Oakham Castle Wedding

-

Last month I had my second wedding gig! 

I travelled to the lovely town of Oakham for Ria and Mike's big day. The ceremony took place at a fantastic venue called Oakham castle, and the reception was held a stones throw away at Victoria Hall.

I was so much more relaxed at this wedding, I think just shooting one wedding previously made a big difference to my confidence. There are still so many things I need to learn and so many aspects I want to improve on, but I think this is part of being a creative, you never want to stop improving.
Neither weddings I have shot are for couples that I knew, not even through friends, so having these guys put their trust in me is a huge thing! 
I got this latest wedding job because I am Vegan... really! I posted a link to my website on a Vegan FB group a little while back and this is what happened. Vegan wedding catering all round!
(Yes, the cake was to die for).

I drove up to Oakham from Kenilworth on the morning of the wedding (roughly 1 hour 30 minutes), so It was pretty tiring and a very full-on day, but it was SO worth it. I really enjoyed the "getting ready" shots as I didn't do much of these photos for the last wedding.
The best part was Oakham Castle, it was so fab to shoot at, so simple but just lovely, to be honest it is is just my kind of venue. 

The vibe of the whole day was great, really relaxed and fun! The bride and groom are a fantastic couple, they are really friendly and down-to-earth. I wish them all the happiness for the future and I am so glad to have been a part of their day. 

See a snap shot of the day below, these are just a handful of the images I took.

If anyone is interested in booking me as their wedding photographer then please get in touch :)

So since my last post i have not taken any photos as intended...well not outside/landscape images like i wanted to do. The weather has been horrible, rainy and no frost like i hoped for! However that is no excuse. The only images i have really taken are some shots at my house just playing around with my Macro lens, see below the photo of one of my many owls that are scattered around my house! One of my many, many, many owls!  I have been pretty busy with Xmas, visiting family and chilling out before i have to go back to work. Craig and I have been pretty geeky this Christmas break, mostly playing games, either Borderlands 2 on the Xbox, or our new LOTRs role playing card game which my brother bought us for Christmas! My Violin i had for Christmas! I have recently had to take one of my rats to the vets and i am keeping a close on eye on her, which is quite difficult with four rats whom are all crazy in their own little ways! The two older ones Hermion...

Animals in laboratories

Back in April I took part in the amazing march through Birmingham city centre for the"World day for animals in laboratories". So many people turned up, the majority of people had either made signs, had leaflets to hand or even dressed up in lab coats stained in blood. This was the first big protest I had been on and I felt quite emotional at times, it was such an intense day where fellow animal right activists were shouting the same heart felt chants to the city of Birmingham.  Animal testing can be a very touchy subject, of course this is understandable. We all know someone who has had to suffer through awful diseases such as cancer or heart disease, and like everyone else I wish that did not have to happen, but how is it right to push all that pain, terror and torture onto innocent, voiceless and helpless beings? To disagree and speak out about animal testing does not mean we do not want progression to be made, for people to get better or for scientific research to...

My last post but one was from 2014, since then i have still continued with my photography, mainly taking snaps of nature and landscapes.  I will try and do a fair few posts of my favourite or most interesting images from the last few years, this way i can fill in the gaps on my photography journey.  However, if you want to go and check out all my work now you can go to my Flickr page where i post pretty much everything...  Flickr My official website needs a bit of an update to include my Instagram and Blog links and a shuffle round of images but you can still give it a look...  CharlotteChapmanPhotography The first set of images below are taken in Cuba (2015), i thought it would be good place to start as it is where i got married! It is a beautiful place and I am glad we chose to get married there.  (Varadero beach)  (Outside out hotel room in Varadero)   (View from a cafe in Havana)  (Street cat in ...
