All my wedding shoots are special; this one was great because I got to know the family very well. They are truly lovely wonderful and welcoming people. Even though it was Oscar’s and Toni’s day they went out of their way to accomodate the Photography that was going around them.
My approach was to try and do things differently but remain true to the day. It is very easy to get very abstract and experimental, back in the early days I could get very excited about shooting and have to check myself so that the story and narrative of the day remained true.
The house was packed full of people so there was always an exciting buzz to the place, this was infectious; everywhere I turned there was always a great moment I needed to capture. It was important that I kept my distance so that I did not interfere with the day; this was actually quite difficult because the family was kindly fussing over me and making sure I was comforable in their home. It seemed the more I resisted the more they would fuss
Technically I was armed with a Nikon D3 with a 24-70mm F2.8 lens, and a D300 with a 70-200mm F2.8 attached. It was also very useful to have the Nexto Storage device; the D3 produces files that are 25 megabytes each!
