Inn on the Lake Wedding Photographer review

2011-09-27T23:42:00.000-07:00

Incredible wedding photographs!!!! I found Jason on Google and was immediately taken with his website, after initially speaking to him I was impressed by his friendly, easygoing manner. Before the wedding we met up for a pre wedding shoot and I can't recommend this enough for couples using Jason, not only did we get some excellent photo's and a framed picture for guests to sign, we also benefited from spending a few hours with Jason with everyone getting to know each other and how we worked together in advance of the wedding. A must for anyone I feel. The day of the wedding went smoothly and despite challenging weather Jason did us proud. He had also taken the time to do some reconnaissance around Ullswater and find some stunning backdrops for the photographs. Jason stayed with us all day, right up to the first dance at the evening reception (not many wedding photographers do this) so in actual fact 'per hour'Jason represents excellent value for money. The results were simply stunning and we have lost count of the number of times we have been told by people that they are the best wedding photo's they have ever seen. I agree. Jason is quite simply the best wedding photographer in the area and such a nice chap on top.

Downhill Mountain Biking in Pila the Aosta Valley - Italy

2011-08-04T01:52:00.000-07:00

Pila is a Mountain Biking heaven because of its bike transportation system and permanent mountain bike down-hill tracks. There are four main ones and three of varying degrees of difficulty divided into downhill and freeride. It’s possible to ascend to a height of 2341 metres by cable car giving a clear 2000 metres of pure technical challenging terrain. These tracks take you along the Du Bois ski slope for around 2600 metres. The starting point is next to the Chamolé ski lift station. Day, half-day and multi-day passes are available. Make it out there and have a blast! Check out Yeti Lodge they are putting together a freeride trip for September 2011.

Shooting on two canon 5D mark 2 cameras also adds the option to mix HD video and photographs together. I was absolutely blown away with the quality.

Back from Scuba Diving in Mexico with the Canon G12 and Canon WP-DC34

2011-02-14T09:29:00.000-08:00

The Mexican Yucatan Peninsula, Mayan history, friendly locals and diving varying from the cenote caverns to Cozumel. 'There's just not enough time in the day" we heard ourselves saying whilst having breakfast in Playacar. Abyss Dive Centre in Playa Del Carmen provided a great service guiding us around all of these amazing dive sites. Whilst diving with the Abyss, Cath & Chris were very helpful with extending our diving qualifications to advanced diver and nitrox diver.Photography equipment and tips to capture our diving in Mexico as follows. Canon G12 , Canon Underwater Housing, IST video light bought from cameras underwater. One thing to remember which seems to catch a few photographers out is keep your eye on your ISO levels as light levels decrease whilst cavern diving.Remember the higher your ISO the more noise you will notice in the image. Also maintain a shutter speed no lower than an 80th of a second to avoid any potential camera shake.

The Inn On The Lake Wedding Photographs

2011-01-01T03:56:00.000-08:00

My last wedding of 2010 was at the Inn on the Lake, located on the ice crusted shores of Ullswater. The keen cold snap that we’ve had this winter has helped me capture some stunning Winter Wedding Portraiture. Emily and Matthew had a lovely ceremony and shortly afterwards we managed to brave the cold and step outside into a winter wonderland.

Canon G12 with Underwater Housing WP-DC34

2010-11-03T11:01:00.000-07:00

Just back from our Maldives diving and snorkeling trip and thought I would post a few Canon G12 sample photographs with the underwater housing. I found it hard to research examples of this set up before my purchase so I am hoping that it will help a few potential buyers with their decision. The camera and housing worked a treat for what I was doing and I am sure an expensive strobe would have been even more powerful. After talking to cameras underwater I decided to go with an underwater video light to help with the HD video function of the G12. Here are a few samples with a more in depth slideshow on the main website. Oh almost forgot to mention how lucky we were to swim with Whale Sharks and Manta Rays.

Helen and Peter are soon to be married at the Beach Hill Hotel by Bowness.
We met up in Grasmere had a leisurely walk by the lakeshore and captured some lovely pre wedd photographs.
Dear Jason,
We wanted to say a big thank you for the pre-wedding photoshoot we had with you last week, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The pictures are amazing and you’ve captured us in very natural, happy poses. We were thrilled to receive a selection of pictures to view only a few hours after the photoshoot, what great service!

This experience has confirmed what we already felt – that we have chosen a fantastic photographer for our wedding.
We have every confidence that you will capture our Big Day brilliantly.

We look forward to seeing you again in a couple of weeks,

Many thanks,

Helen & Pete

Lucy and Tim travelled from Kent to be married at the Lodore Falls Hotel located in the picture
perfect Borrowdale Valley. Fine weather and a really low Derwent Water changed the Keswick Launch plans of the Lodore Landing to the Ashness Landing. All that superb weather we have been receiving recently remained with us resulting in a great Wedding day.

Hello Jason, As Tim's mum I just had to email you. The pictures of Tim and Lucy's wedding are really beautiful. I have to keep looking at them they are so good. Thank you very much.
We are all feeling a bit sad that it's all over but have some wonderful memories of the day. thank you again.

Hi Jason,
I have to thank you a million times for the fantastic photos! I've never seen anything quite like them.
You completely captured the feel of the wedding, which was fun and emotional, but definately NOT stuffy.
The photos are quite stunning..and you've performed a miracle by making me look good in a photo. You deserve a medal just for that.
Thanks again for giving us wonderful merories of a wonderful day, to keep forever.
Kindest Regards
Karen

Joe & Emma from Berkshire were married at the Holy Trinity Church located in Grange (Borrowdale)
After braving the weather conditions we headed to Hundith Hill Hotel for the Wedding Breakfast.

We chose Jason because he was really easy to get on with and we liked the style of his photos. He was flexible in his approach and unobtrusive; most of the time we didn't even notice he was there.

Everyone we've shown the pics to has been blown away, choosing Jason was one of the best decisions we made! Thanks again Jason, you did a cracking job!

Cheers,

Wild South Africa

2010-03-29T07:13:00.001-07:00

We were fortunate enough to see the big five in one day which was a first for me. Must thank the very experienced Game Driver, Howard Thorne, as he was quick off the mark for those crucial positions to try and capture that perfect shot. Leopard , Leopard and more Leopard Wow! Some frantic moments in the car whilst heading back to Berg-en-Dal camp during the late afternoon with lovely light. Just as you think your day is over, cruising steadily through the bush with rugged mountains in the distance, the sighting that makes your day is waiting around the corner......SOMEONE SHOUTS Leopard. This is where I feel sorry for the driver! STOP, back a bit, there's a tree, forward, stop. As soon as we are set up and in position guess what? the Leopard moves on and what started as an adrenalin moment of checking camera settings turns into a stakeout, waiting for the next movement.

Armathwaite Hall Wedding Photography

What a great start to my 2010 Wedding season! Armathwaite Hall and a great bunch of folk, not forgetting the stunning Bride and Groom. Steven and Emma travelled from Newton-Le-Willows to be married at Armathwaite Hall.
Thank you so much for capturing our wonderful day with some truly fantastic shots. You made everyone feel so at ease that it didn’t take long before you were considered one of the wedding party. Your shots were original, artistic and technically brilliant which made some truly magical memories of the day. Choosing your wedding photographer is one of the biggest decisions to make for the day and without a doubt we made the perfect choice!! Getting some shots sent to us just before we went on our honeymoon was just another example of the excellent service you gave us from start to finish. We know that our album will be treasured forever, thank you Steve & Emma

Chamonix Snowboarding & The Vallée Blanche

2010-01-25T07:40:00.000-08:00

Chamonix Mont Blanc - what a place. Yeti Lodge, with a warm cosy feel looking onto Mont Blanc with hot tubs and great food, even better.
Time to gear up and get out without being to heavy for easy jet.
Whats in the bag for this one then? Canon 17-40mm, Canon 28-70mm Canon 15mm Fisheye, Canon 70-200mm and the 5D Mark 2.

A tricky shot to get this one, due to the nerve racking crevasses that were around preventing me from sitting down on the board to get the camera out. So, the trick was to master a safe place to stop and try to face the correct way to compose my shot. Very awkward getting the gear off my back whilst staying still on the snowboard as I was on my last day with tired legs.
If I get out here again I would rather use a holster style camera bag as opposed to the backpack.

The Mont Blanc Massif is a mountain range in the western part of the Alps. At 4,810 it can be viewed from the Aiguille du Midi station and is not to be missed.

Finally at the bottom after negotiating through a few rocky outcrops, next task was to walk up to the little snack shop before boarding down to Chamonix via Les Planards. What an amazing day this was to finish my trip in Chamonix. Oh! and my binding strap snapped just before getting to the bottom, this would have been a nightmare if I was still in the Vallée Blanche.

Winter Walking in the Lake District

Wrap up warm if you are considering Winter Walking in the Lake District as Derwent Water has now frozen and it's getting a little chilly to say the least. Can you believe there are are walkers now walking across the lake over to the islands WOW. Who is going to be first with a lorry load of ice skating boots to hire?

Snowboarding in Keswick with the iphone

2010-01-09T04:12:00.000-08:00

Lana has just started to learn how to snowboard on cumbria's newest ski run set up in Ireby. Conditions like this you have to give it a go. Hire boards are available at Sick & the Wrong in Keswick but be aware they are super busy at the moment so book early to avoid disappointment. Failing that get yourself a sledge or plagi bag as we used to call them in Yorkshire. Have fun and get your legs tuned for Europe.

Picture Postcard Keswick Town trimmed up and looking sweet for Christmas. The lights were switched on by Prince Charles after he visited local Keswick residents including myself after being affected by the Keswick 2009 floods. As nice as the town looks there is still a major clean up going on with skips scattered around the flooded areas , some of them looking like potential hazards themselves being on the main road.

Langdale Chase Wedding Photography

2009-12-08T03:28:00.001-08:00

Jason Chambers is an amazing wedding photographer! His photographs are stunning (just take a look at his portfolio) but he's an absolute star for so many other reasons. On the day, he conducts himself perfectly. He's completely invisible during the special moments, capturing excellent candid shots without without intruding at all. He's great at directing posed/groups shots, making everyone feel at ease. Most importantly though, he's just such a nice bloke that everyone enjoys working with him, which inevitably results in great images. Jason also works so hard. He puts every effort possible into ensuring that the images are the best they can be. What more could you ask for?

Keswick Floods November 2009

2009-11-19T10:02:00.000-08:00

Keswick Launch pictured here, an area usually full of tourists awaiting their trip on Derwent Water. All boat landings are completely covered with the high flood water.

Just been evacuated from home today due to the constant rain we have been having here in Keswick.
As I am writing this new post (6pm) the rain is still coming down hard and there is talk of Thirlmere Dam being opened as well as high tides.
At the moment, all main roads are closed which lead into Keswick town. The fire brigade and emergency services are still on the go and travelling as far as Bootle to help this disaster zone out.
This has been declared a major incident and is much worse compared to the Keswick 2005 floods.

Just seen footage of Cockermouth main street totally underwater, Looks like it's just going to get worse.

Wedding Photography in the Lake District

2009-09-01T05:24:00.001-07:00

Well, as we all know this summer has been nothing to rave about and my bbq is spending more time outside getting wet and going rusty as opposed to producing some tasty food and social drinking. Having said that my Camera has been clicking some serious amount of photographs as everybody seems to want to get married in August. Now and again I often wonder if all this talk about global warming is going to change the wedding season here in the UK. As far as I can remember, the past few years we have had some great weather early on and everyone seems to make that hopeful statement "it's going to be a good summer this year". I think I have only been swimming in the lake once or twice this year and didn't even consider the toe dipping test in fear of the flooded pier collapsing. So getting back to my photography blog .... Its been a while since I have posted anything due to being so busy, there are a few posts below which were shot in August. A question I often get asked is what do we do if it rains? My answer to this is that I cover the whole day from the bridal preparations to the first dance and usually get a brief weather window to get outside and grab a few photographs. As you can see on my wedding slide shows, whatever the weather, I always manage to capture some cracking location shots.
