Chris Taylor Photo Blog bio picture

Welcome...

...and congratulations on finding my blog! This is the place I like to show off my favourite images from recent shoots and share studio news. I think it gives a great flavour of the style of my work as it's updated on a regular basis and always bursting with fresh, new images!

I'm based in Norfolk and shoot contemporary weddings and family lifestyle portraiture all over Norfolk and East Anglia. I like to keep my work elegant and as natural as possible, with weddings I aim to tell the story of the day through a combination of candid, photojournalistic story-telling images and beautiful portraiture.

Anyway, that's enough waffle, have a look at some shots, just scroll down, I always love receiving comments so please let me know what you think using the blog comments function...

Ellie & Dominic - a wedding at Cley Mill

My first wedding of the year and it was a cold one!

Ellie & Dominic chose the beautiful Cley Mill for their wedding and reception venue, they didn’t want any shots of the ceremony itself so we have befores and afters (but no ‘durings’!) - it may have been bitterly cold and blowing a string North Westerly but the sun was shining and we had a great sunset to round off the coverage.

For the full gallery of shots from Ellie & Dom’s wedding at Cley Windmill click here.

And the winner is……

Thank you to everyone that voted in my wedding image of the year competition, we had over 400 votes in the end which was superb (although I wasn’t saying that as I was trying to count them all this morning!)

So without further ado…the phone lines are closed, the votes have been counted and verified and the results of the wedding photo of 2009 are…….

In first place with 32% of the votes is Image number 15 - the photo of Helen & Ollie in the sunset at Sheringham Golf Club.  Helen & Ollie win £50 worth of print credits towards any prints/products with me.

In second place with 29% of the votes is image number 8 - the photo of Vicky & Paul under the veil from their wedding at Caistor Hall.  Vicky & Paul win £30 worth of print credits.


In third place with 22% of the votes is image number 4 - the black & white shot of Kirsty walking with her veil catching the breeze.  Kirsty & Adam win £20 worth of print credits.

Congratulations to all of the winners, commiserations to those not fortunate enough to have reached the top three although honourable mentions should go to  Lyndsey & Dan Gonzalez for getting 9% of the votes for image 12 of Lyndsey under the veil on their beautiful Norfolk wedding day.

Voting now closed for wedding image of the year

The chance to vote for your wedding of the year has now passed - any votes received after 11:59pm 29.01.10 will not be counted.   On Monday I will be removing duplicate votes and adding up the totals - results will be posted here as soon as I have them all tallied up!

Art Exhibition in aid of the RNLI…

Nice surprise to see the below in today’s Eastern Daily Press (well, not a massive surprise obviously as I did the interview and submitted the photos but I didn’t know it was going to be in there today!).

I was most impressed that Richard Batson had managed to construct some sensible sentences from my incoherent rambling in our telephone interview - the sign of a great reporter!

The Party Booth at Voewood

I had the pleasure of photographing a party at Voewood this weekend so I took along what will henceforth be known as ‘The Party Booth’.

The party was being held by Indra (the ‘Duchess of Voewood’) for a very special birthday (I won’t reveal what year you were celebrarting Indra don’t worry!), the theme was Glitter and Glam and everyone threw themselves into the theme with style!

Here’s some shots from the night with a link to the full gallery at the bottom of this blog post….
