Church wedding and celebration and Elm Tree pub in Beech hill
All weddings are about the emotions, the family and friends who come together to celebrate the special occasion. Hannah and Rob’s wedding day started like most of the weddings I have been photographing over the years. Hannah’s bride preparation was in the family home, and Rob was getting ready with the groomsmen at their own home, followed by a church ceremony. The celebration, so far sounded very conventional you might think; but a closer look at the details of the wedding, you could see that it was a wedding with a difference. First of all, their wedding transport was Ford Focus RS with blue ribbon and balloons, arriving at the church with a lot of crack and bangs. Thereafter, there was a musical performance from the family members in the church. The celebration was rounded up in Elm Tree pub, a local gastro pub serving fantastic food.
As soon as I heard about the wedding plan, I knew I wanted to put a bit of twist on the wedding photography. Something a bit more fun, a bit out there and at the same time, extraordinary. There were elements that could be described as conventional. It's about mixing different style of photography to best capture the special day.
Hannah and Rob's "Uniquely Your" album.
Album size: 16 x 12 inches (12 x 32 when open)
Cover style: book fold
Cover: image on brushed aluminium in satin finish, wrapped with genuine leather in blue
From what I saw at the wedding and what I know about Hannah and Rob, I decided to use some bold and unusual design elements for the album, repeated images that layout like pop art, using multiple images to layer images together to create depth and make the image really stand out.
I knew the conventional design of one photo next to the other is not going to cut it for this wedding image. The result is a uniquely designed album that was only for Hannah and Rob.
