There are some beautiful spots within the grounds of Trunkwell house all very close to the house so no long treks to get some nice photographs.Below are a couple of views of the back gardens:

Some of you are probably thinking you can get a friend or relative to take your wedding photographs, yes you can, but I have heard so many stories from people who are disappointed by the end result, that when they come to the second marriage or the wedding vow renewal one of the first things they book is a professional wedding photographer. So why do we do it so much better than your friends or relatives?
well where do we start:
1/We have all the right equipment for the job, including spare camera, spare flash guns (in case the main one stops working (things do happen)) and studio lights in the event that we have to take the photographs inside. What will uncle Fred use if his camera breaks or he drops it or he forgets to charge the battery. I also have a camera with a battery that will take over 2000 pictures before needing re-charging, does uncle Fred? How many will his take (with flash)?.
2/ We take most photographs with flash to ensure that all are beautifully lit with highlights in peoples eyes. Will Uncle Fred make sure you look that good?
3/ We are fully trained in how to take superb wedding photographs, we know how to arrange the people and how to deal with the awkward members of your family that never want to be photographed.
4/ We have often been to the venue before and so know the best places to use, will uncle Fred go and reconnoiter the venue? I doubt it.
5/ We make sure that all the images when printed are colour corrected, i.e. take the redness out of those indoor shots, make those awful grey days seem a little warmer than they really were.
6/ We have a vast array of poses that we can use to make for more interesting photographs, not just stand you all in a line like Uncle Fred will. I know how to use differential focus to make things more artistic and when to use a fast shutter speed to capture that moment in motion.
7/ We can supply the end result as a beautiful album or a CD/DVD with your picture printed on the front, to treasure for ever, that you will want to view time and time again, not just pass on a pile of 6×4 inch prints that end up curled up in a box for ever more, unloved and un-viewed.
8/ We are fully insured for public liability (in the event someone falls over me or the equipment I use) and I am fully covered for professional indemnity.
9/ And in the event that we cannot make the day due to unforseen circumstances,we have an array of excellent photographers that we can call on in order to make sure that you have someone there that can do the job for you just as well. What will you do if uncle Fred doesn’t turn up?!!! End up like the couple I met last week who are performing a vow renewal and insisted on a professional photographer because the only picture they have from the original wedding is stuck to the glass of the picture frame it is in and so cannot be removed to be cleaned or put in a better frame.
