Wednesday took us of to Wood Hall, where we were to photograph David and Claire’s wedding. It was a lovely “intimate” wedding with only twenty two guests and no Ushers or Bridesmaids. So we were really looking forward to shooting something a little bit different.
The day was perfect for photography and the “bluest” winter skies were in attendance, the snow covered hills added to the ambiance of the whole occasion. Christmas trees were dotted around the building and christmas carols were gentle playing in the background as guests gathered in the bar, whilst drinking hot toddies.
I took David out with the best man and we shot some portraits of him and the best man and once we had those “in the bag” we let the guys go, and we waited for the arrival of the Bride, who was 20 minutes late, but nobody cared.
The ceremony was held in a quite room and went perfectly, with just the right amount of tears sheds, before wedding rings were swopped and signatures signed on the bottom. (of the wedding certificate!)
The ceremony was quite a late one and as we were on the “shortest day” we quickly dashed outside to catch the remainder of the light that we were going to work with. It was cold but no complaints were heard from the “B&G”
The day went like a dream and could not have been more romantic. After the wedding reception we took the “B&G” out again to catch the late blue sky of the winter evening and afterwards we held a slideshow which we set to music and projected it on to a giant screen for all the guests , so they could see the “highlights’ of the wedding that they had just attended. More tears of joys just rounded the night off perfectly. Well done David and Claire.
Yvonne (my lovely assistant) and myself got to work taking some pictures of Lynsey. I decided to shoot a little bit different than usual, so I used a different form of lighting to compliment Lynsey. In this shot you see here we have used a bit of photoshop work on Lynsey, not because she really needed it but just to give her that extra special look that every Bride deserves on their wedding day. We also did a bit of PS on Andrew as well so he didn’t feel left out!
