I have spent the last month back at college, completing a wedding photography training course, as I begin offering a wedding photography service this year. It was a fantastic course, covering a wide range of topics from what happens when on the day (and more importantly where I need to be when and how!), posing the bride and groom, photographing groups, low-light photography (including a great opportunity to photograph some stained glass, which I couldn’t resist including below), plus far more – too much to mention here!

The bride and groom were played by models, with simple props (hence the cheap Tesco tulip bouquet!), shot over two different sessions (which accounts for the inconsistency in costumes, hair and props, etc), but I thoroughly enjoyed myself and thought I’d share them here as a couple of people have asked to see them. We faced torrential rain on both shoots, which made things a little challenging, but were finally blessed with sunshine and even a heart-shaped gap in the clouds!

I now feel ready to photograph my first wedding, which is good, considering it is in 9 days time!

I’ll be revising my website before the end of this year to incorporate weddings, but until that time, I’ll share the occasional wedding post here…
