KEEP CALM AND GET THE BROLLEY'S OUT ! (July, Summer Weddings)
In true British fashion our summer has had a ton of rain and other weather associated bonuses!
KUDOS to all our Brides & Grooms this season who have had to endure some utterly atrocious weather, we've had it all; gale force winds, torrential rain and even some hail at one point.
If you do plan to have your wedding in the UK you need to take the British weather into account and be able to adapt your wedding plans incase of adverse weather. Book a Photographer whose camera equipment can still function without risk of failure and who has backup bodies and lenses should the worst happen. Also book a Photographer who isn't afraid of at least doing what you're happy to do i.e. get out amongst the puddles should it come down to it!
At the very least follow the advise of our very own KEEP CALM poster...
Possibly the worst weather this year was for Claire & John on 7th July. Ever seen a soaking wet 5d mk2? I was secretly praying to the Canon Gods that their weather proofed bodies and L-Series lenses are as protected as they say they are. In true British fashion though this fantastic Bride & Groom did keep calm and made the most of it! After all, what can you do? Who want's clear blue skies in their wedding photographs anyway? Especially when you can have some extra dramatic clouds as your backdrop!
Last month (June) Debbie & Jonny had an overly excited north-westerly wind with gusts up to 40-50mph with a splash of rain! Again, this amazing couple just dealt with it! Our standard issue white brolley's wouldn't have done us much good here but the stormy clouds did give us some epic photo opportunities!
Our last wedding (before we broke to prepare for the arrival of our first baby, due on 28th August!) was for Wini & Ajar last weekend. Again wind and rain was on the agenda for the morning but as we arrived at Binham Grange in Somerset the sun showed it's face for a short while!

Queen's College; Taunton's best kept Wedding Venue secret!
Friday 25th May 2012 - Recce for Alona & Mark's Wedding
For
all of the weddings we're booked for we try to recce the venues if
we're not already familiar with them. Sometimes this isn't possible due
to our hectic photography schedules or the distance we travel to shoot
some weddings but being in Taunton meant we could take the opportunity
to scout this gorgeous venue.
Queen's College is a co-educational independent school located in Taunton, the county town of Somerset, England. This stunning Grade II listed building, built by Giles and Gane in 1874, is a symmetrical Tudor Gothic design set in approximately 35 acres of grounds. It is now available for weddings and we're very excited to shoot only their 3rd wedding there!
We arranged to meet up with Lottie Francis, the event's manager for Queen's, who showed Emily & I around. As a former Pupil of Queen's I was familiar with the layout and the rooms that are designated for weddings, which obviously has it's benefits although coming back for business for the first time since leaving felt a bit strange. Being an old building we thought it essential for us to see the venue from a photography point of view - to check lighting, angles and to plan the shoot.
The school is beautiful, and that's not just me being bias. If you're getting married in Somerset and like the look of Queen's College then get in touch with them....and then us to shoot your wedding!

RNLI Charity Ball, Halswell House, Somerset - Saturday 19th May
Saturday 19th May saw us attending a Royal National Lifeboat
Institute (RNLI) Charity Ball at Halswell House in Goathurst, Somerset
organised by some staff from Toolstation Ltd.Part of our brief was for formal photographs as the guests arrived to a champagne reception and later in the evening, after the guests had a chance to sample the bubbly, some more, shall we say…"relaxed" photographs. We took this opportunity to wheel out our BRAND NEW feature...
PhotoBooth!
As the guest's arrived, in all their finery, glitz and glamour a massive queue was forming for photographs, although we actually found that some of them thought they were in the queue for the bar! Guess they must've been a bit miffed when they got to the front. This being said it didn't stop the poses coming thick and fast!
PhotoBooth
was developed as a "bolt-on" for our new 2013-14 Wedding Platinum
Package or as a Stand-Alone feature for Functions or Events. It provides
endless fun and amusement for all who participate. We bring the
equipment and props and you bring the madness! People talk about your
event and how ridiculously fun this feature is for weeks making sure
your event is the talk of the neighbourhood! Trust us, we know! We've had to transfer our entire website to better hosting package to
increase our bandwidth on the website! It's currently going through a
gig A DAY - previous average monthly usage being under 4.5gb, May saw the site scream past 12gb and it was only the 23rd of the month!After your event prints or full-resolution images from the PhotoBooth are ordered separately through our website http://justinkrause.co.uk
If you'd like to know more or to book PhotoBooth for your Event or Function please email: contact@justinkrause.co.uk or CLICK HERE.
