battle of the brides - sky living - 2011


Back in 2011 I was very lucky to have been invited to be one of the photographer's on Sky Living's new reality TV show, Battle of the Brides. We travelled around the UK filming different weddings for different episodes and it was epic!!! I took part in three episodes (three double weddings) at the following venues; Warwick Castle, Fawsley Hall and Hatfield House. I was assigned to one couple while another photographer took care of the other couple. Each of the 'brides' would battle it out before the big day to agree on all of the details in order to win their £25,000 budget. Now, these images are now 'dated' in terms of my portfolio as this was at the beginning of my wedding photography career. I would say my shooting and editing style has changed, along with all the gear I have updated since then which has also improved image quality, but I still love to share them as the weddings were just spectacular! All of the other featured weddings and images on the main wedding page represent my work now, but feel free to check out the images below if you'd like to see what I got up to in 2011 photographing for Sky Living!
