Tell us a little about yourself?

My name is Barney Walters, and besides photography my passions are skiing, F1 racing, Apple products and above all, travelling the world.

How did you get into wedding photography?

I have been a wedding photographer for just over 2 years, I starting shooting weddings after I met another photographer at a wedding of one of my relatives. We talked and it went from there…

Wedding Photography at Leigh Court | Bristol Photographer | Cornwall

After publishing my last wedding blog of Chris & Kate’s wedding, I felt that I probably posted too many ‘posed’ pictures. I use the term ‘posed’ loosely because the only set up part is a mere suggestion, the rest is down to the couple. None the less, I have decided to insure this week that I choose a fair selection and reflect my ‘non-posed’ style with the odd ‘posed’ picture of the couple where convenient.

I recently sat down and flicked through a recent wedding I photographed and well over 80% of the final pictures given to the couple had very little involvement from myself. A good photographer and friend of mine once said ‘all I do, is make what you do, look good’ and I feel this is fitting for what I am trying to say. Therefore less than 20% of the pictures my clients receive are ‘posed’, obviously this would vary slightly depending on the communication I receive from the couple and what is planned with them for the day. However the principle remains.

Anyway, without any further distraction from the picture content here, these are a few pictures from a wedding last weekend of Greg & Jen at Leigh Court (http://www.leighcourt.co.uk) near Bristol. The mix of French and English quests (Greg being French born) was a great laugh, especially when it came to the multi linguistic speeches and a challenge during the group pictures.

Rill Estate Wedding Photographer | Devon Wedding Photography

Here are a few pictures from the wedding of Chris & Kate a few weeks ago, the weather was probably one of the most unsettled his year so far, however the odd shower during mid morning and early afternoon led to a largely clear late afternoon and evening. Both the ceremony and reception were held at Rill Estate (http://www.rillestate.co.uk/home/)

Chris & Kate were very energetic and a special mention to Kate who had to navigate herself in a very large dress. They had a great group of young friends that certainly brought the afternoon and evening alive.

I am enjoying clean and crisp images in either Black & White or a Sepia style at the moment, especially when it comes to the few minutes of posed pictures in the day, most of the set-ups of which are shown here. My so called ‘fly on the wall’ approach is still very much evident for the majority of the day.

I photographed this wedding alongside Fine Art Devon Wedding Photographer Andy Green at www.harreraimages.co.uk.

aftermath of Irene

Last week, the news of a ruff north coast in Cornwall and Devon reached me and so on Monday evening I travelled down to Watergate Bay near Newquay, arriving just after low tide at 18:30 hrs. Much to my personal disappointment the 12 foot promised was not quite realised, however during the following few hours I was there, a few rather large waves took me by surprise, one of which nearly engulfed my camera and tripod, luckily and not so luckily for my initial ideas, the waves were crashing a fair way off shore.

Italy on an iPhone | Wedding Photographer in Italy

I have been meaning to blog some of my travel pictures for a while, as some of you may know (previous blog post) I went travelling with just a 35mm Canon 1N and my iPhone. I did take a few pieces of clothing as well, but not a lot else, hand luggage only. I still need to scan in my negatives from the film but I thought I would get some of my iPhone pictures up.

The two weeks I spent in Italy, led me to shoot 12 rolls of 35mm and just shy of 600 iPhone pictures. Below is a selection of the final 75 frames that are my keepers from my iPhone. I not only used the same application, ‘Hipstimatic’, for the duration of the trip, but also shot every frame in exactly the same settings. I love the results, especially when you reach in your pocket and not a single person takes any notice of you. However they may think I am a bit of an idiot when they look down and see I have a large 35mm DSLR around my waist and am choosing to use an iPhone. Amateur!

Anyway here are a few of my pics from Rome, Venice, Pisa, Florence, Pompeii and Sorrento.
