You may have noticed weve had a major rebrand and were delighted to officially launch our new Facebook page and website! Until recently we were known as Christian Ward Photography, but we are now Christian and Erica - Film Photography. We are and always have been a team, and our new name reflects this, as well as emphasizing our commitment to the beautiful medium of film, which we use in conjunction with digital photography. Hand in hand with this name change comes our pret...ty new logo (designed by us, with hand drawn illustrations by Erica) and a beautiful new website, designed to reflect us as people and what matters to us as photographers. You can find out all about us and see new updated galleries full of film photography goodness at http://www.christiananderica.com None of our changes affect our existing clients, who will receive exactly the same high quality service and choice of packages as at the time of your booking :-)

Really pleased to be up on Love My Dress today with Lindsey & Davids wedding at Manchester Museum and Imperial War Museum. Looking good you two. In fact, you three! http://www.lovemydress.net//charlotte-balbier-tabitha-biba

Today were up on Rock My Wedding again, this time its Holly & Dans turn! http://www.rockmywedding.co.uk/in-case-it-gets-emotional

Last year we had the pleasure of shooting Claire & Dannys wedding at Woodthorpe Hall, and we just wanted to share the feedback they gave us. Now, Danny was a lovely yet sneaky ol fellow, because it wasnt until near the end of the wedding day that he shared with us that he lectures in photography! Weve shot the weddings of quite a few photographers now and its always a nice feeling to get the stamp of approval from peers, and we loved the feedback that they wrote for us. ...Its also a good opportunity to share a few photos from their day. "A massive THANK YOU for your patience and hard work throughout the day, you are both such lovely people it was a pleasure to have you with us on such a wonderful day. Our pictures look truly amazing and really capture the laid back atmosphere created by our family and friends. From one photographer to another; I admire your appreciation of light and your dedication to the preservation of your own style, to quote Ansel Adams: -You dont make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved- Need I say more? Best Wishes Mr and Mrs Bell"

One Experience isnt just for couples. Its an ethos we can also apply to families...I love these tender black & white film shots of Abi and her baby Theo.

Good afternoon! Just a short note to let you know (in case you missed it) that our new One Experience venture has its own Facebook page. At some point well revert to keeping this Christian Ward Photography page for our wedding work, so if you want to keep up to date on One Experience, swing by the One Experience page and Like it! You can find it here: http://www.facebook.com/MyOneExperience

And so here it is - launch day for One Experience - our brand new venture by Christian & Erica of Christian Ward Photography! Undertaking a One Experience with us is about more than just the photographs. Its about taking time out to discover, re-discover, connect and re-connect with whats important in your life. Weve called it a One Experience because its about bringing all these things together as one, though it should be far from a once in a lifetime occurrence. We hav...e created One Experience as a way of documenting the journey of your love at various intervals throughout your life, and as a way of breaking out of the tradition of restricting meaningful photography to engagements and weddings. Its an experience we believe is perfectly suited to film photography, and well be working entirely with this medium. The best way to find out all about One Experience and the ethos behind it is by visiting our website at http://www.myoneexperience.com Please drop on by the website and have a good look around, and dont be afraid to say hello at our One Experience Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/myoneexperience :-)
