During the drive from the Big Smoke to Brownsover Hall Hotel, Rugby, I was accompanied by Helena. As we drove north, we chatted: cameras and lenses, Adobe ACR, the moolah Spanish wedding photographers earn. By the time we reached the M6, the early morning mist had dissipated and day looked to be unseasonably summery and bright.
One of the first things I remember asking Helena was what camera and lenses she was going to use at the shoot as it seemed she was not carrying much. She showed me two old film cameras, a Canon AE and a Praktica, both with prime lenses attached. Her intention to keep her photography straightforward and uncomplicated helped inspire my own approach to the day’s shooting.
One byproduct of carrying and using less gear, meant appreciating more the available light in the surroundings as the day progressed. My goal in shooting a cohesive set of images was definitely aided by the sunny weather and that the grounds of Brownsover Hall had a variety of photogenic arboreal locales.

The second part of the day’s shoot will be posted later.
Also attending the Brownsover Hall shoot were wedding photographers from the Leeds bridal shoot, Paula and Konrad. It was good to catching up with them, albeit briefly, given during the day, photographers scattered ( with models ) to pursue their own photographic ideas.
Last but not least, many thanks to Jeff Land of Jeff Land Photography and his stylist Ruth Goalby of Ruth Goalby Photography for organising the shoot location, models and wardrobe.
