Wedding Photographer for St. Catherine's Church Wokingham, Berkshire

AA

 

St. Catherine Church and Park Farm Wokingham

I would describe UK ’s raining season to be the end of July in 2017.  At the same time, I had weddings to photograph every Saturday through the month of July.  However, as a seasoned professional, no rain would stop me from photographing Karen and Paul’s special day. 

I and Oliver arrived at Park Farm where Karen was getting ready for her big day, which happens to be their home.  I could see the large marquee in their considerable sized garden and the caterers were busy with the decorations and the preparations.  After photographing Paul and his groomsmen, we got ready at another location just a few miles away. The rain starts to come down hard when Paul got into a vintage Rolls Royce on his way to the church.  We were determined to make it the best day ever, no matter what weather it was.  We had my first ever confetti photography in the rain complete with colourful umbrella and the big red London bus where I had done a lot of photographing jobs.  As the day went on, it was getting even better as the rain stopped and with beautiful evening light.  I had Karen and Paul outside in their garden for more beautiful portraits.

At the end of the day, we discovered that the rain actually helped with the wedding.  Guests were all staying in the marquee, with the music playing and the drinks flowing, people had a fantastic time and there were unmistakably feelings of celebration and happiness.

Karen and Paul's "Uniquely Your" album. 

Album size: 16 x 12 inches (32 x 12 when open)

Format: coffee table book

Cover: image on brushed aluminium in gloss finish, wrapped with genuine leather in blue

For Karen and Paul’s album, I want it to be a bit more on the classic side but also with creative elements to it. I had kept the design detail fairly low key but when you look closer, you’ll see little creative inputs in the album that make it stood out from all other albums.

During our pre-wedding session, Karen had expressed the fact that all their guests and families that attending the wedding are very important to her and Paul personally, especially to the fact that they had invited them to their home for the wedding. Based on that brief, I have dedicated a substantial amount of the space for the wedding guests and the activities of the day.
