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.
