So the bank holiday was another mammoth photo weekend for me. It all kicked off this time on the Saturday with the wedding of Betsy and Freddie in Great Sampford, Saffron Waldon. This was one of the few weddings that I’ve shot where I didn’t stay for the whole day. The main reason was that Betsy and Freddie were only after a small amount of coverage, and since it was my birthday and arranged at the last moment I caved. I had a great time, got some fab candids and even made it back in time for a birthday dinner.
As you might be able to tell I went with a slightly more grungy look with these, it seemed to really gel with the couple. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments and as always more photographs after the jump!
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!
So Saturday saw my first E-Session of the season, the lovely Matthew and Catherine. The premise of the shoot was the fact that they’re really big kids at heart, so where do kids head? The park of course! These guys are real jokers, I spent the entirety of the first part of the session desperately trying to hold back laughter and hold the camera straight. After lots of fun we headed into Cambridge for something a bit more serious and finished off on the Bridge of Sighs (well Matt and Cat on the bridge, me on an adjacent one) at St Johns college.
