Paul Saxby, one of the UK`s most sought after Wedding Photographers is announcing a
fantastic new competition.

Up to 8 hours of photography on the wedding day
An amazing 20 page digital wedding album containing up to 60 images.

Paul has a style all of his own and creates images that will tell the real story of your wedding. Paul never uses a template to work to, so every single wedding is treated differently and you know your wedding album will be totally unique.

Passionate about his photography, Paul never tires of pushing the boundaries of new ideas, using techniques from photojournalism, commercial, fashion and boudoir photography to create a a collection of exciting,yet intimate and personal images you will treasure for a lifetime.

Not all wedding albums are the same. Paul uses only the best suppliers to source his products and is always on the look out for new and exciting products. Paul even creates his own hand made products for some of his more exclusive clients.
This opportunity should not be missed. Paul gets more than 60 wedding enquiries a year, yet only shoots 14 weddings each season which means Paul can concentrate on giving his clients the experience they deserve. Paul has decided not to shoot every wedding that comes his way so that he only gets to work with clients that he knows will appreciate what he does. Every client has at least two free consultations before Paul agrees to work with them so that both parties fully understand what each one wants from the other.

This year, Paul has decided to add one more wedding to his already busy schedule. One happy couple will win nearly £1500 worth of wedding photography. That couple could be you and your partner. This means that you could use the money you save on your photography and put it towards something else, like a honeymoon in Mexico, a bigger party at the reception or you could even use it towards even more photography by upgrading the package and just paying the difference.

Paul has also decided to give away two further prizes. One lucky couple will win a voucher worth £500 which they can use if they decide to book Paul as their wedding photographer. The final couple will win a £250 voucher which they can use towards their wedding photography.

The competition is easy to enter - to qualify to win this great once in a life time prize, all you have to do is book a simple studio photo shoot for you and your partner and answer a few basic questions about your wedding. The photo shoot requires a £25 creation fee(RRP £165), and includes a mounted 5x7 print. If you are one of the three lucky winning couples, you will get the £25 refunded back to you in addition to your prize.
By entering the competition you will know that you are also helping to care for premature and sick babies who without extra care my suffer permanent injury or may even die. Part of your Creation fee will be donated to Bliss, a charity that cares for sick babies, which we have adopted as one of the three charities we support.

Jonathan and Karen at the Angel and Royal in Grantham

01 January 2010

The last Wedding of 2009 and the first post of 2010

Jonathan and Karen at the Angel and Royal

This was a small and intimate occasion at the beautiful Angel and Royal Hotel in the heart of Grantham. Its a lovely compact location with loads of character, perfect for the smaller wedding and with enough character to make wedding photography a pleasure.

Although small, this wedding was made difficult because I had severely injured my back immediately prior to the wedding, leaving me no time to find a replacement photographer I had to struggle through it. Pumped up with a cocktail of painkillers, a back support, and with the help of my wife Alison I managed to make it through the entire day without too much bother, it was the day after when I really felt it.

Needless to say, between the pair of us, Alison and I managed to get some great wedding photographs that I am really pleased with. Alison got a great image of Alex, Jonathan and Karen`s little boy, crawling under the Registrars table during the exact moment they exchanged rings. His face is a picture.


I was working from behind the Registrar, the Kings Room in the Angel and Royal, is extremely dark and the couple were back lit with a pair of large windows which caused a bit of a headache, but even working at f1.4 the 50mm prime lens managed to contain the flair to an acceptable level, showing why I much prefer to work with prime lenses which handle flair much better than zoom lenses.


Even though I was in some pain, I really enjoyed myself at this wedding. The couple were relaxed and left me too it while they enjoyed their wedding, which is how every wedding should be.

These past few months have been the busiest yet for my photography business. Moving into the new studio and taking on the Emma`s Diary baby photography has meant I have had less time to work on my website and post on the Blog. This year I hope to be able show you more of my work online as my business grows even further.
