Wedding photographer Essex
The weather looked very iffy leading up to the day and driving to Katie's mum's house for the bridal shoot i could see very dark, ominous clouds building up, not a good, foreboding of the hours to come. Bridal shots done with Katie & her 3 children, to the church to meet up with peter and get the guests and family shots before the service started, nice warm day & sunshine & i thought ( prematurely ) the weather was going to get better & turn into a spring sunshiny day, How wrong could i be, Bride arrives with dad in his Morris minor, service done, processional, & as the couple get to the entrance, The heavens opened up & didn't stop for over 30 minutes.Confetti & group shots missed.
My favourite shot the couple with the Morris minor
After the glorious weather of the last few months & not one Saturday with any rain, i was about to come back down to UK weather with a big bump.
Last Saturday the 24th may I photographed the wedding of peter & Katie in Harrow Weald.
The weather looked very iffy leading up to the day and driving to Katie's mum's house for the bridal shoot i could see very dark, ominous clouds building up, not a good, foreboding of the hours to come. Bridal shots done with Katie & her 3 children, to the church to meet up with peter and get the guests and family shots before the service started, nice warm day & sunshine & i thought ( prematurely ) the weather was going to get better & turn into a spring sunshiny day, How wrong could i be, Bride arrives with dad in his Morris minor, service done, processional, & as the couple get to the entrance, The heavens opened up & didn't stop for over 30 minutes.Confetti & group shots missed.
We had arranged to do couple shots at Eastcote park near Pinner & then on to the venue, " Tudor lodge " just around the corner.
As we arrived at Eastcote park a really nice 15th century Tudor House & gardens, the rain was hammering it down so decided to find a spot under a tree to get some nice romantic snogging shots, weird weather in this spot the foliage of the trees protected the couple from the rain yet the background was blazing sunshine ( 4 seasons in one day ).
I had intended to do as much off camera flash as i could but in order to maximise the use of what sunshine there was it was a rogue flash bender on camera, but as the rain stopped and the sun came out so did the pocket wizards and a couple of Nikon Sb-910's.The heart shape umbrella shot was Katie's idea, very simple a Sb-910 mounted on a stand with a rogue flash bender behind Peter & Katie, a couple of test shots and nailed!. I loved this picture and will be doing it in future weddings,corny to some lovely to others,each to their own.Wedding photographer Essex
