Pembroke College Wedding Photography – Toree and John
Posted by: | CommentsDear Toree and John,
Tell more Toree, why whenever I type your name I want to type 2 Rs. Just a thought. Thanks to you both for having Darren and I to your most excellent Pembroke College, Cambridge wedding. I can now tell folks I ‘went to Cambridge’. Should I omit the ‘just for a day’ bit. Reminds me of folks who say they went to Oxford (followed by a long pause) Brookes. Tangents galore!
It was a military wedding without the guns…or the fancy dress for that matter. I sometimes wonder why all military weddings don’t wear uniforms. Then I reflect on how my wife used to go wild when I wore my Pizza Hut delivery outfit back at Uni. Fair dos…the last thing you want are more women falling over themselves for you on your wedding day.
Speaking of falling over things on your wedding day…how about the things I fell for on your wedding day. I loved that Tor(r)ee’s mum, knowing that she was getting ready in a holiday flat, felt compelled to bring along photos of the family from home to make it feel more personal. I loved how one Bridesmaid flew in from Africa whilst another one was frantically trying to find flats in Boston (USA). I loved that even though the venue weren’t keen on assembling the cake Toree’s Dad took a crash course in cake tier creation. I LOVED the church. I don’t think I’ve ever shot a wedding in a church where the light was better. I think I remember you guys being concerned. It was lush (says Nessa). I loved being allowed to shoot in the church (refreshing) and the aweseome choir. I loved the parents only receiving line. Nice touch. I was amazed to see, entirely through coincidence, a guest from a wedding I did two years ago and there was no single connection between the two (apart from him and I). I loved the dining hall…amazing to photograph in. I loved…well…everything.
I know you aren’t off until next week. I’m working hard to ensure I have something for you before you go. So I hope you enjoy this wee taster.
BTW…my wife didn’t really like my Pizza Hut delivery uniform. Creative license.

I was never very good at Geometry

The Eagles once said, ‘Take it Easy’. Its a song, not a mantra!


The disadvantage of being the tallest Bridesmaid


It’s Cambridge…I would be negligent not to.

Designed by Christopher Wren some eight years prior to St Paul’s. It was very kind of him to think about how digital cameras would react to white balance, so much so that he flooded the place with amazing natural light. Ta Chris.

Perhaps…and some people will be like ‘huh?’ — one of my favourite images of the year
Fascinating!

as the Beastie Boys once said, “Girls!”

Pembroke College Cambridge – Toree and John – Just One
Posted by: | CommentsI selected this one because, by his own admission, John isn’t a fan of the camera. Funny for a chap who has been known to stand in front of Buckingham Palace with a big hat probably having his photo taken all day.
