You be the judge

Your best wedding photos probably won’t make it to a magazine … or win any prizes … and the reason isn’t because you’re not Brangelina.

It’s because other people won’t be looking at the pictures through your eyes.

Nigel and Kayla invited Heather and I to their wedding, and I’ve just seen the photos.

What really struck me amongst the hundreds of images – and probably because I work with Nigel and know him so well – were a couple of shots that show the rush of emotion he felt when he saw Kayla walk down the aisle.

I reckon one day someone might look at those pics and think – or say, “Gee Grandad, you really loved her…”

Not every photographer understands that their job is to grab those moments, tell your story and pluck at your heart strings.

Cheers, Ian

PS No, I’m not going to show you!

This is a big day for Queensberry. We’re launching a new look, a new website and a new blog … all today.

We love blogging – we’ve been doing it for two years, to professional photographers – and now we’re looking forward to talking to you.

Who are “you”?

The bride and groom.

A family.

People sharing an occasion of love, connection and pride.

People capturing a special day so they can enjoy, reflect upon and share it forever.

People telling a fairy tale, a story told true.

Because a story told beautifully should be true to you.

You’re the people in the viewfinder that we’ve never met, but in a sense we know … because millions of special moments have passed through this bindery of ours.

But we want to launch this blog with a toast.

Here’s to all who capture that crazy
feeling of love, that forever moment
immortalised in an image
where life stands still
and a story unfolds.

You create the eye’s best work.
Without you the stories don’t get told.

Best wishes to photographers everywhere … and to all the people in their viewfinders.
