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!

A Wedding at Cliveden House… Rupalee & Sayan

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 Posted in Weddings

It was the perfect day, a gorgeous couple, amazing weather and a totally stunning venue!  I fell in love with Cliveden House, what a perfect place to shoot.  Lots of variety, beautiful surroundings and staff who could not do enough for you. 

Rupalee and Sayan amazingly organised their wedding in just three weeks.  You’d think with all that stress in the run up to the day, they’d have been a little fraught but I’ve rarely seen two people more happy and relaxed.  Their families and friends were so lovely and I left this wedding with a warm glow in the heart.

It’s a bit of a mega blog post this week –  I’ve wanted to shoot a wedding at Cliveden all my career, so please allow me a bit of photographic indulgence!  I dearly hope it’s not the last time I’m there.

Here’s are my favourites:

wedding at Cliveden House

Not a cloud in the sky over beautiful Cliveden House.

Rupalee’s shoes were had pretty pearl detailing on them.

Something blue.

The bridal bouquet was so soft and delicate – just simple pink roses

Rupalee looked so stunning.  I loved her bird cage veil.

Married!

 

 

Recently I’ve been trying to make my group shots less like a firing line and more like a Vanity Fair spread!  I love the simple, timeless elegance of this picture.

The French Dining Room at Cliveden House.

After the speeches Rupalee and Sayan danced to “Wherever, Whenever, Whatever” by Mitchell

After the couples first dance, the light was still great.  So we took a stroll and took a few pictures to round off a perfect day.

This last shot I think is my favourite – it has so much atmosphere.  I love it.

Congratulations Rupalee & Sayan!

Wedding Photography at Maiden’s Barn, Essex – Rowena & Brian

Monday, February 22, 2010 Posted in Weddings

I seem to have got very lucky at dodging the showery weather recently.  The days before and after Rowena & Brian’s wedding were horrible weather wise but on their day the sun came out and the blue sky rolled in.

When I arrived a Rowena’s the house was a buzz with activity and excitement.  Rowena’s sister Carrie had called up Capitol Radio and the girls were eagerly awaiting a shout out from the station.  Rowena was such a sweetheart, she had prepared me a little snack bag (all Weight Watchers approved) as she knew I was leaving before dinner.  I was really touched by this, as I’m sure in the run up to the big day she had more than enough to think about!  Rowena is a big inspiration to all us brides who are trying to shed a few pounds for our weddings.  Through her dieting and exercising regime over the last year she shed over three stone.  She looked incredible.

Rowena and I had many conversations about the day in the lead up and we had decided to shoot some pictures of her and Brian after the ceremony on the way to the reception.  Ideally she wanted some shots with her church in the background.  I got there early in the morning to scout out locations and I found a really cool spot with a view of the church but which also had the most amazing grasses and reeds.  The downside was that because it had been raining continuously, it was quite muddy.  I explained the situation to Rowena when I arrived at her house and was thrilled to hear she was happy for me to take her wellies along!  We also grabbed an old sheet, so we could lay that down before placing her dress on the ground.  I loved the location and even though we had to make slightly more of an effort to get there, it was well worth it. 

Here are some of my favourite pictures:

 

 

Rowena’s bridesmaids look really glam in their long black gowns, pearls and long black gloves.

Married!

The three best men did really well on the speech – how refreshing to see something funny, well rehearsed and not a slide show in sight – bravo!

Congratulations Rowena & Brian!
