Autumn has arrived.

It’s that time of year again where we can start to cosy up and feel the magic of letting things go.

Autumn is our favourite time of the year here at Emotion Picture Photography. We love to decorate the house with pumpkins, spooky things and candles.

We love the turning wheel of the year a time to slow down take stock and be together.

Crisp walks with colourful leaves beneath our feet, cosy cafes and hot drinks.

The time before the Christmas rush.

This year we would love to capture your Autumn moments whether it be in our Autumn studio mini shoots ( please see the link below to book) or out in a beautiful park with autumn leaves dancing around you ( Please contact us at Ian@emotionpicture.co.uk).

Framed in light

The leaves will fall, the days will drift away,

But you and I - we caught the light that day.

A shutter blink, a smile we didn’t pose,

Now lives forever where the memory grows.

Caer Llan - A wedding in a beautiful country house just outside Monmouth

For the first time we had the absolute pleasure to photograph a wedding at the stunning Caer Llan just outside Monmouth. It’s a family run wedding venue set in the heart of the Wye ~Valley.

As a photographer who has had the pleasure of working at many venues, I particularly loved the fact that during the wedding the venue is exclusively yours. This includes all the guest rooms, pool and stunning gardens.

Tips for coming to a cake smash photo shoot

Everyone’s favourite shoot for 1 year old birthdays are our Cake smash shoots. So I thought id give parents and carers a good few tips to prepare.

  1. Prepare the baby: Let your little one try some cake before the shoot so they are comfortable with the taste and texture. Also try feeding them some on your finger during the shoot to encourage them to play with it.

  2. Bring a toy your baby likes so that they have something familiar to play with and can be calming.

  3. Choose a time when your baby is well rested and in a good mood.

  4. Choose a soft moist cake with buttercream icing so it is easy for your little one to get stuck in.

  5. Bring a change of clothes.

  6. Be patient this is very new for your baby.

  7. Not all children will smash the cake but don’t worry we will get lovely pictures anyway.

  8. All our shoots come with a mini family shoot as well.

Mini family shoot and cake smash with all the images in your own personal digital gallery for only £89.00.

A Christmas minis blog

Can you believe it’s that time of the year again?

We are part way through the Christmas mini shoots already and I still can’t believe it myself.

What I love most about our Christmas shoots is seeing families come back year after year, watching the little ones grow up and being part of your Christmas traditions.

Its also lovely to meet new families and begin new traditions.

Our Christmas mini shoots are 15mins long and you can have all the photos fully edited to do whatever you like with. From wall photos to Christmas gifts.

Bring yourselves and your animals, dogs cats anything.

From my family to yours have a very Merry Christmas.

An Autumn engagement shoot

We had the pleasure of photographing the engagement shoot of Anna & Matt in the beautiful autumn sunshine of Bellevue park.

Bellevue park is so perfect for any photoshoot all year round but especially an autumn photoshoot as it has beautiful areas, stunningly colourful leaf fall and a cafe to cosy up in for a cuppa afterwards.

Anna & Matt were amazing to photograph as they bought their own props that made their photographs that little bit more personal and we had such a laugh taking them.

Insole Court

Insole Court is a Grade 2 listed mansion house in the Cardiff suburb of Llandaff with a rich history run by a registered charity, the Insole court trust.

The original family of Insole were pioneering coal-shippers and mine owners, railway men docksmen.

Insole courts restoration is the culmination of 30 years of community campaigning. After decades of uncertainty the once derelict mansion has now opened for the public and beautiful weddings.

What I love most about working weddings at Insole Court is the beautiful historic setting and the intimate family atmosphere. With stunning grounds resulting in beautiful photographs.

Our Weddings at San Ffraed House

Nestled in the Monmouth valley is a grade 2 listed country house amidst a 14 acre grand estate.

San Ffraed House is part of The Old Walls Group and delivers a wonderful wedding experience from start to finish. You and your guests will be treated like royalty from setting your date until you check out the next day.

As a wedding photographer this beautiful venue never offers up a bad view, The light filled ceremony room offers unparalleled views of the beautiful Welsh countryside and lake.

Alternatively the out door terrace has views of the lake and St Brides Church.

An end of summer wedding at Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel & Spa

I have had the pleasure of photographing at the Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel & Spa on numerous occasions.

It is a beautiful wedding venue nestled in the beautiful Welsh countryside with 50 acres of beautiful landscaped grounds. Combining historic charm with modern amenities .

This venue not only provides the happy couple with a perfect wedding day but offers up beautiful locations for stunning wedding photographs making my job just that little bit easier.

I am also able to use the drone to capture the sheer beauty of this stunning location.
