Richard Dutkowski Studio

In my estimations there is nothing quite so tedious than lining up for wedding photos after sitting through the ceremony… a lot of which are very touching and make for pretty moving memories… but the singing… well, lets just say that I wasn’t blessed with the best singing voice on the planet, and so weddings usually present me with one of the best opportunities to invariably show myself up in public! Weddings also used to offer me another means of ensuring social exclusion… but luckily I wised up after only making one faux pas in this direction! My error began when I failed to eat anything before the one ‘o’ clock ceremony, which was then immediately followed by copious amounts of champagne when we were all ferried to the gorgeous rustic location of the reception. There began an interminable photographic marathon, with no chance of nipping out to buy a burger to sustain me through the worst of it. I downed enough champagne to launch a whole fleet of ships, and managed to lay my hands on a couple of canapés, but they were no match for the bubbly poison. I was plastered by 5.00pm and nearly fell off my chair when we finally entered the marquee to eat. Incorruptible vanity has got a lot to answer for… it knows no compassion!
Richard Dutkowski is a great photographer, who does things a little differently! His results are often really natural, and don’t look anything like the ‘staged incidents’ that are the trademark of photography at formal occasions. I won’t wax lyrical about all of his technical abilities, as you will quickly see from a visit to his website what he is capable of. Suffice to say, I rate him highly!
