Saturday 19th July saw me cover a local wedding at St Winifreds in nearby Shepshed. I seem to have been really lucky so far with relaxed, informal vicars & priests who are happy for me to shoot throughout the ceremony with no restrictions as long as I’m unobtrusive and discreet (which of course I am) and do not use flash (I don’t).
It’s an absolute pleasure when this happens rather than being banned to the back of the church or asked not to shoot through the ceremony, yet guests happily fire away from their seats willy nilly with their cameras & flash. Watch this space now, I’ve given myself the jinx and my next officiant will ban me from taking any shots!
If you’re reading this and plan to get married, a good bit of advice is to talk through any restrictions with the venue and officials before deciding to book – unless of course you are happy to have pictures of your back from 50 yards down an aisle!
A great couple to work with & loads of fun on the day. I’d like to wish Matthew & Alison well for their future together. The reception was held at Burleigh Court, Loughborough.
