Saturday 25th February, I spent the day assisting a professional and award winning wedding photographer, Nick Williams, on Bristol based wedding.
The wedding photography lasted just over 6 hours, with me being exhausted from the amount of learning I had achieved in the short amount of time. Nicks style is immensely fast paced and energetic with a great deal of emphasis being places on laughter and jokes to make the whole ordeal of having the photos taken, that bit easier on everyone.
Nick uses a huge amount of off camera flash and plays with natural light amazingly well, with well over 10 years experience in the bag he really has achieved a great platform in which to shoot fantastic weddings.
For me, the day has told me that I need to become a lot more confident in the way I shoot, and pay a huge amount of attention to where the light is in relation to the wedding party i am photographing. With such small time frames in which to shoot, positioning of people has to be done immensely fast, with the same happening when it came to camera settings.
With 6 hours worth of shooting and my own editing time nearer 4, I feel this should equate to 1.5 days towards my work based learning.
Above you will find a select few shots from the day.
