Featured on love my dress

Pete — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 10:54:59 +0000

We’re very excited to have a wedding featured on Love My Dress. When we got married I remember Laura being surrounded with wedding magazines (piles of them!) but now there are so many amazing wedding blogs that I’m not sure it’s necessary anymore! Love My Dress is a treasure trove of ideas and highly worth checking out if you’re in need of inspiration or just want to look at pretty things!

There are two parts to the feature (we feel honoured!), part 1, and part 2.

All the pictures are attributed to Laura so I now know how Laura feels when people assume that I’m the one who takes all the pictures. Just to make it clear, we both take pictures, we both edit them, and both of us post on the blog (the author can be found at the bottom of each post by the comments)! Now that’s out of the way, here’s a little screen shot of the feature to entice you in, click on it for the original post!

Natalie & Pete – a little bit of video

Laura — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:17:42 +0000

We loved Natalie & Pete’s wedding rather a lot, and it’s also a really quiet time of year, so we’re overloading the blog with them! I only filmed few seconds here and there, we had a job to do after all, so most of it is still pictures.

Here’s the result:

The song is the awesome, ‘Gimme all your Lovin’ by ZZ Top.

Alex & Victoria’s Portrait Shoot in Manchester

Laura — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 10:29:51 +0000

On Sunday we had the pleasure of catching up with our old friend Alex and his lovely fiancé Victoria. They are getting married this June, and as we can’t take their wedding photos (their date was snapped up!) we decided it would be fun to do some portraits around Manchester instead! They are very cute together, their wedding is going to be beautiful

Here’s a little film/slideshow or scroll down if you just want to see the pictures.

First stop, the dirtiest alley we could find…

Vic is seriously fierce…

Next up the library, my favourite spot!

Aren’t they cute?!

I love this one…

Manchester Art Gallery…

We found this cool spot while wandering around…

My love for this wall is excessive…

Then it was time for a sit down and recharge at Trof…

Alex is almost as obsessed with taking pictures and camera geekery as we are…

In fact he took lots of pictures of us…

Thanks Alex, we love them! Anyway where were we…

Thanks for a fun afternoon guys, let’s do it again soon! X

Natalie & Pete’s Wedding at West Tower

Pete — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 19:51:12 +0000

Last Saturday we had the pleasure of photographing a really lovely wedding at West Tower in Aughton. The place has changed a lot since we got married there in 2007, there’s a fabulous new bridal suite (great for pictures!) and the place seems to have been extended in every direction – but it still has the lovely intimate feeling that we so loved in the first place.

Natalie & Pete’s wedding itself was a really fun day to be a part of. We even had some magical mist! They had very little in the way of formalities and clearly wanted to just have a really good time celebrating getting married. Natalie & Pete also didn’t want lots and lots of group shot, we really love this as it lets us concentrate on what we like to do best – capturing the atmosphere!

Here are some our our favourite pictures from the wedding:

Pete was a little bit nervous in the morning, but he held it together!

We’re so happy about West Tower’s new bridal suite – there’s loads of room in here now!

I love all of these portraits Laura took in the morning:

Pete looked very dapper:

A few portraits of the new Mr & Mrs

Look at those eyes! It’s hard to take a bad picture of Natalie.

We love the mist!

Emotional speeches:

Shots with the ladies:

The first dance was awesome (and ten minutes long!).

Congratulations Natalie & Pete! Hope you’re having a great honeymoon x

Art Books

Laura — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 19:12:07 +0000

Soon we will be changing our album options and introducing the gorgeous new Folio Albums. Staying with us in the transition is the fabulous Art Book, made in the U.S.A with lovely fine art paper and photographic covers. We love these albums, they are extremely pretty; we are overcome with excitement every time the postman arrives with the tell tale box. Check out their prettiness for yourself…

Nia & Gareth’s Winter Wedding at Peckforton Castle – Slideshow

Pete — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 11:26:29 +0000

Winter weddings are always a little bit challenging due to the lack of light, but they definitely more than make up for it by having a wonderful cosy atmosphere which we love trying to capture!

Here is the slideshow from Nia & Gareth’s lovely and relaxed January wedding. All their wedding pictures are also now online and available to view here – if you were a guest and need a password then please get in touch with Nia & Gareth or ourselves: peter@lawsonphotography.co.uk – or try the couple’s new surname!

Lunch with the Randalls

Pete — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 15:19:34 +0000

We had a lovely lunch last week with fellow photographers ‘The Randalls’. Stewart is feverishly working on Folio Albums, which we’re really excited about being able to show you in the next few months! Based in the UK, beautiful real leather (no pleather or bonded leather here!), fine art paper – I can’t see how these albums could not be awesome, and the prototypes are looking very special!

While we were there they made us pay for our food by taking a few pictures for Grandma’s birthday present. Here’s our favourite:
