Moor Park Golf Club Wedding Photography – Julia and Michael’s Slideshow
Posted by: | CommentsJulia and Michael – Hertfordshire Wedding Photography
Posted by: | CommentsWhen is a Saturday wedding not a Saturday wedding…well, when you kinda start on Friday. Which is exactly what I did for Julia and Michael’s wedding at Moor Park Golf Club and Chalfont St Giles. Julia layed on a special (although some of the chaps might not see it that way) surprise for the boys who were playing a celebration 18 on the fantastic High Course at Moor Park. Being a golfer myself (who, rather unexpectedly, got to play a few holes on Sunday evening) I was chuffed to get the chance to shoot some golf…just not perhaps the way I normally thinking of shooting at golf. So before we move on to the wedding stuff, let’s check out what was up on the Bermuda Bent (ok…probably not Bermuda Bent grass in Hertfordshire, but golfers will be the point).




I said I wouldn’t mention that this wasn’t the first attempt…I lied!

Mike (the Groom)



I don’t often do pano…but this worked for me

Oh yes…the wedding. I remember now. I started at the church (or should I say we, as Darren joined me) but with any good groom, the church quickly gives way to the pub.

ah…the Amber Nector..see, all the marketing DOES work

Stop! Hammer Time!

Only a slight lie

Damn you Best Man (and Groom’s brother) for looking so much like Mike (to be fair, I could really get a line in on Mike so you’ll have to do)

There were two great beams on light in the church…this is the first…

…and this is the second. Sweet!

As they turned the corner, they stopped. I was flumoxed (is that how you spell that?). I gestured wildly, don’t stop, just keep going. Oh the pressure.

Not likely to win Flower Girl of the Year 2009

Don’t ask if its set up…it ain’t

Keeping your key in your cleavage is not recommended

Moor Park…more than just a little nice

One (just one) for the Mums

Sorry…I kinda liked those stairs


There was just something about this. She’s looking away from the light, down and her eyes are down…but it had a mysterious feeling about. Film like it you must ask. So much so I actually added grain to this image. Whodothunkit!



Amazing what ISO4000 will get you in todays world

FOB had his speech before the meal


Still reeling from the key incident
A wee bit about a supplier I met on Saturday at the wedding. Photography may be my thing but if I could pick some other talent I might we be persuaded to select table poetry. OK, what the hell is that I hear you ask! Think of a table magician, but instead replace him/her with a rather talented, quick thinking and comic poet who allows the table to give him 3 concepts, words or ideas and without a single bit of hesitation starts an amazing prose, rhyming every word and even going around the context of those words as well. So..if you are looking for something completely different and terribly unique (that’s a good thing by the way) have a look at Judge The Poet.

Quickly administering the Heimlich Maneuver to comedic effect

White balance…hmmm…never heard of it. OK, I have, but I really liked the warm tones

Laughing about children, clothes and a rather bad memory


It seemed an odd time to start making shadow puppets

Hmm…yes…well…To say I could barely get any focus would be fair. The fact that even though this is a total cockup I have to say I really rather like it. I gave up on dance shots after this..

“I couldn’t dance with another…..WHOOOOO!”

Ceee-garrr

‘Thing’ and his 3 friends
And of course, its never complete (well, Saturday weddings that is) until we see a few from Darren


He’s really rather starting to scare me

I just like the thin plane of focus and the story that it tells

I was kinda hoping he missed me sleeping on the job

And with that I now call him a Jedi Photographer


Love that he’s getting the car in motion thing…but at F22 on a 3 year old 5D the dirt takes a few minutes to remove

Great observation of light and eye contact…as I say, he scares me
