Even at school I was interested in photography and like most boys - cars. So I loved going to see car rallys and trying to get shots with my little camera. The I moved to SLRS and began to take people and landscapes (they did not move as quickly).
But it was really just a hobby until I got asked to cover a relatives wedding. That then led to being asked to do some others and it has progressed over the years from there . I now cover weddings and portraits as well as having a decent portfolio of Fine Art Landscapes.
All the information is available on my website www.colinturtle.co.uk
I live near Ballymena, Northern Ireland though I am happy to take work throught N.Ireland and beyond.
A wedding is a unique event and every wedding id different .It is a family day and all about the Bride and Groom so I try and make the photographic experience fun and enjoyable for you and your guests. So while a bit of structure is essential to ensure that your get the pictures you want I try and work in a fun and relaxed style and not to take too long. I also try and blend in a lot and take those candid shots that people are often not aware of. The result is a mix of photographs that capture the flow and emotion of your day.
Your albums can be either a traditional type album or one of the modern 'Storybook' style albums however in either case I design each album individually
so that every wedding album is unique.

I am a qualified member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP) and am fully insured.
I also love doing portraiture shots particularly 'lifestyle photography' sessions . This is where we go out on location and take a series photographs in a fun an relaxed manner . These are particularly effective for children where the formaility of a studio can ne a bit intimidating. Let them loos in the park or a woodland setting and they can have a ball resulting in some great images. Colour or the classic Black and white is your choice.
I also have a studion wher eI can undertake classioc portrait shots.
We all love to get out in the country and I love nothing more than heading off with the camer and tripod for some Landscape shots , the weather often does not accommodate. But when you get the right lighting and conditions the rewards can be some stunning fine art landscapes.

Murphy's Law states 'Anything that can go wrong will go wrong' ...Now it is very unlikely that this is actually the case .However it is worth bearing in mind that there is a chance that something will go wrong at some point . The important thing is top relax and enjoy the whole day...there is nothing that can be done at this stage to change anything so dont worry about it. If someone forgets their lines or one of your flowergirls etc does not want to wear the dress simply take it with a smile and enjoy the day.
The weather can rarely be depended on but your photographer shoudl be able to get great shots whatever the weather and no-one can control the weather.

Weddings - Getting Ready
One of the things that is becoming more popular these days is photographs of the bride getting ready at home before the wedding.
While the thought of a photorapher being around before she has her make-up and hair done fills some brides with absolute terror
this does give your photographer the chance to grab some great candid shots and set the scene for the day.
It is your choice whether or not you wanty the photographer for this and also at what stage you feel happy for him to see you.
However it is worth noting that this is not always feasible as your photographer also has to get to the venue for pics of the groom etc.
Your Wedding Photographer will be able to discuss all this with you and also the timings etc. so that you get the shost you wish but without any intrusion.
It is worthwhile having these conversations as it avoids any embarassing situations for either of you.
The following are some of the shots that help to set the scene
