Heidi & Marc's Wedding day...

Ok, so not posted in a while... not that anyone is reading or following, but hey, you never know..

So the latest wedding, and I am most certainly enjoying doing them, I'm getting to meet some great people, and I think my photography is getting better and better.

So this is from the wedding of Heidi and Marc, Heidi is my better half's sister, they had again booked a 'pro', but wanted me to take a few shots as well... the more natural, which I guess is really along the lines of my style.

The setting is in the Lake District, just outside Ulverston at a little place called the Coot on the Tarn... absolutely beautiful, I guess, from my limited experience, a photographers dream, lake and hills as a backdrop for photos, with some lovely grassy areas, with a great flower arrangment in the middle...  Check out... thecoot.com


So the day started with the most amazing sunshine, again blessed with great weather... the church was practically on the beach, so a few shots there.. then moving to The Coot on the Tarn for the full on photo's.

This is one of my fav's of the day, we had done the day, the family shots, speaches, and the party was getting into full swing, and the sun was setting on the lake (which I can only assume is called the Tarn) and I thought that I would steal the bridesmaids for a secret photo shoot for the album... the bride was pretty on her way, so wouldn't have looked that nice, eye's gone, very funny.

So we took a few nice posed shots, and everything was going swimmingly, I had already had a few (it was my sister in law to be's wedding) so got a little confident, and started ordering the girls around, and for some strange reason shouted for the girls to do the Charlies Angels pose, the obliged without any complaint, and we had a great time. Laughs all round. And I think this pic just came out really really well... I think so any way...

I stood a good few feet away, using my 55-200mm lens, zooming in a little closer. I was also using my all new Nikon D300s... oh my god, love it..!!!

I had a great time, and now feel very confident about doing a full wedding by my self, but again, I will nto go in all cocky, as I still need a lot more experience, so hopefully I'll get some referals and see what happens...
