About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...

Time to stroke the ol' ego once again! Some feedback I received a while back, from Lorin (& Adam), after they received their pictures;
 
Dear Andrea and Ursula
 
Wow! You ladies are amazing!
 
Words cannot begin to express how amazing your photographs are.
The great thing is all the detail that we missed is captured in amazing detail (there were pizzas??) and each image is beautiful and thoughtful.
 
Thank you for allowing is to relive our day and enjoy it all over again. You have such amazing talent!
 
Love Lorin x

Well done Andrea.
These comments are to be expected as you are in my opinion rated in the top 10 photographers in the country and we can expect to many more compliments such as these as I myself am always inspired by your work. God bless

I tested some gorgeous actions for Dror - and by doing that I got a wee break from editing weddings and played a little bit with my own pictures.

Love this.

If you liked it and want some more - Secret tip off: If you go onto Dror's blog and have a look at the top right in the grey block - He has just launched some new vintage actions which are just as awesome! Better be quick as I am not sure how long they will be there.

I am going to do this post write-up in a different way than usual.

Angie's & Keith's wedding invite was worded so aptly in describing the venue for their day, I thought I would copy just that to introduce the special moments captured in time:

 

"In a secret garden not too far away.

Two special people, one special day.

When asked the question they'll say "I do"

They'd like this moment shared with you"

I am not really fond of many Photoshop black & white conversions, although, there are the very few exceptions - this being one of them, a b&w action called Vanilla and created by Dror.

Andrea I think I must start leaving your message block BLANK !
Maybe you will know what this means as I am a blank when I try and find words to compliment your work with. I agree in that you always capture the colours and light so well. Well done!

(10.01.09 @ 11:37 AM)
Angie:

Andrea, thank you so much. You told me the climb would be worth it - and you were absolutely right! Can't wait to see more!
