Below are a series of photos from the ‘Cherish the dress’ photoshoot I took in January.
As you can see there was a lot of snow on the ground, it was incredibly cold and after a while we had to finish shooting as it was way too cold for them in their wedding outfits. I really like the shots, it was a fantastic opportunity to capture wonderful portraits in a winter landscape.
Hope you like! Leave me a comment…
Oh so many, but as we don’t have many days of snow, I took advantage of it! The snow fell the day before, it took me 2 hours to get home, a journey that normally takes about 15 minutes…
A few dramatic shots from this years snowfall. I’ve used the sun as a back light and positioned it behind the tree trunks to create long shadows.
Here in South Wales we don’t get much in the way of snow – which is probably why we’re never able to cope with it, but this week the met office (the guys and girls that watch the weather for us over here) issued a red warning for the South Wales region. Virtually everyone I know thought, yeah right its never going to happen – I was quietly excited as I have been promising myself for a long while that the next time it snows, I’m going out in it with my camera equipment! 🙂
So I knew I wouldn’t be able to travel far in my little car, so decided to hike up the mountain I’ve lived by most of my life, I know the path so well, a place my Grandfather walked regularly – I wouldn’t have a problem. At the bottom there was quite a bit of it, but nothing like what greeted me at the top, over a foot of snow (probably tiny compared to many countries) blizzard conditions and a very muddy path being well disguised as a serene white wilderness. On two occasions the mud got me, I fell on my backside and on my knees – still I didn’t care, its not going to bring me down.
At one point while trudging up a large descent in foot high snow I thought to myself jokingly ‘its like I’m in the film the day after tomorrow’ as I was covered, unable to see with the wind blowing snowflakes into my eyes.
I walked just under 4.5 miles, and while I didn’t really notice it as I was photographing the beautiful landscape, I’m definitely noticing it now! ache!!!! I think its mostly because of the extra exertion from walking in deep snow.
Anywho enough of my rambling…

I hope you like the photos, they are only a small selection taken from today, no doubt I’ll post more very soon…
