It was a privilege to be asked to capture the day for Jessica & Damien. The story behind how they convinced me to photograph their wedding is a story for another day…

The weather was hot and the flys were annoying, but thats pretty normal for these types of shots

Continuing the tradition I started back in 2010, I head out to the same spot each New Years Day evening to photograph the sunset. 

In the last few years I have had some fantastic sunsets to photograph, but this year it wasn't so great. It was overcast, dull and the colours were flat. I managed to get a few shots I was happy with, and experimented with a few new techniques, including Time Lapse Video.

Jess and Damien's pre wedding photo session. I can't wait to photograph these guys wedding!

I started this small tradition back in 2010, and for the last 4 years i have gone back to the same location for a sunset shoot on New Years day. The location itself isn't very spectacular, but I have been lucky with great sunsets so far, and 2013 was no exception.
This year i was lucky enough to have some company with me for the shoot, and hopefully that is a tradition that can also continue.

When i had a camera club competition coming up with the theme "Urban Decay" this place instantly came to mind.
I asked the owner for permission, and set abou trying to capture "Urban Decay" within a pub that had partially burned down 4 years earlier.
I have a few more photos ready for a good HDR program, but these will follow soon
Enjoy!
