I was just a guest taking photos. I was asked to be the main photographer but I've never done anything like it before so said no. The joke of it is, the official photographer (who cost £4k!!) actually didn't get very many nice shots at all and the bride and groom were very very un-happy about the work they produced!

Anyway, here are a couple of my favs that I took on the day for you to see :)

This was my friend with her horse. She hadn't seen it in 3 years as its looked after by someone in Kent and my friend is always travelling and infact now lives in Chicago. I was tucked at the back behind the guests trying to pick shots off between the gaps in people with the 70-200.

And this is a more traditional shot of the bride and groom. They were walking towards the conservatory where the evening dinner was being served.

It was a lovely afternoon, although it rained the whole time! But I had fun and it was nice to get out of my comfort zone and photograph something I'm not used to!

Both shots taken with my D2x and a 70-200 2.8, thanks for looking :)

EDIT: Here at work the pics seem a little dark, but at home they looked ok.

If the horse had just been re-united with it's owner after 3 years, why the long face? ;)

No.1 is a great shot and really captures the moment.

Tell me about it!! Their website was full of amazing shots and they won photog of the year in 2005 as boted by some wedding magazine but the pics my friend ended up with were nothing like the quality she expected. Very un-impressed :(

Fantastic couple of shots. :)

It's funny with these award winning photogs. I've seen and experienced past pros, and even presidents of national photo organisations, with some awesome photos, but on the day, don't do anything amazing.
