Recently photographed Rich and Rebecca's Wedding on the 25th August 2007. The week before the wedding was one of the coldest and wettest weeks in years. We were all relieved as the sun came out on Saturday morning and the whole day was bathed in beautiful sunshine. It wasn't difficult capturing the emotion of this couple, and the day, as it was very relaxed and everyone so friendly. They even had a helicopter to transport them from the ceremony to the reception, what a way to arrive! Richard is a camera operator in Film and TV so the pressure was on to make the pictures of their day filmic and to choose my settings correctly. Was a tough day but got some great shots of the easy going couple.
I've been working in the film industry for 10 years now. First film was, 'The Mummy', back in 1998. Then onto 'Gladiator'. My full list is on www.imdb.com. I consider myself very lucky with the projects I've been involved in and the people I've worked with. As a kid watching the credits roll up on some of my favourite films I never thought I would one day have my name up there too. It has been an incredible journey so far and can't wait to share it with my daughter. Okay, that's a short history.
I am still in the film industry but also starting my own photography company. My collection varies from 2 times World Champion Boxers, to Baby Elephants in Sri Lanka. I also do Wedding Photography both reportage and traditional. If you are interested in hiring me please e-mail me for introduction, ideas and prices. burgess.ch1@gmail.com
