Mark & Emma's L.A. Wedding

December 07, 2016 • Leave a Comment

HERE are a few pictures from a recent wedding I photographed in Long Ashton, Bristol. This wedding threw up a number of challenges - namely that the vicar told me I was not allowed to take any photographs during the ceremony, and that I could either take four photos from the back of the church with a long lens, or go upstairs and shoot from behind a window. Neither of these options appealed to me - my clients had hired my to capture their vows and I didn't want to disappoint. When I asked the vicar why she was reluctant to let me work during the service, she said others that had photographed the ceremony were noisy and distracting.

With that in mind, I decided to switch from my Canon DSLR cameras over to a couple of Fuji X-Series mirrorless cameras - an X-E2 and X-100s to be precise. I shot a couple of frames from the back of the church and upstairs as requested before sneaking down with my little Fuji's and shoot silently. Nobody noticed me and everyone was happy.

Obviously every wedding has something unique about it, but the lay-out and decor at the reception venue - The Tithe Barn in Nailsea near Bristol - was quite something, and all the work was down to the lovely couple Emma and Mark. Another unique aspect of the day was the Best Man's speech. That job was handed to Mark's brother, Andrew. I won't go into details about the content of his speech, but I will say a lot of Mark's sporting idols played a part in helping to make this a truly special day.
