Shoko & Michael – Wedding Photography at Hampden House, Buckinghamshire

Shoko and Michael’s wedding was a real Anglo-Japanese event, with elements of both cultures present in their day at the beautiful Hampden House. There were a few language barriers, but these were partially broken down by the groom managing to repeat the majority of his speech in his new wife’s mother tongue.

What’s in a name?

Unfortunately quite a lot at the moment if you are my friend and fellow photographer David Calvert.

David has just discovered this in light of the recent stories run in the daily papers suggesting that Jon Venables was going by the name of David Calvert. Since then David’s photography site has had over 50,000 hits. Normally I’d be thrilled that his site is so popular, but at the moment he is obviously very concerned.

As his colleague I am doing all I can to help David disassociate himself from this dreadful story. He is in no way related to David Calvert of Fleetwood, who has also been highlighted in the press and is in no way connected to the tragic case of Jamie Bulger.

David, 46, is a national award winning photographer and his business David Calvert Photography, based in Hertfordshire, specialises in family and child portraiture. David has my complete support in these difficult circumstances and we hope very much that they pass without impact to him, his own family or his business.

Latest WPJA Success!

I found out at the weekend that one of my images from last year has placed in the latest WPJA wedding photography contest. It’s a shot from Emma & Ian’s wedding in Dorset last August, and it placed 19th in the ‘Bride Getting Ready’ category. You can see more images from this wedding in my galleries section.
