The best thing about my job?....the diversity.
Sitting in an Irish Bar in Leicester Square enjoying a beer and a bag of peanuts, I waited for Alex and Rob to get a break from the Theatre . As bookings go this was kind of last minute and was going to involve a 500 mile round trip up to Cumbria and two nights away, so I was eager to find out what the order of the day was.
Nothing could have prepared me really. So much creativeness all in one place, with friends and family chipping in at every point to bring this extraordinary day together.
Usually I look at a wedding and think to myself, how can I tell the story best, framing, composition and my own ability to be creative, where it is warranted, kicks into play. However as the guests started to converge at Alex's family home I quickly decided that the best way to tell this story was simply to shoot it, to fill my lens with the vibrancy and colour that engulfed me.
We started the 30 minute trek up to Gibby, the waterfall that Alex enjoyed playing at as a child and the day began...there are so many elements that it is impossible to include them all in one blog post so as ever I have just included some of my favorite frames.
You never know what you will inadvertently shoot at a wedding and this one held some special moments for me.
Alex and Rob are the best. So easy going and relaxed, it made this job something special.
Enjoy.
