Portrait Photography at Avalon Shoreditch, London | Gavin Conlan Essex Wedding & Portrait Photographer | www.gavinconlan.com | www.londonspeedlitescene.co.uk

This was my second meet up with the awesome LSS (London Speedlite Scene) group this time at the trendy Avalon bar in Shoreditch, London.  The meet up was massive loads of photographers/models/make up artists all in one place it was really hard not to get carried away with it all.  

I really had to limit myself with what I wanted to shoot otherwise I'd of had months of processing work to do afterwards, but there were so many models I didn't get the opportunity to work with but hopefully that chance will come on future meet ups.... 

All the models were again provided by Elect Model Management and MUA's by Intense Make-up Artists both agencies were formed out of London Speedlite Scene

Portrait Photography at Ingatestone Hall, Essex www.gavinconlan.com | www.londonspeedlitescene.co.uk

A couple of weeks ago I attended my first London Speedlite Scene meet up, I've followed the group for a while now on facebook and they put together fantastic monthly meet ups.  The Ingatestone Hall meet up was perfect for me being fairly close to where I live and by the fact that I've wanted to do a shoot there for a long time.

I honestly didn't know what to expect from the day I went there with a completely open mind and my god it was awesome, everyone made me feel really welcome and it was such a great laugh.  The LSS put so much effort into these meet ups and whether your a photographer, model or Make Up Artist/Stylist you get so much out of it - everyone was awesome.... 

A HUGE thank you to all the models and make up artists because without all your efforts nothing would be possible. The models were provided by Elect Model Management and MUA's by Intense Make-up Artists both agencies formed out of the London Speedlite Scene, please check out the links below;

Anna and Tom's Wedding at Maidens Barn, Essex | www.gavinconlan.com

Anna and Tom's Wedding is my last of 2011 and what a way to end the year, their day was amazing and so much fun.  It's great being a photographer when your surrounded by fun people, it makes my job so much easier as we just laugh our way through the day.  

It was the first time I'd shot a wedding at Maidens Barn and I must say it's a perfect venue which I'd totally recommend - I even managed to set up my own studio space in the balcony area.  There were so many highlights for me with the main one being.... (well you'll just have to watch their slideshow - towards the end) I don't want to spoil the surprise for those that didn't attend.

I also want to give a shout to the playlist for the evening, so many classic songs one of best DJ sets I've ever heard.... and to Anna for making their wedding cake I hope the images do it justice because it looked beautiful on the day.

You'll see below I've posted a small selection of images from their day and below the images you'll find their online slideshow.  

I really hope you enjoy viewing their pictures and feel free to leave a nice comment (it'll make my day :) ....

now enjoy their personal slideshow.....
