Wedding: Hotel Felix, Cambridge – Emily and John
Remember Emily and John from their engagement shoot around Cambridge earlier this year? Well a couple of Saturdays ago I finally got to shoot their wedding at Hotel Felix. I’d actually taken a look around while photographing Unnada and Graham’s wedding there a month ago and came in with some ideas of things I wanted to try. Until, that is, the weather put paid to those and we had to find some new options. Emily had told me she wanted some drama in some of the photos. Not being your average wedding photographer I decided to take that idea and run with it – smoke time. Really works for the first photo I think, creating a whole load of atmosphere.
More photos after the jump…
Hotel Felix has a really nice garden and luckily the weather held long enough for us to have the wedding outside. Only slight problem is that the gazebo is surrounded by flower beds, meaning I had to get a little dirty getting the photos. Oh well, that’s what washing machines are made for! If you look really closely you might even be able to spot my flowerbed cameo from one of the photos taken by my amazing assistant Tom…
More adventures to come,

I love the smoke image! Very true that it adds atmosphere!
I love the way you caught the rain in the last two pictures amazing work.
Really interesting use of flash in a lot of your work.
And nice processing techniques too.
Care to share any tips?:-)
About all I can tell you is to read the strobist and try to take it all in. Let me know if you ever want to chat about it all.
