:Wedding: Trinity College, Cambridge. Louise and Mark
So it was a weekend full of photographs for me. In total I pressed the shutter button 1608 times. Wow. It all started on Saturday in great style with the wedding of Louise and Mark at Trinity College. I actually shot it with another local wedding photographer, Jean-Luc Benazet. Check out his blog post on the wedding. Anyway, Trinity is an absolutely fantastic venue, it’s almost impossible to get a bad shot in the chapel. That said, it’s a bit of a cavern and there isn’t much light in there so you better have a modern camera with good high ISO performance!
I shot the entirety of the ceremony using the natural light. Those clever people who built the chapel designed it well, when the sun shines you get a lovely pool of light just in front of the alter. Unfortunately, this being England, the weather was a touch hit and miss and we rarely got the full effect. The other great thing is the organ nest, high above the main floor. I chose to dot around between floor and nest getting some great viewing angles.
After the ceremony I finally got the chance to have a proper chat with the lovely couple. And, well, yes, they’re fab. Had a great time running around with them avoiding the rain and getting some fun formals. I really love spending 20min with a couple after the formals and doing my best to make them into rock stars…
Well what do you do after all that? Simple, dinner, cake then off to the next photo assignment…
Well that’s it. Thanks for the awesome wedding guys and best of luck in the future.

Lovely photos. My (rather cheaper) Nikon didn’t do quite as well with the high ISO settings
rather grainy. What did you do to louise’s veil?
It was an absolute pleasure to have you photograph our wedding. You were so easy to get on with and we had quite a few laughs! Our friends and family loved you too. These photos left us speechless. They are absolutely incredible! We are so looking forward to the others! We would certainly recommend you to others! We wish you all the very best in the future! Thanks so very, very much.
Very nice photos indeed.
My lowly Nikon D40 had a hard time as well.
these photos are stunning!! really beautiful
Wow! These are fantastic – they capture all the romance and history beautifully.
Hi Kat,
I actually used a flash directly behind Louise’s veil in order to light it and give it that blown out white look.
Thanks,
Alex
