Wedding photography and videography Alicante

Personal work – Shoot of Georgia | Orihuela Costa

Sunday, July 28, 2013

Georgia was introduced to me through my very good friend Sue. Sue wanted to experiment with hair/make-up and I really liked the idea of doing some shots. Georgia lives in the United States and Sue had talked about doing a test shoot with her for some time. Lucky for us Georgia came to visit Sue in Spain. A couple of the shots are below.

Wedding in Casa del Maco – Costa Blanca – Spain | Laura and Ian

Saturday, July 20, 2013

Small disclaimer: I was not the main photographer for this Wedding in Casa del Maco. I just came along with the main photographer for the ‘ride’

Laura and Ian were a couple we met up with in London last year during our Christmas break. That week we were actually staying with a couple for whom I shot the wedding a couple of years ago.

Two day event

During the meet and greet they talked about having a two day wedding event. The service on the 20th of July and beach party on the 21st of July. We talked about the wedding venue and all their other wedding planning ideas. They did not use an outside wedding planner.

Nevertheless, they got outside help. They relied on the help and assistance of the events manager at the venue. Particularly the venue helped them with any other wedding vendors they needed. Obviously the bride and groom spoke with so much excitement about their summer wedding that it rubbed off. Absolutely stoked to photograph their big day

Santa Ana Church

The wedding ceremony was held in the picturesque chapel Altea la Vella church ‘ Santa Ana’. Undoubtedly recommended if you want to get married on the Costa Blanca. The church was full of wedding guests with not a single seat free, all their friends and family came out to Spain especially for their wedding.

Wedding in Casa del Maco

Following the wedding ceremony, the reception, dinner and celebrations was held at the rustic Casa del Maco in Benissa. Lovely setup and great guest rooms. At the reception they had a Spanish band playing. Whereas in the evening, during the wedding party, they had an English band playing. Absolutely fantastic, both forms of entertainment.

Finally, Laura and Ian, thanks for letting us be part of your special day. The relations with your family and friends, the events and emotions on the day inspired us to do what we do best: photography that was inspired by you.

Sports portraits Alicante

So, finally, after some prep, my dear friend Sue (MUA, styling, pre-production) and I managed to find two great models and a nice location for an evening sports portrait shoot. We chose San Miguel for the rugged background free of roads and telephone wires. The time of day would be sunset. We knew that we would very quickly start to loose light so we had to work fast and efficiently but thanks to the models Isidro and Mel that was a piece of cake.

Technical aspects – Lighting:

Left and right side of the frame I placed a 500W Bowens strobe set to about F/9 (about half power). The Bowens were powered by a generator (12V/21amp gel battery and 1200W pure sine wave inverter of Samlex). The strobe on the left had a 140×35 strip softbox and on the right the same. As some of you may have noticed, the flash duration of my Bowens strobes cannot keep up with the motion speed of the athletes – if I am correct this is 1/925 s for these units.

Technical aspects – post processing:

Processed with Adobe Camera RAW, shot in 14-bit. In general: lifted shadows, decreased contrast, increased back point, dodge and burn and sharpened for web output.

Pre wedding fun in Stord – Norway | Trine and Jonatan

Sunday, September 2, 2012

Trine and Jonatan offered the two families a meet and greet on a boat the evening before the wedding. With a couple of beers and some wine I’d say a great way to get to know each other. The trip lasted approx. 1,5 hours and then the boats moored in the port of Stord. Nearby was a place where most of the friends used to hang out in the the weekend. Trine was I believe the DJ back then 😉 The brother of Trine, Frode, had made a lovely fish soup that went down well. Thanks Frode!
