Wall Art

As Wedding & Portrait Photographers, Vanessa and I love the idea of going out and just wandering with our camera’s and discovering some things new and some things old. Colors and textures as well as patterns that either occur in nature or are man made always seem to catch our eye. We stretch our creativity and use the natural occurring light as we discover little details in the world around us.

These adventures help keep our eyes sharp and our minds keen and help to strengthen our Wedding and Portrait photography skills.

We have made these into wall art and have decorated our home with them. The images are not the everyday images hanging in Art shops or Shopping Centers.

We thought we would share some of them with you and hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Engagement Photographs

At Foreverly Photography we offer engagement sessions, and most of our wedding packages include engagement sessions. The engagement session serves two purposes. The first and most obvious is pictures of the happy couple!!

The second and not so obvious is to give us a chance to work with you before your wedding day. At the conclusion of the engagement session we aren’t  strangers any more.

We have spent and hour or so together and we aren’t just two people sticking cameras in your faces. On the wedding day we have found that this has significantly reduced the stress some couples naturally feel when working with photographers.

During the engagement session we have the chance to talk about your wedding day. We get to talk in depth about your plans and expectations concerning your photography coverage. It goes one step farther in planning your wedding day photography needs.

The Ring Shot


We really like doing a shot of the wedding rings for our couples! There is an important reason (not just the obvious reason) to have a great quality Macro shot of your wedding rings. We like to include the photograph of the ring in all of our album designs. They are the outward symbol that the whole world sees and they are unique to you and your partner. The rings that you have chosen are special to you and your partner. However, in the event something should happen (and we sincerely hope nothing does) you have a visible record that can be shown to a jeweler or an insurance company.

What’s the first thing that happens when a girl tells her friends and family that she is engaged?

Everyone asks to see ring!

We can and often do include a picture of your engagement ring in your engagement session.

Here are a few of our favorite ring shots…

Worcester

Yesterday I had a special treat for lunch when I met with our good friend and fellow photographer Michelle Morris in Worcester. Michelle is an accomplished portrait photographer and is a long time friend of Vanessa. Michelle and Vanessa were the hugely popular Morris & Tombs Photography.
Michelle took me into Worcester and introduced me to Katherine Bujanszki owner of Beautiful Flowers  (www.beautifulflowersbykb.co.uk  ) The shop is located on New Street and is  full of fresh flowers, beautiful arrangements and the perfume of flowers is soothing and refreshing. Katherine did all the floral arrangements for Michelle's wedding and after meeting her and having a look around her shop I completely understand why!
Next Michelle took me to meet Anja Potze owner of Anja Potze Fine Jewellery LTD ( www.anjapotze.com). Anja offers custom pieces that are works of art. Beautifully crafted rings, bracelets, ear rings and necklaces! Her shop is quiet intimate with the displays lit perfectly so as to appreciate the beauty of her work and is  located on Friar Street.
As Vanessa and I establish Foreverly Photography here in the UK we are meeting new people and renewing old friendships. We are firm believers that personal recommendations are the one thing that makes finding wedding vendors, or vendors of any kind really, much easier. Trusting the details of a wedding to someone you know little to nothing about is very stressful. We think by sharing and introducing our clients to our trusted vendors we can help reduce the stress. We won't recommend anyone we wouldn't use ourselves. We hope that gives our clients a good starting place from which to work. We happily and quite confidently recommend Anja, Kate and of course Michelle!
Big Thanks to Michelle ( www.michellemorris.co.uk ) Worcester Portrait Photographer  for sharing these two wonderful businesses with us and for being such a good friend.
