Elegance Media Photography

Hello to all my readers. This blog post will be a tad bit different compared to my normal ones as it’s not fiction! The other day I was online checking out the photography page of a very talented photographer and I felt compelled to write a review of his business.

Recently, July 2012 to be exact,  I attended a friend’s wedding and like all weddings there was a lot going on. One of the most important logistics of a wedding is having an exceptional photographer. I’m sure you can all agree on how endearing it is to capture the special moments on our very special day to treasure for the rest of our lives. Having a collection of these moments to look back on is absolutely priceless and even more so when the emotions taking place speak out through the images. Unfortunately not all photographers are gifted with this art; however I must say Photographer Amin Islam does an impeccable job in emulating this feat.

The wedding photographer at the wedding, Amin Islam, seemed to know exactly what he was doing. I was awed by how involved and meticulous he was with all his shots. Normally at weddings I've attended it’s the usual bride, groom, and family lined up for pictures. But he had an artistic flair about him which radiated through his directions to the bridal party and most importantly the beautiful bride in question.

At one point I timidly approached the Picasso Prince and asked if I could have a small peak at the pictures he’d captured so far; and of course he happily obliged. Like most photographers he was glowing with pride as I “ooohed and aahed." I commended him on how beautiful the images were and asked how long he had been in his profession and I must say I was surprised to hear he had only taken up photography 6 months ago (January 2012). His images seemed like the handiwork of someone with years of experience.

The Picasso Prince whipped out his card and invited me to visit his page and check out more of his work and also added how he takes on international clients as well. Between you and me I just might give him a ring when it’s time for my brother to get hitched. I’m sure he’ll love the scenery in America.

After visiting both his Face book page, www.facebook.com/elegancemedia, as well as his web page, www.elegancemedia.co.uk/home, I would definitely recommend Amin to my friends and family. He has worked with an array of clients and his images exemplify the emotions and atmosphere of each event.




Here's one of my favorite images:  The heart wrenching moment when the bride is leaving her family and entrusting herself into the hands of her betrothed.

Amin’s photography has an air of documentary story style shooting emulated through his images from beginning to end.  His photos tell a story of the day just perfectly and - each time I look at the photos - I spot somebody's expression or a clever detail that was missed the first time around.

These are some of my other favorite images I found on the Elegance Media page of the bride getting ready; adorning herself in beauty. The MUA did an excellent job on her makeup and as it should be, the blushing bride looks happy beyond words. As a married woman I suppose I could say I have an idea of the thoughts running through her mind as I've been in her place, but even if I weren't  Amin’s photography of this moment tells me exactly what she’s thinking. The bride’s excited, maybe a tad bit nervous, and can’t wait to see what she looks like!



Photography is the art of telling a story; successfully depicting the emotions taking place at that very moment.  The gems of your story are sometimes buried deep out of sight.  In order to bring this story alive it’s impertinent you have a good photographer.  Personally I could not recommend Amin highly enough!  He produces the most beautiful pictures and manages to capture the essence of the day in an unimaginable way.

So if you are in need of a photographer check out either of these pages and contact Photographer Amin Islam!

Sesames

Last night as I drove through the busy lit roads looking at the bright evening sky with the wind blowing in my face I thought of you.  I thought of you and wondered where you were, what you were doing, what you were thinking, and if, just if, there were any ifs in your mind......On nights like this I feel like the skies above me feel my sorrow and yet somehow I feel free..maybe its because I feel one when immersed in such beauty or maybe because it's those times that I can be true to myself and you...who knows..but I still hear the voices and questions in my head, the minute I'm alone or lying in bed or when I open my eyes to the bright specks of sunlight streaming through my curtains and the innocent singing of the mockingbird outside my bedroom window, I hear them, it's as if with your exit came a new companion for me, my own companionship, my twin who always lived in my subconscious but far from haunting me, now she haunts me every day with her continuous questions....Wh...

Immigration or British Laziness?

There are many things the UK is good for and one of them is how the media allows the public to take national TV screens, set up panels, and voice their opinions... Of course in the UK there are two very big issues which affect all UK citizens, benefits and immigration. There are so many illegal immigrants living here in the UK under the radar of the UKBA who will eventually be caught and while they are hiding well earned tax payers money is going towards feeding them. And then you have another group of immigrants both within and outside of the Euro coming in to the UK legally however taking away all the jobs which you and I, citizens of the UK, should have to feed our families. But here’s the thing the British economy is thriving BECAUSE of these immigrants. They come into the country hoping to live the British dream by working hard and feeding their families so they are open to doing any job that is available to them. A lot of the jobs they have are low pay grueling jobs which most ...

Forever First

Every time I look at my phone and see his texts something inside of me lights up.  It’s a wonderful feeling knowing there’s someone else in this universe who understands how you feel because they feel it too and their simple words of reassurance does wonders to this lonely feeling.  He’s become my best friend, my first actual grown up best friend.  Sometimes I do wonder how our friendship never turned into anything else.  To be honest it baffles me.  It’s an age old conception that men and women can never simply be friends.  Somewhere down the line it blossoms into something more, whether it be purely physical or love. I remember the first night we met.  I’d just logged on to this chat site after many years and the first person to pop up was him.  I was wasting a bit of time as it was still pretty early in the night, nothing on telly, and far from tired.  After spending a few minutes flicking through channels I decided to doodle a bit on ...
