Conor and Georgina - 9th Jan 2010
2010 weddings have kicked off and my first of the year saw me in Winchcombe at Wesley House for a pretty chilly winter wedding. With snow on the ground it was necessary to take it a tad slower than usual, not only for myself but also the guests who we coaxed outside for a couple of group photos!
I must confess....I did engage in baby talk at this point. Something of a specialist subject of mine.
It's worth noting Georgina hadn't even considered a shawl - brave girl.
Above is one of my favourite photos from the day as she walked into Wesley House (The first time). Yep, shortly after this was taken she left to go back out and in (long story) due to natures calling!
Wesley House is 'cosy' for space when you're a photographer - especially when you don't want to block the guests view. A huge amount of backlighting from behind the Bride and Groom, dropping off into near darkness really makes it hard for photos. The irony is, the lovely registrar was happy for me to take photos from wherever, whenever........problem was the Bride and Groom were facing one way most the time.......away from the light - doh!
Cool huh - Wesley House was wonderfully decorated for a winter wedding. Very warm and inviting.
It's quite a good picture that!
What great earrings. They were always gonna make a good pic. A* to this wedding guest.
I don't often put group wedding photos up on my blog. BUT....this one was special. I mentioned Wesley House was small inside right (well compared to Manor Houses, Castles etc)? So with space at a premium and good light outside, this weekends group shots were taken across the main road through Winchcombe. Voila!
Thankfully snow conditions does keep the number of motorists down, and freezing temperatures keeps guests moving in and out pretty quickly!
One street, one alley, one balcony.
Three couple portraits, all within 30 seconds of the Wesley House front door. Perfect for a chilly day with next to no time before we lost the light.
Did I mention wedding details? Wedding flowers anyone? They had loads of them - Tulips too, my favourite (can a guy have favourite flowers?).
