Kerry Morgan Photography bio picture

Welcome to my Blog!

I specialise in photographing weddings, they are pretty much all I shoot.

When I photograph a wedding my aim is to tell a story and to capture all the emotion and atmosphere of the day.  When you look back on your wedding pictures in years to come; I want you to remember how you felt, not just what you looked like.

I hope my blog will give you a chance to see what I'm up to week to week.  Feel free to make comments and let me know what you think!

Wedding Photography Oxford – Tom & Sarah at Queen’s College

Oh my word – where do I start?  After shooting for around 14 hours I have struggled to keep this blog post brief! I was considering putting up a ‘part-one’ and a ‘part-two’ but thought that it would have been too cruel to make Sarah and Tom wait until next week to see ‘part-two’ – so here they are! 

Sarah attended Queen’s College Oxford as a student and knew from the moment Tom proposed in New York that this was where she wanted to marry – it’s a stunning venue with so much scope for photograhy, I hope I get to shoot there again.

I’ve shot many weddings in Oxford and love shooting there.  It’s not without it’s complications.  Oxford College chapels are laid out differently to many others with the congregation facing each other on opposite sides of the room rather than facing towards the front as is traditional.  I was rather unlucky that the man in charge on this occasion refused to let me shoot from the front – which meant me shooting from a side pew.  My good friend and fellow wedding photographer Caroline had asked me a while ago if she could come out with me on a wedding, just to watch.  So knowing she was coming along, I asked her to second shoot during the ceremony so we could at least vary the angle.  It worked very well.

Tom and Sarah had taken my advice early on and employed the skills of the excellent Bernadette at Dream Occasions to help them with their wedding planing.  The couple both have busy lives and this was a great solution -  they told me the decision to hire a planner turned out to be a god-send.  I’ve worked on many weddings over the years with Bernadette and not only is she very organised, she’s also great at design.  The design of Tom and Sarah’s wedding was very personal to them.  They are both big rock/metal fans and a girlie pink, vintage theme just would not have suited them.  Sarah’s colours of red and black were striking and worked really well with the existing red leather chairs in the dining hall.  I thought the personalised M&M’s were very rock ‘n’ roll, as were the table names which were all types of guitars.  Tom is an excellent guitarist and Sarah has also dabbled, so these names were perfect!

So without further ado – here they are!  My day started very early with the boys at the barbers.

Wedding Photography London – Felicia & Delroy

After flying to Spain, driving to France and catching a ferry to the Isle of Wight in recent weeks, it was very nice to be shooting a wedding on my home turf; London.

Felicia and Delroy had planned a wedding in the north of town.  A ceremony at St Ann’s church, followed by a reception at The Grand Palace, Tottenham.

It was a very relaxed affair  and the day was full of laughter and happiness.

Here’s some favourites!
