Light is unquestionably instrumental in photography. As a photographer, I love to put my clients in the best light during my portrait sessions. And the best time for that happens to be… that’s right, early in the morning! While waking up super early for a sunrise might not sound very exciting at first, I have to say it is worth the effort.

In photography, the “golden hour”, sometimes also referred to as the “magic hour”, is a short period after sunrise or just before sunset, when the sun is still low above the horizon, producing soft golden light and long shadows. A Sunset should equally be amazing but to avoid the crowds of tourists in Barcelona, we opted for a sunrise shoot.

Alina is a pro wedding photographer herself, who made this session an easy one for me. All I had to do was focus on my composition and leave the posing with Alina.

I hope you enjoy the beautiful light of this session with Slava & Alina – Ashok

As a wedding photographer, I enjoy meeting new people and photographing couples from different countries and backgrounds. So I was pleased to get an inquiry all the way from China!!! Tan & Judy were visiting Paris, London and also Leicester, but wanting the engagement shoot in Leicester. My initial reaction was: ‘why Leicester? Why not Paris or London? and why me??’ It turned out that this couple Tan & Judy met at Leicester University as students and fell in love. So, Leicester is a special place for them, and sentimental wanting to do their engagement shoot near Leicester University. We started the photo shoot in Leicester’s Victoria Park on a cold morning in December and moved over to the area near Leicester University. After stopping in Costa coffee for a small break, we finally finished the shoot in the city centre.

It was a pleasure to meet this awesome couple, and I was happy to document their engagement photo shoot in Leicester. I hope you like these pictures – Ashok.

Hola amigos! I am happy to share some images from one of my favourite weddings in 2016! A small, sweet and simple wedding in the heart of Barcelona. As a Leicester wedding photographer, I work mostly in and around Leicestershire. This wedding was a special occasion for me as it was the first wedding outside of the U.K and in my favourite City Barcelona!!

Ivan & Desi chose to have a small wedding surrounded by close friends and immediate family. It was a privilege to be part of their special day and to share these pictures with you. Also, I am available for International assignments as long as my flights and hotel are covered. Please see my INVESTMENT page for more detail.

Another Engagement Photography blog! It’s been over ten months since my last blog here. I don’t think it matters what I write here but to say a few words about this pre-wedding shoot: this was shot somewhere in between Spain & Portugal. It was that long ago that I don’t even remember where exactly! But I do remember glorious sunset which is very obvious in the pictures below.

Also, I am happy to say that this couple Efra & Damaris are good friends of mine. Not only are they very photogenic and have great chemistry in front of the camera, but they are also lovely people. I hope you enjoy this Engagement Photography shoot. Adios Amigos!!

Gear: 2 x Nikon D750’s, 3 x prime lenses.

I hope you enjoy this post – Ashok
