I had about five minutes before the Bride and Groom were called for their dinner. I spotted a wall filled with old China Tea cups. I applied a gel to the flash and hey presto!!! This couple were the coolest ever!!!
I just LOVE this shot! it looks quite "easy done", but it was definetely not! And it might look like it was not staged at all, but it was!
The difficulty was to "direct" the two horses to look to the left and right, to keep them "on place", so they are positioned clearly released in front of the sky and to let the couple kiss without falling down from the horses ;)
I remember laying on the grass right in front of the horses to catch the best moment with my 20mm Sigma Art, while hearing the guests whisper: "Oh boy, this guy has some guts! Would be too dangerous for me!"
But to be honest, I never have thoughts like this when shooting pictures like this one. You just have to trust the couple (and the horses) and of course you have to trust yourself that you have reflexes fast enough just in case... ;)
This moment for me is a great example of a story, two types of love in one scene here. This fleeting moment was captured as she reach the top of the aisle.
This was one of the last images taken on the night. I think we got it in the nick of time because it just started to pour rain...The couple got married in the Fernhill House, Clonakilty, Ireland. The couple were absolutely fantastic
The sunset was a bit fogged over this day, but it added to the mood for this one. I like adding reflections with a pocket mirror when I can.
Something wonderful about a wedding is, that no matter what happens, the good mood and happiness of a couple is not clouded by anything. Not even with a heavy rain shower during the bridal couple shooting. The groom has to help out spontaneously so that the bride can step up her legs. The absolutly right moment to take picture.
Lovely couple in a beautiful park with magic trees. It comes all together! I love these cute moments and to make a story of your wedding day.
The perfect couple, the same hobbies, addicted to sports And with the desire to continue completing goals and respect the love they have for each other, a day where smiles and tears were not lacking, their friends and family were also by their side completely convinced that this love will overcome all the bike and running races they can do throughout their lives. Happy to be there and leave the best memory.
I had the idea for this shot in my mind for quite a time and I knew exactly what I had to do - but only after 6 long months at a very cool wedding the possibility to realize this shot showed up!
I grabbed the chance and asked the couple, if they´d be in for some awesome funky crazy overdosed epic night shot and of course they were!
It would take too long to describe the making of in all details here, so I keep it short: This picture was totally made in camera and no effects or anything else was added in postproduction. And it took only 2 attempts to achive this shot!
All you need are some flashes, a lot of confetti, a "light saber", a slightly drunken bridal couple and an enthusiastic guest who likes to play with fire! And of course: a lot of fun!!
Manor by the Lake is a wonderful venue in the Contswolds, UK. This frame was using 100% natural ambient light and I was so happy the couple trusted me to brave the cold walk to get this!
Simple but effective shot. Used a purple smoke bomb with an AD200 quite far behind the couple. Also had a light set up on the front for different versions of the same pose, but wasn't activated on this shot as I wanted to go for the silhouette look.
I love spontaneous photos. Does the couple have an idea of photo that they would like, I like to work it out. This picture was taken in the beguinage Bruges
Milly & Sam's bridesmaids traveling in style to their wedding ceremony on the famous Godwick Hall wedding tractor in Norfolk, England. Everyone loves this part of the day at Godwick, and it makes a fantastic shot !!
This shot was taken at the stunning Abbeywood Estate in Cheshire during an incredibly informative workshop run by the awesome Neil Redfern.
I've wanted to be able to create some "wow factor" images for my couples since starting my wedding photography journey and this shot is just the type of thing I was after. Using a mirror held against my lens enabled me to get the reflection of sky underneath the couple.
I'll definitely be using this technique again!
During covid when receptions were banned the couple decided to make the most of the situation. After the Wedding breakfast, they headed down the beach where we caught a break in the weather and a beautiful moment of calm.
Sissons Barn in Peakirk is surrounded by open fields so when we saw the clouds and light we made a run for it! We just had to snap this one!
In the little streets behind the crazy and busy scène of St. Tropez it is quiet, and the shadows are a welcome guest on this hot day.
The couple was superfun and relaxt and in for some fun shots.
Epic day for Vic & Brandon wedding day at Cleatham Hall. It was same week when Storm Arwen. Super cold & windy day but didn't stop me stay outside getting some images.
This staircase at Thornton Hall always lends itself to a 15mm wide shot. Rachel was lit with an OCF light set at 1/64 in front of her, with a second OCF to my right at 1/128 lighting the back of the dress. The 15mm lens was used to capture the ornate skylight and capture the flowing lines of the staircase too. Thanks for the award Wedisson!
This Awesome Couple got married in the Amazing Dunloe Hotel in Kerry, Ireland. The whole wedding including ceremony and Reception took place on the grounds of the venue. I found this Ideal spot away not too far away from the Hotel. The couple were wondering why I was pointing the flash on the door behind them. When I showed them the picture from the back of the camera they were blown away!
