In This Moment | Take five

March 25, 2015

Karl and Orla's wedding at Lillibrooke Manor was just beautiful, I have so many images from their 2013 wedding which still have pride of place in my wedding photography portfolio. For me though, this image is by far my favourite. It was created during a ten-minute' walk and talk' halfway through the drinks reception - a simple process to help in the creation of exceptionally natural portraiture. For just a few moments Karl and Orla sat along the edge of the field, it was a particularly sunny, dry August that year so the conditions were ideal.

For me, this image represents what this stage of the day is about - taking a moment and spending a precious 5 to 10 minutes with each other before the second half of the day kicks off.

Love this.

In This Moment | Proud

This has to be one of my favourite father and daughter shots, ever! It was created during a large Indian wedding at Northbrook Park in Surrey and it confidently sums the emotions felt during the final stages of the wedding day. It's such a proud moment for parents and I love this Surrey wedding photography as it captures the reaction of the father just at the right time - a truly beautiful moment.

It's not just about that look though, I'm also exceptionally fond of the range of black and white tones, these two elements are why this image has made it onto my 'In This Moment' series.

In This Moment | Expressions

I love this image. It's so fun and really captures the spirit of a wedding reception. That said, I'm probably even more fond of it as I know just how rare a moment like this is to document.

Looking through my files this is one of two frames taken of the scene, the first showed the baby with a face mixed with elation and fear and didn't quite work! The second, though, was perfect - with faces at (almost) polar opposites.

I find walking around during the drinks reception highly productive, it's the perfect time to produce documentary wedding photography of the family and friends in attendance.
