At the core of the day I felt a true sense of partnership between Aida and Bob. I am a sentimental fool at heart so when I see two people so in touch with one another it does give me pause every time I have them infront of my camera.

Photographically, even though the weather was not cooperating, it only gave me a few problems when shooting outside. Thank goodness Nikon made their cameras rain proof! Even though I was a little restricted by my environment and movement I didn’t make things harder for me, on the contrary it forced me to think on my feet which got the old blood rushing a bit! Unusually I was carrying a Nikon and a Canon; my main camera will always be the Nikon D3 but I’ve been able to carry a Canon 5d Mark 2 around with me recently so I wanted to know how it performed. Because of it’s large zoom range (24mm to 105mm) I could get some nice shots. Hoever, it was the D3 that saved me a few times when I need to shoot fast; it was the utmost importance to me that I got the balance of great wedding photography with keeping the Bride and Groom comfortable. Not easy when it’s cold, drizzly and windy!

It is just an observation on my part, but I believe you can tell what kind of people the couple are by the people they invite to their wedding and to me it seemed like the have the riches of good people in abundance.

Right now, I’m in the middle of editing a few thousand photos from several weddings in September so I wish I could write more, but I shall leave you with this about Aida and Bob’s wedding day. I just hope all my future weddings will be as indelible as theirs.

I hope you like the sneak peek at just a few of their photos I edited especially for this blog.

The Catering was done by Seasons Catering based in Old Amersham. I have never met them before but I was very impressed with their hard working ethic but also very impressed with how well they worked together. So as a quick nod to them, here’s a group shot of just a few of the outstanding staff.

The bride has labored many hours and internet searches to find the perfect footwear. For such a small item the shoes represents an important detail that I enjoy capturing.

As the Wedding Photographer, photographing the Bride’s shoes is a very creative time. Of course there is pressure to get great photos in a documentary fashion, but there is also an amazing amount of flexibility to experiment and try different things. Often the clients like the shoe shots I take which is a testament to me doing something right!

If you’re a Bride to be, then consider getting your photographer to photograph your shoes, if not for the album but as an important piece of your very important day. As the saying goes, “The devil is in the details”.

More photos to come, but I hope you enjoy these for now.

I will be back at the Great Barn in late August and I just cannot wait!!!
