A few weeks ago I photographed my first wedding after saying I would never do weddings! A beautiful day, really relaxed and full of sunshine and smiles. A civil ceremony at Cheltenham Pump Rooms, followed by afternoon tea at home, with tea served in china cups and sandwiches and cakes made by family and friends.
Ian and Julia (who used to blog as Vintage Heaven), didn't want any staged shots, and wanted to capture the day without having a photographer directing the proceedings and getting in the way! Which I felt suited my reportage style, I couldn't imagine having the confidence or experience to direct and shoot a large or formal affair!
I combined both digital and film photography, which worked really well as the wedding was beautifully styled and full of detail, from the china teacups to the bunches of fresh flowers in jam jars.
Julia looked stunning and as you can see from these few pics she didn't stop smiling all day!
so despite having vowed never to be a wedding photographer, here I am shooting weddings!
