Harrogate Photoshoot

On Location with Katie Black


Some great fun was to be had this week in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, which saw the beautiful Katie Black stepping up in front of the camera for our off-camera flash work, resulting in some great portraiture. 

It's been a while since Riff Raff Photography has caught up with Katie, and after spending some time with us in the past, I'm pleased to see some new shots for 2014. 

After starting out at one of Harrogate towns multi story car parks, we managed to capture some great dynamics with the background lit up in a dark blue whilst capturing the light perfectly out front. Katie was fantastic and knew exactly how to work the camera, providing some great initial photos.

Once we'd warmed up, we moved on to the nearby Cheltenham Road to find our next shot. I initially saw this one before Katie arrived and knew that it had to be included in the album. What struck me most was the rusted blue doorway surrounded by texture brickwork which was definitely in need of a lick of paint. Although clearly in need of work, this made for a great photo and the results are outstanding! 

The next shot was up and this saw us moving on to find a multitude of different colours to play with, and after some playing around, the amazing photos just kept coming. This time with modern array of bricks and an old, green doorway, we managed to capture some fantastic dynamic shots. Katie, still looking natural in front of the camera, brought the camera alive and the photos speak volumes of this. 

For our final shots, we used some natural lighting on a long lens. I have to say that the last shot is one of my favourites from the whole album. Katie's incredible blue eyes just melt the camera. 

To say I'm happy with the results is an understatement, why not have a look for yourself and leave a comment?

Keep an eye out for some more work appearing on the blog!

Get yourself ready for the wedding booking rush!!

YORKSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | YORKSHIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

I just love my work and everything that I do, being with a bride and groom on their wedding day is the most magical thing to do. I am lucky enough to photograph weddings at amazing wedding venues throughout Yorkshire and across the UK. If I add my Romantic Italian Weddings in Italy with Marco then I just smile even more! I put everything into a wedding day, relaxed style, there all day, just smile and make everyone happy! It is always nice to receive amazing feedback from the brides friends and family, I like to think I break the mould from the traditional image of a stressy wedding photographer! This makes my work highly recommended by former brides as I always believe a recommendation is the best form of advertising. This makes my work very much in demand and I hate for brides to be recommended to me then find out I am already booked. At this time of year Christmas is always on the forefront of every brides mind and weddings get left in the “I will do that after xmas” box. My wedding packages are fully flexible, you can alter the package at any time- so why wait?? If you are planning a wedding and liking my style then why don’t we meet up before xmas? My style is very relaxed, I don’t do pushy sales or super “once in a lifetime” deals, I will let my photography do the selling for me. So if you want amazing wedding photography like the photos below, click on my contact page to drop me an email. It will be a great opportunity to grab a quick coffee and a chat to look through my albums and secure your wedding date.

Richard and Alyson's Wedding- Old Swan Hotel Harrogate

And the great weather continued!!! Richard and Alyson had an amazing wedding day at The Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate. They are a perfect couple who met some years ago then many years later their paths crossed again and here we are at their beautiful wedding.

Alyson's dress was created by the fantastic Curvy Bridal and was a secret to everyone before the big day. Their wedding was like a garden party with all their friends and family enjoying the weather on the hotel lawns. Later into the evening they had a photo booth and the fun shots really started to take shape!

Here are a few photos from the day.
