Blog

A page of my own with examples of work from commissions and weddings as well as images that I've made for myself. I will try to keep things reasonably up to date and intend to explain how I've taken a particular photograph, it's about composition lighting and expression. I hope that the page will prove useful and of interest. I'd welcome any feedback, comments or questions that you may have. Drop me a mail at jeremy@imageorchard.co.uk

Or you can follow me on facebook where I will be posting many more photographs from recent weddings, there's a plugin to the right which will take you to my Jeremy Eastaugh Wedding Photography page on facebook, do let me know if you like my work!

The Video

At last! I've put a video of recent images on my home page, take a look at my Warwickshire Wedding Photographer Video

Wedding Photographer at Kenilworth Castle

Rachel and Steven had already married stateside but came over for a small celebration with family members unable to travel. Splendid weather for a memorable afternoon in Kenilworth's historic castle grounds. I really like this semi formal group

Wedding Photographer at Stoneleigh Abbey

Kate and Honore chose Stoneleigh Abbey for their reception having married at Kate's church St Nicholas, Warwick. Stoneleigh is especially grand with state rooms and cellar bar for the evening. We find them pictured above outside the rather grand main entrance with their wedding car and chauffeur

Honore is from Holland so he'd brought over a fair number of his Dutch relatives to be impressed by Stoneleigh's grandeur and his beautiful bride

Kate is pictured here above the Avon, especially dirveted to nring the river closer to the house by Lord Leigh's landscapers. It's an overcast day so we've added some light with the hand held Lowel iLight. Honore, left, didn't need any light. St Nicholas Warwick was being renovated and huge sheet of galvanised corrugated steel is a perfect reflector

Congratulations Rachel and Tom

Tom with his groomsmen at St Nicholas Church Kenilworth make the image above. Christian Gibb closed his salon in Kenilworth for the first time ever so that Rachel and her bridesmaids could ready for Rachel and Tom's big day, and who ever said that group photographs were boring?. Watch this space for more images soon!

Summer has arrived!

Hasn't the weather been wonderful? Tom and his groomsmen certainly think so as they settle down, in Leamington's Victoria Park

His bride Cathy is gorgeous in the sun when we take the bridal portraits later in the day

The couple married at Leamington's Emmanuel Church in Heath Terrace. High tea in the church was followed by a splending reception at the Windmill Village in Allesley

The Holiday Inn

Gem and Nick chose to marry at St Johns Kenilworth before a splendid reception at Kenilworth's Holiday Inn. It was cold, dark and wet outside so we set the speedlights up for some portraiture indoors

Here to the left in the restaurant where I've borrowed the Damian Lovegrove technique described below, there's no grid on the back light and I've not used any coloured gels either, I think that it works all the same

Winter Weddings

January and a rather stunning Alex arrives at St Nicholas Church Kenilworth

A wedding in the snow at the Menzies Welcombe Hotel Stratford. The wedding car couldn't make it so poor old Rob had to borrow his brother in law's four wheel drive Porsche. Many thanks to Rob and his beautiful bride Sam for braving the elements and coming out in freezing conditions for some memorable wedding photographs. The sun came out to provide us with some gorgeous out of focus backgrounds, I've used one for the image on my home page

We had a clear sky for the evening and I was able to capture the image left of the hotel's entrance, tripod needed and yes, the sky is for real

Guest Photography

Most guests take their camera to weddings now, including me! I captured Jonathan's expression (above, left) as Rachel walked up the aisle at Coventry's Christian Life Ministries Church. The three others seem rather stuck too. I'm using my Canon Powershot S95, ISO 3,200, f5.6 at 1/25s, handheld. Adobe Lightroom has taken care of the noise and Canon's auto white balance would appear to be spot on, I'll sit with the congregation more often

Ragley Hall

A grand affair for Lucy and James at Ragley Hall. I've recently invested in a 16mm fisheye, held high on my monopod we've caught the entire dining room above

Snowy Dunchurch

I thought that I'd add a picture of a rather frozen Dunchurch Park near Rugby, you may be concerned about your Winter Wedding. It's minus 5 and your wedding photographer is going to get his fingers frozen off, but there will be some stunning images!

And below the same view this spring
