Leicester Wedding Photographer

Leicestershire Wedding Photography

I don’t often talk about wedding photography, I did it many years ago and really enjoyed it. Sadly the long weekend’s were taking time away from my young daughter, which is why I moved into headshot/portrait and corporate photography in 2018.

I still shoot the odd wedding, mainly friends and colleagues.

My wedding page is still very much active, Pete Martin Weddings

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing one of my old school friends weddings, in my home village of Broughton Astley.

My approach is mainly candid, I only really step in when needed, and If i see a great shot that needs a little help along the way!

Here are a few images from the day.

Wow, I've not Blogged in a while!! Time for Cake, and a little personal project

An hour in the life of a professional baker.

A Busy Leicester Photographer

So lots have changed, expect a few blogs to come out very soon!

Thursday this week after my BNI Central meeting I headed over to Desford to meet Tracey, of Iced By Tracey. Tracey was a visitor a few weeks ago at BNI and we had a little chat. I checked out her website and Instagram and was impressed, some of the most beautiful looking cakes I’d seen, and I love cake!

A few emails were exchanged and we agreed a time when i could go over to her house and document a fairly typical hour in the like of a baker, a very talented baker.

This little shoot would be a personal project for me. I’m going to set myself a few of these throughout the year, they will be something different, something that pushes me to think and work differently.

Camera gear, i used the trusty Canon 5dmk4, Canon 50mm 1.2L, 100m 2.8L Macro, Sigma Art 35mm 1.4. Most images were shot using available light, some shots i added in a little extra flash through a softbox.

I was lucky to see the entire process of cupcake creation, and it was pretty different to when I make cupcakes with my 5yr old daughter Callie.

While I was sorting through the photos to edit, I decided to create a very short slideshow. This would be as well as the usual digital files which i will deliver.

Let me know what you think!
