The Baby Image Request

When i was shooting the wedding there was a young couple there with a baby, they approached me quite early on in the day and asked if throughout the day i would be able to take some images of their baby for them and they would buy a disk off me with the final images on at the end of it, it was just a random spur of the moment job that got me £20, on top of what i got paid for the wedding. It isn't much but they were only after candid images of their baby being happy and playful on the day.

Gladly i took the offer and spend a while shooting the baby as the day went on, always keeping an eye on it to see if it was doing anything interesting and capturing it when i could.

England & Jones Wedding Continued

So after a day of shooting and a day of editing the images ready to be sent off to the happy couple, all i have to do is find Tom, put the images on a disk and he can take them to the couple. Now to work on the baby images that i received a request for on the day.

Below are just a selection of images from the day.

England & Jones Wedding

July 18th 2011 myself and a professional partner of mine Tom Garrett-Downes, photographed a wedding at Bristols registry office. We spent all day following the couple around from about 9am, till well past 11 with a short break for lunch in the middle, a very long and stressful day but a great experience none the less.

The job was organised by Tom as he knew the couple from outside his professional circle, he rang me up one day asking if i wanted to assist him in this wedding he was shooting? of course i said yes as any experience is good experience. The couple wanted a very simple CD of the days photographs which was a slight letdown as i really wanted to produce a wedding album but sadly they didn't take to the idea.

Because the job was organised by Tom and he knew the couple better we decided that he would be the lead photographer and i would be second. Working as a pair on a wedding is always so much easier than working on your own, the reason i say this is that there were times when tom needed to be taking posed shots and so couldn't take some candid shots of the guests at the same time throughout the day which is where i came in and something that only a pair could do as a team.
