🎥 Lauren + Anthony - Brinsop Court Wedding Videography, Herefordshire
I met up with Lauren and Antony in early 2019 with their photographer and my good friend Che Birch Hayes, he was taking care of the photographs of the wedding day and I was making a film.
The day started with the bridal prep and I got to work capturing footage and getting myself set up, my working setup for video is similar to my photography setup, with my Fuji X-H1 at the heart of my gear load-out. Added to the X-H1 is the 56mm and that is pretty much what I’ll shoot 90% of the day on, it gives great compression as well as a consistent look and feels to the video when editing…
Fuji X100F - Coming back to the X100 series
It’s been a long while since a Fuji X100 series camera was part of my kit bag, but with the addition of my own Fuji X100F (in stylish black) that is no longer the case.
The original X100 was my first X Series camera back in the day, it was a slow little thing back then but it was just wonderful to use, it started my Fuji journey and led me through a range of X cameras to where I am today.
Inspiration - Photography Books
I’m a big fan of photo books for inspiration, all too often scrolling through instagram can leave me feeling uninspired, after seeing such an array of incredible work in stunning location. It’s at these time I find it good to pick up a book, a curated selection of images sometimes with some method is great to look through and feel inspired once again.
I did a short book review a few years back, if you are interested you can read this here<

Hereford Wedding Photographer - Esther + Simon
I first met Esther and Simon after my good friend Che Birch Hayes recommended them to me, they told me of their plans to do much of the wedding themselves and how they wanted their day to one focused on friends and family…
Fuji 56mm f1.2 Review
I’ve had this lens pretty much since it came out after waiting what seems like an age, in fact back when I still had my 60mm lens the yet to be released 56mm was rumoured to only be an F1.4 lens and the release date kept getting pushed back. Eventually I upgraded from the 60mm and I wrote about that a long time ago in an older blog…
