The weather forecast was for severe winds this weekend and I was really wondering how the day was going to turn out. As it happens, the wind wasn't that bad and a great day followed. Hannah & Peter were such fun, this was the first time I'd travelled to the venue with the bride, it was a good laugh. A good day was had by all.
Ok, its Christmas, so the tree and decorations were a major feature throughout the day.
Time to get suited and booted, the hour has come.
Nice shoe shot on the window. The bride was getting ready at her parents and it was a lovely cottage, although the lighting was limited.
Hannah was really getting into her day and was one of those people that were really positive and happy, as you can see from this mirror shot.
Time to get to the taxi, a quick walk down the alleyway. Nice urban bride shot I think.
The ceremony.
Posing for the guests, I like to take side shots at this point.
It was a freezing day but as we were so near the beach Hannah wanted all the guests to go to the beach for a group shot. Used a bit of old film colouring in this shot. I love the couple engaged in a chat, nice and natural.
Back to Deal town hall and getting ready for the bus trip back to The Bell. I travelled on the bus with the guests and carried on shooting during the journey. I never realised how bumpy a bus could be, suppose you don't notice when your sitting down but I had to get into a stance standing up and shoot.
7pm, winter, no flash, just using the light from the shop. I love this sort of situation making something out of nothing. I always look around the location and find somewhere to utilise the shoot. I think this really worked well.
Again, at the Bell, under the tree in the pub garden
The Bell has some lovely stained glass at the entrance so we used this as a back drop and the lighting from the doorway illuminated Hannah & Peters faces, nice
First dance, Hannah was eager to get all the guests involved. A great couple and a most enjoyable day.
