Derbyshire - Nottinghamshire International Award Winning Wedding Photographer Paul Deverill

Fawsley Hall Wedding in Northamptonshire

2011-09-06T09:41:00.005+01:00

Claire & Gethin
Again what a wonderful couple and venue, although it rained at the beginning of the ceremony we managed to dodge the spots and get some great images.
Beautiful people Beautiful Venue and of course a fantastic photographer ( well theres no one else writing this to blow my trumpet).

What do you think! Here are just a few out of 400 images, we have fun shots as well but they don'e really show the venue and the bride and groom.

Wedding Photography is NOT a photo shoot its about the Bride and Groom having a great time with friends and family, all my photographs are taken in a flash! My Groups take 15minutes, you wedding is ready on Monday.

Book a Professional Photographer you will not regret it.

Wedding At Shottle Hall Yesterday

2011-08-14T08:00:00.001+01:00

What a lovely Day with a great couple
Shereen and Ashley got married a Shuttle Hall yesterday we had a relaxing shoot and gave the couple plenty of time with friends and family, which is what the celebration of a wedding day is about, (not a photo shoot as many photographers treat it).
We got some great shots. I suppose after 23 years if I can't do it now I should give up.

The photographs are on the internet and ready for collection. 7.51am Sunday Morning How do I do it! "we live in a world where you can get anything the next day" (and I am too busy to leave it) well its easy really if the images are taken correctly there is nothing to do just add special effects in Photoshop, if the couple don't like the effects they can be ordered without.

Great Day had by all

2011-08-07T17:01:00.002+01:00

Yesterday I had the pleasure of covering a wedding at Hardwick Hall near Teversal a fantastic venue inside it was the darkest you could ever get shooting at 10,000 iso at 3.5-5.6 hand held. The dark was also due to the black sky a thunderstorm came just I had taken the last shots luckily.

The wedding was between Mark and Ip a fantastic couple with guests from around the world.

I have now finished the photographs and put them on the net (550 too many really) just waiting for the couple to see them and I will put some on my post tomorrow, a few good award winners.

Yesterdays wedding of Nadia & Christopher at Hassop Hall in the dark.

2010-12-31T14:58:00.000Z

If you are having a winter wedding always ask to see images that have been taken in the dark!

Here are a few examples of mine, taken very quickly without a tripod.

Wedding and make up thank you

2010-12-16T19:24:00.000Z

Dear Paul sand Helene
We would like to say a big thank you for all you did on our special day.

The photos captured our day perfectly and my make up by Helene was beautiful.

Helenes help and attention to detail throughout the day in making sure my make-up and dress were perfect for the photos added a lovely personal touch.

Thank you again and best wishes for the future.

2010-12-06T15:09:00.003Z

Wedding in The Snow!

A photograph of the bride taken in a very dark area of the Red Lion hotel which would have been impossible a couple of years ago (for those of you who are into photography taken at 10,000 iso)

hen a bit of the latest HD filters added and a Glamour glow, fantastic! what would we do without a great bride and great technology, I'm saying nothing about the photographer.

We will get there!

2010-12-06T13:57:00.000Z

This is the street my bride & groom lives on, on last Saturdays wedding, just to say we will get there no matter what the weather is doing

What makes a good wedding photographer

2010-12-03T17:18:00.018Z

Did you know that most photographer specialise in one subject, the subject they specialise they are usually best at! You should always use a qualified photographer but if you are getting married they should be qualified in wedding photography (which is the hardest).
I am qualified in wedding photography with the QEP. BIPP. SWPP. and the MPA (although I am no longer a member of the MPA)
In the passed I have won awards for every category in photography in fact I have won United Kingdom
Commercial, Under 5's, Pet and Wedding photographer of the year, which means I am a pretty good all- rounder. I have also won BIPP Gold Awards in Landscape and Pets.

What does all this mean to you the customer? well at the end of the day I can take a great photo of just about anything, no matter the weather conditions or light conditions, so you have nothing to worry about from that score.
If you don't like what I do, then I can't help all the qualifications and awards mean nothing!

My advise is use a qualified photographer (by an association not college or university)

Look at a few albums taken at all times of the year (or slide shows)

All photographs are timed, check the timing on a wedding (make sure he doesn't take you away for hours leaving your guests to themselves) (that's unless of course you want that and all photographers are willing to do that)

Make sure your proofs are ready within a reasonable time after the wedding (ours are ready the Monday or Tuesday after the wedding day) usually about a week after you get back from honeymoon is OK.

The photographer must carry professional indemnity insurance.

The trade and insurance companies are inundated with unsatisfactory photographs from wedding photographer or your best mate (who is great with a camera) who isn't your best mate anymore, choose wisely after all anyone can take a photograph.

Can they take 300 photos in focus on a wedding with altering light and weather conditions, the brides late, the groom lost the rings, bride forgot her bouquet, snowing vicar forgot the wedding, car broke down, aunt fell ill in the church, groom drunk, dropped the cake, bridesmaids lost and late who is going to dress the Bride? Sorry I didn't want to upset you but over 22 years all these things have happened, some more than once. A true professional photographer knows how to handle all these things no problem we will make your day go as smooth as silk even if you do have an odd hick-up (and the bride who had no one to dress her, well I did it, in fact I have now done it three times, (my wife says "that proves you are too old if they trust you to do that")

I wish everyone all the best and remember I have done well over one thousand weddings and problems come very occasionally, most people use professional people who all know what they are doing.

If you require any help please give me a call on 07973 392 860

This year I have won 4 Gold Awards (Ian my photographer has won 1 Gold and 2 Bronze on his first 2 entries) and about 40 others have a look at the sideshow at some I have entered and most I have won with.

Whirlowbrook Hall Wedding in the Snow

2010-11-29T10:02:00.002Z

Wow what a day I arrived early due to the weather snow and freezing conditions wedding was at 2.30, I always get to the venue or brides house early to keep things calm an on time. The weather and road conditions were not good when I get to the hall turned in from the road to a slight incline I see a landrover coming broadside towards me, not a good sign!
Its a long drive at Whirlowbook didn't fancy leavings £10,000 of equipment in the car all day, and trying to walk up the path was not good with cameras, any way someone in a me Rangrover took me a up. To my surprise my daughter who owns a 4x4 was already there setting the seat covers up (www.seatsandsashes.com). True professionals snow, ice, rain, blizzards nothing keeps us away.
They managed to clear the drive later although the registra had to walk up and a few others, I fetched my car when my daughter left so I had my equipment at hand.

Tracy and James wedding all went to plan we managed about 50 shots outside but it was cold!

The photographs will be online today but bide and groom need to see them first so keep looking

Newstead Abbey photography - Awards

2010-10-05T16:41:00.004+01:00

Just had some news from the SWPP on the September Awards
I won 6 Awards last month 5 Bronze and 1 Silver, the silver will be rejudged to see if it will make a Gold.

Gold awards take me through to the final at the beginning of next year, I have just won 2 Gold this year up to yet and 2 Silver the rest are Bronze.

Congratulations to my photographer Ian who won a Bronze on his first attempt

This was the Silver Award (September)

Why do I do Awards?

When you have done a job for 21 years you can get a bit to relaxed about it, I use Awards to make me work harder, try to get that shot that is a little unusual with the best quality. It just lets the new photographers know I am still here and ahead of the game.

Book Paul Deverill winner of over 540 Awards and see what we can do for you, on your special day.

Make up thank you

2010-10-04T06:23:00.003+01:00
