also because of his friendly nature. It makes such a difference having a photographer who genuinely wants to be there to shoot great photos, and also enjoys the day.

We will certainly be recommending him to all of our friends!”
