a wedding photographers summer

With the wedding season coming to a close and the hard graft of the last six months, finally starting to pay off, time to start back on the blog which to be honest has been so neglected because of the sheer amount  of weddings that have to be filmed,edited, album designs and print orders that all have to be processed before the next wedding and at some points in the middle of July & august I was doing 5 straight weddings in a row. At least I can say the weather this year been excellent with only 2 weddings where the rain has been iffy to say the least and they were in the last couple of weeks of October.

Biker wedding at Leez priory,1930's style wedding at the Lawns at Rochford, Italian wedding at Bexleyheath Marriott, shooters hill golf club, Orsett hall, several times and even a turkey farm to name a few and a whole host of others and for the most part all went very well with lots of exceptional comments on Facebook. Equipment failures were even minimal this year with only the hot shoe on one of my backup Nikon d700's failing just as the bride was about to walk down the aisle with her father, luckily it was secondary to my D4, oh and a Lexar memory card refused to record more than 40 images.

2015 is looking even busier than 2014 with all the key months such as June, July, August and September totally booked up and as I speak inquiries are still coming in for autumn and winter months of this year. The party season is almost upon us and now the marketing on Facebook & Google adwords will begin to take shape over the next few weeks, but the way things are going on the wedding photography front I think I will be doing weddings right through autumn and well into early next year

The Wedding season is now in full swing & the past several months have been very hectic for me with 2 to 3 weddings every week from May its been mad, so this the first post i have written since the end of may, with all my time taken up with weddings ,editing,enquiry's and new bookings for the rest of this year and well into 2015 and 2016

A new PC from chilblast ,an OC lite which was desperately need since my hp, although being a good machine and only 18 months old was starting to struggle with all the DNG's put into it.The OC lite is a superb PC , i-7 overclocked to 4 something what ever,16gb ram,water cooling etc etc, now i could have bought a shiny new I - Mac for looks but for practicability and with the fact that all my software is windows based i really didn't see the point in buying it all again,anyway its fast, i can run lightroom 5 & photo shop & all my NIK software all at the same time and at super fast speed which has really sped up my processing time,especially when editing 3 weddings in one week which amounts to approx 5000 images.To top it off a new camera NIKON D4, now i know what all the togs out there are going to say, " why on earth did you get a D4 " and not a D800, well firstly file size, we all know how big the file sizes are on the 800 and secondly comfort, me being built like a gorilla has massive hands and the D4 fit's perfectly into my un-nimble gorilla mitts,apart from the high ISO and also apart from the fact that the hot shoe on both my D700'S failed and had to be repaired by fixation at a cost of £170.00 each, i thought it was about time for a new camera and push the 700's into backup.Enough said a few images from recent weddings                                Richard kinsley photography
