MEET THE SUPPLIERS Serena Nicholls | Sem’s Photography www.semsphotography.com Darren Edmonds | DJM Photography www.djmphotography.co.uk Lee Gibbins | Lee Gibbins Photography www.leegibbinsphotography.com www.leeg ibbinsphotography.com www.leeg ibbinsphotography.com Lee says: Jess and Adam were naturals when posing for portraits; their love for each other was clear to see and shone through all the photos. The couple was surrounded by family and friends, making the day even more special. www.djm photography.co.uk Lee says: I had planned with the bride and groom to leave their wedding venue (Holiday Inn Jesmond) and head to Jesmond Dene with the idea of getting this breathtaking photo. However, many people were having picnics and enjoying the s un as it was a hot day and we were rather disappointed. But t o our disbelief, they all packed up their food and blankets and s tood to one side to allow us to get the shot – we could not thank t hem enough! Darren says: I took this simple and elegant image and carefully added details through photoshop. The original image was missing fairylights on the trees and fireplace, and the floor lanterns had no candles in. I carefully added this and tied everything together with additional editing to make the bride glow and create that dreamy wedding moment. www.sem sphotography.com www.sem sphotography.com Serena says: This cheeky groom was such a character who pulled the funniest faces. I asked him to stand inside the lobby to capture photos before the guests entered, he suddenly popped his head around the door instead and I luckily caught the shot. It soon became one of not just my favourite images, but theirs also! www.leeg ibbinsphotography.com Lee says: Not everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera; Stephanie and Andrew wanted to capture great shots but have felt awkward being photographed in the past. They only have one photo up in their home of themselves together. I enjoy putting people at ease and making them feel comfortable and it didn’t take long before we were getting some beautiful photos. You can overcome your nerves with help from the right photographer. Serena says: The endearment that radiates between these two brides is a sight to treasure. Their pets were not only adorable but cooperative – you can feel the love through this photo. PHOTOGRAPHY 69
