That's a great photo!

“Great shot! What camera was that?"

It's not down to the camera you use.

I am sure you’ve heard this before, but contrary to popular belief, the camera doesn’t make the image. YOU do. You don’t need to upgrade your equipment just to run with the big dogs, and top-of-the-line gear isn’t carte blanche to the photographer’s Hall of Fame. So be proud to carry your favorite camera into the field. As long as you know what all the buttons do and have a grasp of fundamental principles, you’ve got everything you need to take an awesome photo—like the above shot, taken with a Canon M3, fixed 22mm lens, point-and-shoot.

Here are a few more I did.

This shot is with the official photographer taking a posed photo of the wedding couple.

The bride lies on the lawn next to the pageboy at a relaxing wedding reception in Durham. Relaxing natural weddings are great to photograph when the bride is open to fun ideas from the wedding photographer. You also capture different looking photos of the wedding day.

Posed wedding photography

It's great covering a wedding with candid photos but also I love to take some posed photos too. This photograph of the wedding couple was posed outside the Sporting Lodge in Middlesbrough.
