Ashley Loh and Chad Mumm were married at Sodo Park in Seattle on August 20th this year. They were photographed by Laurel McConnell.

Ashley’s style was romantic, she had her grandmother’s broach re-purposed into a handmade birdcage veil and also wore a really stylish silk belt. And Chad was very James Bond in his tux! The venue was beautiful and historic – set in the heart of the industrial district. Their decor was romantic yet rustic, with herbs for the boutonnieres and eucalyptus candles scenting the room. They even had signature cocktails concocted just for them by a well known New York cocktail maker.

Here are a few layouts from the 14x10H Duo sample album created by Laurel.

Lauren and Colin were photographed by Leah Kua at a location that is very special to them – their family property in Kurrajong, New South Wales, Australia. This was their beloved engagement session in preparation for their wedding this year on December 9. They chose a 10×7 Duo to showcase their favourite beloved images as a guest book. This book will eventually become a set, along with their Queensberry wedding album.

“Beloved sessions are so incredibly close to my heart as an artist” Leah says, “they are so unique because they capture and celebrate the true beauty and uniqueness of a couples relationship. As their family grows and changes Lauren and Colin may move away from here some day and I was so excited to have not only their relationship captured, but their lives, their gorgeous daughter Grace and their sweet little dog Angel (who they made sure to include as well).”

Here are a few layouts from their guest book album.

The images in this Press Album are by photographer James Yeats-Brown, and all were taken on an iPhone using the Hipstamatic app.

“I realise there’s a bit of a debate brewing over this approach” says James, “but to me a photo is a photo – it has to stand on merit regardless of the means of capture – and if it works in a Queensberry then so much the better! More and more of my clients now own professional grade cameras themselves and I wanted to create something to demonstrate that interesting imagery isn’t just a product of expensive kit. So, although this started as a fun personal project it’s proving to be a great sample book and a talking point for prospective customers too. I really wanted to see if it was possible and I am now looking forward to doing an all-portrait version.”

Can’t wait to see the portrait album!

Sharon and Dave were married on an early spring afternoon at the beautiful location of Jonah’s Whale Beach in Sydney’s famously picturesque Northern Beaches.

Their photographer Luke Butterly from LB Photography says that “as a couple they’re very easy going and the wedding was happy and laid back. The bride has a beautiful way about her which comes through in the photographs, her dress was very elegant and understated which suited her perfectly and set the tone for the whole event.

We chose the pool area at Palm beach for the wedding photography and then went to Pittwater for sunset, where on a late Friday afternoon we had the area to ourselves for a beautiful intimate photo shoot, before heading back to Jonahs for the reception with the other guests.

I think part of being a photographer is about knowing when to shoot and when to stand back building a relationship with the couple so that they feel comfortable with you being around them and trust that you can get those real and natural shots without forcing anything. This is certainly the way that Sharon, Dave and I worked together.

We chose a digital flushmount 14x10H album for it’s simplicity and elegant design. Using a white background complemented the afternoon’s subdued colours of the beach wedding. The Queensberry album is exquisitely designed but is in keeping with the couple’s elegant and understated personality, whilst still leaving the photographs to speak for themselves.”

Thomas & Rachael were married on the 19^th June 2010 at St David’s Cathedral, Pembrokeshire, Wales. Their photographer, Ross Grieve says that ”St David’s Cathedral is a stunning setting to start an unforgettable day. From St David’s we made our way back to Pointz Castle, Rachael’s family farm, where a huge marquee and everything you could wish for was in the middle of a paddock with the most stunning view. It was the sort of location that did just take your breath away.

Rachael in her flowing dress was perfect for images on the cliff tops and Thomas just looked so proud.”

Here are a few layouts from their 18x10H Duo album.

Shwetha and Matt were married on July 2, 2011 at the Springfield Country Club in a traditional Christian service. To complete their ‘tale of two cities’, they are also heading to India in November for a Hindu wedding ceremony.

They were photographed by Michelle Lindsay Photography – and here’s what Michelle said about their wedding day.

“I think what I love the most about Shwetha and Matt is how easy going they are. They love to laugh, which makes being around them extremely comfortable. Since Shwetha lived in NYC, we hadn’t been able to do an engagement session so the wedding day was their first time in front of the camera – they were amazing together. In all of 2 minutes I had my favorite images from the wedding day. Their ease with one another just made them look so incredibly happy in the photos!

The most memorable part of the day was by far their first dance. They did a choreographed dance that included multiple lifts and twirls. It was pretty amazing and I could tell how hard they had practiced. They absolutely nailed it and I could tell like everything else they do in life, they had fun with it.”

Here are a few layouts from their 15x12V Duo album.

Here’s a beautiful press book of a collection of landscapes and seascapes on the West Coast of Scotland, photographed by Simon Mark Whitten of Firehorse Photography.

Simon say’s “the images were a few snaps that I took (mainly with a compact camera) on holiday recently for a few days with my family!”

Those ‘few snaps’ look absoloutely stunning in black and white, printed on Queensberry’s Pearl Metallic paper stock.

Take a look at a few layouts.
