I always say if you want good weather, book your wedding for September. It seems to be the new August just like Thursday is the new Friday and Black is the new White. Well on this occasion I was wrong as it was overcast on what was forecast to be a lovely day. The first thing you do on the morning of any shoot is look of the window. Today looked ominous, but I prayed it would not rain as the reception was in a Marquee and the Bride walking to church!
On this occasion Cold Oak was providing the video as well as photography so we were at the house promptly on time and everyone was already finished getting ready! The vicar in this case insisted now no photos in the church whatsoever. That was the Bad News. Good news was she seemed happy for us to stand exactly where we wanted with the camera. Strange ideas they have sometimes, but on all these days they are the boss!
The groom drove a beautiful Aston Martin lent to him by pain of death by his new father in law. We had real fun photographing them in front of the school gates where they both met and where the Bride lived next to and then it was up to the Marquee for afternoon tea.
We use a steadicam for much of the motion shots and in this video you can see the pan around the Bride & Groom on their first dance using the excellent but expensive piece of kit!
