Surrey Wedding Photography – Sarah and Michael
ByYes…its very late. Nicola is staying over with the kids at her sisters tonight. I’ve come home and decided to get today’s blog on the site ASAP. I’m taking tomorrow off and as we’re away 3 days next week I felt it was best to just get on with it. The only thing I don’t like about blogging so fast is that I’m forced to pick my images from either memory or small thumbnails. Invariably I always find a few in the next stage that I wish I would have put up instead. But with so many images to choose from it made sense to find the ones I like and get on with it.
Today I made it back to Hampton Court House. Its hard to believe when you’re there that this is actually a working private school. It almost seems made for weddings. I first visited HCH last year and the time away did nothing to convince me how much I love working there. It easily ranks in my all time top civil ceremony rooms in respect to fabutastic light. My other faves are Cain Manor and Clandon Park. Some of you, if you look close enough, may actually recognise Sarah. If you don’t…tough noogies :)
Just a photo of the Jenson Button-holes (we call that foreshadowing in literary circles)
Somewhere…over the Rainbow (that’s kind of an in-joke amongst us photographers)
Dad practices his speech 3 floors down…brides dress in the foreground
See…there’s the answer to the foreshadowing…if all brides could kindly put the F1 qualifying on for me I would be grateful
Kung Fu Curlers
Well..it had to happen sometime didn’t it
On the way down the stairs…a mirror…(said like that nodding dog advert)…Oh Yes!
Meanwhile, over at HCH (the ushers/best men) closed the door and locked me in. So this is the only thing I could get of the brides-mates arriving
Sarah had told me “yeah, um, Mike…he blinks..A LOT…in photos”. So I took a brave yet sensible decision and decided that I would simply omit his face in every shot. As you can see from the example above, problem solved!
Dad (FYI)
(The smarter amongst you will probably already realise this) Mum
Its (fabutastic) light Jim…but not as every venue knows it
All you need is some clay and Patrick Swayze and you’ve got a scene out of ‘Ghost’ (this wee bridesmaid — and BTW, I only use words like wee when I get Scottish guests…they love that stuff…no, honest — was into everything and fodder for all of us with cameras)
I did ‘occassionally’ break the ‘No Mike/Face’ Rule
No posing…just set her off down the stairs — snap, snap, snap
Without Mike, Sarah seemed freakishly small
Crikey…I can hear the Traditional Wedding Photo cops knocking on the door…I’ll grab the ammo, you lock the door
Speech!
Dancin’ in the Ceiling
Just look at his eyes…he looks like Daniel Craig
Not what I would call a keeper…but check out the big head on the dress. The challenge with off camera lighting is sometimes knowing when to get out of the way…I look quite dashing in silhouette, no?
Electric Light Orchestra
Throw the dog a (trom)bone
Night, night
And A Few the Boy Wonder — Darren, The Tenacious (5) D (perhaps some of Darren’s best I might add)
Yet another one for Mumm
Great shot D
I left him to his own devices and he organises a Flower Tattoo
This may well be…my most favourite shot Darren has ever taken.
From the balcony
Again…just snap, snap, snap.
I find this image a hoot…sorry if not everyone does
Crackin’ stuff Mr D
