Latest Canon SLR Camera

Canon have just announced their latest camera which again follows the trend for including HD video on their SLR models. Compared to the first Canon camera to allow HD video recording the Canon 500D provides several very useful enhancements. In particular it has different HD modes which allow you to shoot at either 720p OR 1080p.

As 720p is still far in excess of the resolution required for current DVD technology this is a very helpful addition that will make shooting for DVD easier. The option on the Canon 5DII is only 1080p or 640x480 which is not sufficient to get DVD quality yet 1080p is overkill for DVD.

The market for HD video on SLR is continuing to develop apace and as I suggested in my first post on this subject last year it is becoming the standard feature for new SLR releases.

Kent Wedding Photography - Feedback St Botolphs Church Northfleet

The weather for Emily & Matthew's wedding at St Botolphs Church in Northfleet was less than ideal with pouring rain but despite these challenges they still loved the photos of their day. Rain may mean certain shots are not possible but it does bring other opportunities for shots. I always make sure I have the full studio lighting with me so in the event of group photos needing to be taken indoors we can still get the shots.

Emily and Matthew said "Thank you again so so much for capturing our day so well and for helping to make it so special for us. If you have any business cards I would be more than happy to pass them out as I know a few people who are getting married soon!"

Wedding Feedback - Bearsted Church and Ferry House Inn, Sheppey

We recently photographed Daniel and Tamsin's wedding at Bearsted Church followed by the reception at Ferry House Inn on the Isle of Sheppey. Despite some rain as we arrived at the church and again as we left, the sun came out later in the day for some stunning images. We have received some lovely feedback on the images from the CD that is included in our Platinum package. This CD is supplied before we leave in the evening of your wedding and includes a selection of our favourite images from the day. We also sent a few photos by email ready for return from honeymoon.

"We had a lovely honeymoon and really cant stop talking about the wedding. Thank you for all your support. All the photos you have sent so far look fantastic we also love the disk you gave us and much enjoyed sharing it on Sunday with all the guests at the recovery barbecue.

The photos you emailed are stunning , again many thanks for everything you both really made our wedding something we will remember for ever. "

Wedding feedback - Little Silver Hotel Tenterden

We always love to hear from couples once they receive their proof wedding photos from us. We recently photographed Gina and Alex's wedding at The Little Silver Hotel in Tenterden. It was a bright sunny day which creates challenging conditions for photography. As with most of our packages we include coverage of the bridal preparations along with the groomsmen getting ready by using two photographers.

Gina says "I received the disc yesterday, thanks very much. We'll be in touch about which photos we want for our album, but i just wanted to thank you as they are all wonderful! I'll have trouble choosing just 20 for the album!"

The Little Silver is a great wedding venue with the magnificent Kent Hall available for your reception in a secluded garden setting. We have photographed a number of weddings there and always find Oliver and his team provide an excellent service.

This is the gazebo in the gardens where the marriage ceremony takes place.
