A selection of images from Joe & Emma’s wedding at Leez Priory, Chelmsford in Essex.
Much to the disappointment of the heavens opening up on me throughout the day, I found I had to work inside the priory for most of the shots.
For the preparations I worked my normal procedure of first with the bride, and second with the groom.
I stayed with Emma, inside the priory – working only with natural light on my 24mm & 85mm lens. Thinking that flash would kill the scene.
The boys were inside a small bedroom with Joe & James ( best man) getting ready, ring shots, and the final getting ready shots.
A few select groups were taken in the “piano room”, space was tight and lighting was none existent.
I used one Quadra with a 4ft softbox, and some ambient light was pouring in from a window camera left which seemed to work perfectly.
After the ceremony we did manage to get a break in the clouds for 15 minutes to walk Joe & Emma around the gardens for a handful of posed shots, again ambient levels were right down to a level that we had to re-introduce the lights.
.
All in, it was a very successful day considering the poor weather even if it did take me a whole hour to find a local shop open for breakfast.
A big thanks to Tracey ( front of house) at Leez Priory, catering for my every need.
