Red, white and blue – getting in the Diamond Jubilee spirit

I was in Warwick for a photo shoot this afternoon and most of the shops are looking very patriotic with their  red, white and blue themed window displays, so I thought it was about time I revealed my Diamond Jubilee themed shopfront too – except mine’s electronic of course.  Drum roll please for my new main picture and if you want to see it in action visit www.lindascannell.com.  Let  me know what you think.

Natalie & Jamie’s Honiley Court Hotel wedding { wedding photography in Warwick }

You may have spotted the sneak peek of Natalie and Jamie’s beautiful March wedding a few weeks ago on my Facebook page.   They saw the full set of images when they got back from honeymoon so now it’s time to share a few more photos with the rest of the world.

It was all very calm and organised at Natalie’s when I got there to do her bridal preparation pictures, so we even had time to do some pictures in the garden.

And while I was taking Natalie’s photo with her dad, my assistant Sarah was photographing Jamie and his family at the wedding venue, the Honiley Court Hotel between Kenilworth and Warwick.  Here’s Jamie with his mum.

I loved the  Cadbury’s inspired cream and purple theme.

The hotel had the red carpet out for Natalie’s arrival in a sparkling white Range Rover.  Doesn’t she look radiant.

And while Natalie was seeing the registrar, Jamie and the guests were waiting in the Warwick Suite.

After the lovely wedding ceremony, Sarah and I took the opportunity to grab some detail shots of the wedding breakfast room while the guests were enjoying the drinks reception.

We took advantage of the dry weather to go outside for a few group photos and bride and groom portraits.  Thanks to Natalie in particular for braving the cold breeze.Wedding portraits in the grounds of the Honiley Court Hotel, Warwickshire | photography by Linda Scannell, female wedding photographer

Thanks to Natalie and Jamie for asking Sarah and I to photograph their wedding day.  It was one of the friendliest weddings we’ve been to and we thoroughly enjoyed it.  Wishing you both a fantastic life together.  Linda x

A day at the races { documentary photography in Warwick }

I’ve been tidying up my files this afternoon to make room for all the lovely new photos from this weekend’s shoots.  I’ve come across a lot of my personal projects from last year that haven’t made it to this blog let alone on my “Photo-a-day” project, which means  I’ve got a lot of catching up to do:-) So here goes with a trip to Warwick races family day last August Bank Holiday.  I love using black and white for documentary photography – colour can sometimes distract from the story somehow

An alternative to a wedding guest book { wedding photography extras }

If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll have seen my customised wedding guest book a few weeks ago.  Well this week I’m showcasing another thing you can do with your engagement or pre-wedding shoot photos – a signing board.  Signing boards are a great alternative to wedding guest books – just choose a photo from your pre-wedding or engagement shoot and I’ll get it finished with a wide white mount so there’s plenty of room for your guests’ special wishes and signatures. It’s all firmly fixed to a 4mm thick back board so it won’t get creased. And you can choose to have it presented in one of my designer frames if you wish or frame it yourself. Prices from £99.

Top tip for signing boards:  Put a soft pencil out for your guests to use to sign your board rather than a pen, then if the champagne makes one of your guests get carried away with what they write, you can always rub it out:-)

Ros’s photo shoot { Business portrait photography in Warwick }

I do a lot of business headshots but I rarely get around to blogging them for some reason.  So, in the spirit of being better at blogging this year, I thought I’d start with this fun business portrait session I did in Warwick for Ros Matthews a few weeks ago.  Ros is an excellent local sports and remedial massage therapist with bases in Warwick and Leamington Spa.   She was keen to get a new avatar for Twitter and LinkedIn but she also wanted some action shots for her website and to illustrate her blog posts.  So one sunny afternoon in March I met up with her at Peak Fitness and we took photos in her treatment room, the gym and over in Priory Park.  Here’s a sample of the images we produced.   If you want to see how she’s used them and find out a bit more about Ros and what she does, check out her website: http://www.spa-remedial.co.uk/.   And if you’d like me to produce some eye-catching contemporary business portraits for you, please get in touch for a chat.
